Bottle Logic Brewing Thread - Winter 2016/2017

Honestly though, it's not going to be a solid indicator since every ambitious person will have gotten a strategy guide yesterday and I'm guessing 1/4 will not complete it for the seven days. The real indicating factor would be on Wednesday/Thursday on how many have gotten all days stamped, which they can tell then since all the boxes up until then would have been stamped.

So yeah, books given out isn't exactly equal to how many will complete it.

 

True ... but if they have a good feel of "breakage" - might be able to project fairly accurately. Plus I'm just curious to see what the number is, especially compared to last year.

 

Other than your specific Strategy Guide, are they keeping track some Other way? Not sure how they'd get accurate numbers by simply asking people.

 

I beg to differ. I got no heat whatsoever. Sure it was smooth upfront but after at least 40--45 mins or so the flavor remained. The vanilla was mild upfront when cold though mellowed out much more throughout. A bit of heat but not as prominent as you would think for a BA stout with such a high ABV. I'd let this one sit for a bit prior to enjoying but then again it's a sipper.

Price tag was a bit higher than the norm however, with the recent hikes in pricing in some places that's also local, it's understandable. I'm not one to gripe for something that's quality that's for sure though this isn't liquid gold either but it's a heck of an awesome beer.

One thing to note though: At the rate they are going & with an eventual annual release party like this, if they ultimately go the stone brewing anniversary route, I believe these guys will kill it. Well done Bottle Logic, everything about how it was set up this year was great.

FYI this was in relation FF, for some reason the quotes I was replying to got erased though it was regarding the "heat" someone had mentioned. perhaps a bit too much for his palette?

 

We've talked about Fundamental Forces but how about that Level of Gravity? It had a nice, mild fruity tartness to it and made for easy drinking. I think I might have even preferred it over the FF.

 

Agreed, though the pizza, ehh. I used that towards earls of sandwich afterwards. I had thought about getting something from the cut but for that I can go to tsunami burger instead (much better though may be out of some peoples way thus, this is Still a recommended roach coach should you want to just eat, drink & enjoy good times there on site that's for sure).

 

Didn't get a chance to try that, hopefully today.

 

Shit if that were the case... then some, not all, would be Big Pimpin. Who knows?

I think i better start showing off my Pirate bomb collection along with my vanilla bean porter that stone is apparently no longer making. Then i can roll with them other fools.

 

Pizza trucks like Hobo really need to offer sides instead of just the damn pizzas. I mean, yeah, I get that's the point but would it hurt them to offer garlic knots or something? Some days I just don't want to eat a personal pizza!

 

There's a spot on the back of the guide for the stamps. Just counting the amount given out will only indicate how many people showed up. It doesn't factor in how many will just be going for 3 stamps (bottle opener) or 5 (for glass?) There's only specific "givers" that can stamp the book when you buy the beer, so they can mark off how many stamps they did where it's looking like they're reaching the full week stamps.

So yeah, it's still too early to tell how many will make the week trek and establish if level up folks will be limited to level 1 stasis projects.

 

I was really impressed with Level of Gravity. The balance all around was on point, brett wasn't in your face. I'd be interested in bottles depending on price point.

 

Week of Logic Day 2 ... Arrived at Noon, about 75 people in line ... didn't open doors until 12:07pm. In beer line at 12:12pm. Darkstar November 2016 in hand at 12:28pm. Pretty thin crowd at this point which is 12:35pm.

 

I'm not really digging today's beer. I'm not big on wine in the first place so the red wine barrels don't do much for me.

There's also a weird aftertaste I can't quite place. Kind of musty.

 

Just left. Was completely over dressed. DSN was tasting pretty Damn good.

Lol @ who ever posted they got no heat from FF. Either lying or have no taste buds.

 

I'm not a lambic guy, so it would have to be the greatest lambic ever for me to enjoy. Passed.

 

Each day is a different stamp. It started with UP UP, today is DOWN DOWN, etc etc.

 

Shiiit, better not bring your girl around me. She's gonna see that Bramble Rye in my cellar and gonna call you a cab. not talking about your actual real life girl or wife.

 

Pretty easy to guess the rest.

 

And yet, there still may be some youngins that don't know the Konami code.

 

1:30ish, got lucky for a close parking spot. Walked right in then walked right up to order. Darkstar is and always money, level of gravity is good not usually my style.
