Bottle Logic Brewing (Summer 2017)

How are the crowds and lines today?

 

2 minutes for bottle pick ups as of 15 minutes ago. Tasting room and warehouse sufficiently packed and uncomfortable.

 

I've been there many times but haven't been there since FO last year. How did you just walk up to the back bar? Did you go through the front or could you get pours by going through the back?

 

NC > FOMO > FO

Hopefully that Porta-Potty next to the bottle pickup got cleaned out today, cause that reeked last night

 

I dunno if he's just load in general. Saw him at a Monkish release, where he couldn't possibly have been drinking enough to the point of inebriation since the bar area had just opened, though I guess trunk tailgating could have been the case. Either way, yeah. Dude needs to get the talk by a group of friends who either aren't deep in their beer ticking world about perhaps dialing it back some.

 

How it look in that taproom???

 

Zero line at back bar (full pours, not tasters). About 10 deep up front - line to the bathrooms, not the front door. Way too hot no matter where you sit.

 

IMO NC is bomb, FO is great as always.

 

FO is awesome as usual. Number Crunch and FOMO are also really good, but I think FO is better without extras added.

No line for pickups and minimal line for pours right now.

 

Well I'm in Montana till tomorrow night so let's hope there's something leftover when I fly in.

 

Confirmed, no line for pick up and pours are very short and doesn't accumulate 5:07

 

I guess this means the FOMO was strong for the FOMO yesterday.

 

Well, you can either 1) walk through the back door and up to the back bar; 2) walk through the side door and up to the back door; or 3) walk through the front door (saying excuse me to the people standing in that line) and walk to the back bar. Literally any of the doors work to get to the back bar. I think most people just see a queue and line up for it without taking a look at the other options.

I went back today around 12:20pm, went in the side door, and waited for about 3 min. before getting my pours. The front bar line was out the door per usual.

 

All 3 were great. FO was top notch again. Despite not tasting as rare as I would like, FOMO was also really enjoyable.

 

FO was good. Number Crunch and FOMO were both out of this world amazing. And going today, BL did an amazing job - a good crowd, but never ran out of beer and no major wait, plus a great staff.

 

Here are some pickup stats from the Fundamental Observation release weekend I thought y'all might find interesting!

We usually close the first night of any given release weekend with around 38-44% completed pick-up ratio.

This past Saturday we closed with a 39% completed pickup ratio and considering the sizable volume increase for this release, that's wild. We closed yesterday at 50% completed pickup. While it certainly felt like it, reading into these stats confirms that Saturday saw nearly four times more pick-up traffic than Sunday. Crazy!

Thanks to all of you who braved the heat and the crowds with us, we're so grateful for your patronage and patience as we tick the final boxes of planning our expansion.

 

Whoops, I botched that second paragraph explaination -- 38-44% is what we usually hit in the first full weekend of a release, not just the first Saturday!

 

Just wondering, but will the expansion also include air conditioning?

 

I doubt it, I don't know anything about the operation, but industrial buildings don't put AC in warehouse space, only in the office build out. Unless this is a Hollywood studio set it is completely rare to do so, the cost to install, operate, and maintain wouldn't be financially worth it. Now the office area/tasting room is another story.

In my opinion all were great but if I had to split hairs, NC>FO>FOMO. FOMO tasted like a coffee beer and that was the only flavor I got, no vanilla or anything. Considering all the craziness on Saturday, the bottle logic staff did an amazing job. Also, local breweries benefited from the release because noble and green cheek were packed as well.
