Bottle Logic Brewing Thread - Winter 2016/2017

Whatever ... it only look 4 AND A HALF HOURS to get a 4-pack of Noble's CANniversary

 

Did they sell out of both cans? Haven't heard or seen anything.

 

Noble's two cans? Yes

 

Check their IG, posted yesterday that it sold out. Not sure what time.

 

I drove up to Noble at 8 am on Sunday, saw large crowd, went back home, put my Scooby PJs back on and slept until it was time to BL it.

 

Had up up on draft today, not sad I missed out on cans.

 

Fundamental Forces release details are up! Raffle style entry for the chance to purchase a single bottle starts this weekend. This is the best way they possibly could have handled this release. Well done Bottle Logic!

Couldn't agree more. Hopefully I get selected in the raffle!

Couldn't agree more. Hopefully I have some lucky with my raffle entry!

 

16.2%!

 

Would like to see how many accounts are created on EB today...

 

Here is hoping for double luck! Wooooo!

 

Love their out of the box thinking and willingness to try new release methods that don't involve shit show lineups ... I'm sure a ton of "relatives" will be signing up for the raffle, but that doesn't bug because at least BL is not taking 4 hours of my life away from me

Does anyone remember how their BL Week went last year? Basically show up every day, buy a beer (or not?) get your passport stamped and you get in the T3 Club? How insane was the line to get those daily stamps? Thank you!

 

Really wish this wasn't a raffle

 

They had a solid line of about 20-30 people at opening each day and the line to get the stamp/pour remained steady and moving quickly. You would get your stamp and in the same line it'll lead you to whatever special pour they were doing for the day.

I think the line remained steady with ebbs and flows throughout the day. I opted to go at night prior to closing on a couple of nights and there was often no waiting. Again, mileage would vary... Though with this coming year and the proof that T3 members get Forces... yeah, it's going to be fairly busy.

Side note, there was, like, I wanna say, about 800 or so folks who got T3 last year, and that number was incredibly high compared to what they were expecting. Think in the prior year when they did the week of logic benefits of bottle opener, teku and t-shirt, they were clearly not as many week long participants.

 

I remember being so disappointed in myself for driving down to BL from Los Angeles 7 days in a row to get those damn stamps. Every month since then, I have been glad I did! Haha...what a nice way to say farewell to us first cohort of T3. Hoping to get in this year as well!

 

Wow - that is CRAZY high IMO ... I mean it's a pretty significant effort for most "normal" folks to show up EVERY DAY, definitely would not project 800 ... good for BL!

 

They're projecting over 3000 to go every day this year

 

Yah mon, you were supposed to buy a beer for each stamp.

But friggin' ay, every day of the Week of Logic, they featured stellar pours like Jam the Radar. I probably had 3-4 full pours each day.

Let's just say Uber was my best friend that week.

 

Shoot, I already put in PTO for that week with the boss. BL is doing things right lately. I like that for these smaller releases they are doing raffles. Keeps people from complaining about stuff being in their cart and missing out. Sure, it lowers my chances, but it's better than stupid lines. Imagine the shit show if they announced a brewery only release? There'd be chairs there right now. In a way, BL is saving lives. Now dumb ass people won't be spending their nights in line, while leaving their dog to baby sit their kid...or bringing their kid. They're Da Real MVPs

 

I think Week of Logic will be run smoother than last year based on how Bottle Logic is handling events recently and now that they have a better idea of what turnout will be. Hopefully the stamp table will be put somewhere else (maybe back of barrel warehouse?) so the back area won't be as congested.
