St.Patricks Day @ Witch's Hat Brewing

See you there!

One question....Is this primarily an outdoor event?

 

@tommyz care to share info on bottle sales? Price, Limit #'s on specific bottles, etc? Also have you tried them yet, always love hearing your thoughts on upcoming releases

 

The three bottles are Trax, Vanilla, and Bushwacker. But bottle releases are ticketed now and tickets were sold about a month ago. Believe limits posted were 6/3/3, and bottles are 12oz now.

 

It's both indoors and outdoors. However, the limited drafts are normally outside under a large tent.

 

Up to 6 Trax per person $9/12oz
Up to 3 Bushwacker per person $9/12oz
Up to 3 Vanillabean per person $8/12oz

As someone else mentioned, their releases are now ticketed and you must be a mugclub member to buy a ticket. I don't know how many bottles they produced, but believe there were 300-ish tickets sold at the pub for the bottle release.

 

Amazing batch od Dragontraxx. It was a great event, drinking all those great beers and watching Michigan win a classic!

 

Went later than I'd have liked and didn't stay nearly as long as I'd have hoped. Still a great event. Bushwacker will surely approach Trax as far as hype goes, assuming it's released again. Great beer.

 

Bushwacker is a winner.

 

This batch of Dragontrax is insanely good.

 

Agree with TommyZ that it is the best batch of Trax. Also think it's the best Vanilla Bean I've had too!

 

Anyone try for bottles at open today?

 

Called 15 minutes ago, they're out already. Not too surprising I guess

 

I liked cin/coconut over bushwhacker. Reminded me a lot of no rules, and I'm not really a coffee fan. Vanilla was my next favorite. Have to let it warm up. Buddy got full allotment on Saturday. Got there a little before noon.

 

Great release and party on Friday. If I recall, this was WH's fourth ticketed release (Well Water, Fury for a Feast 2016, After Xmas Party, St. Pat's Day) and it was the first one I'd been to where the bottle pickup was on the same day as the party. I didn't make it to After Xmas this year, but Well Water was a standalone release and I think Fury For a Feast had bottle pickup the day after the party itself.

Anyhoo, I will concur with several of the things that have been said here. Dragontrax was fantastic. Easily the best it's ever been (although I never got to sample B1). Very peanut buttery, to the point of drowning out the coconut, but in a good way. I'm not sure coconut can really stand up to peanut butter in a beer anyway.

I also loved the cinnamon coconut, precisely BECAUSE it was such a cinnamon bomb. It was lots of cinnamon flavor, but I felt like the barrel and coconut tempered it from being too much. I know that wasn't the prevailing opinion, however. After I tried my pour of Bushwacker, which was also great, I spent the rest of my time alternating Dragontrax and Cinnamon Coconut Night Fury. I did have one pour of Vanilla before I left, and it was good as always, but who knows how it really tasted by that point...

 

Wow, this Bushwacker is awesome.

Reminds me a lot of No Rules...maybe even better. Best beer I've ever had from WH.

 

LOVE that the party and bottle pick up were the same day, please consider doing this for Fury for a Feast next time.

 

??? Bushwacker was very coffee forward for me on tap. Haven't opened a bottle yet though.

 

It's a coconut bomb in the bottle like nr. It's really not surprising there is a big difference between bottle and draft these days.
