Smog City Appreciation

Thx for that info. Now lets get BW on the bandwagon. Or is it train. Or......

 

fixie bike?

 

So uhhhhhhh Infinite Wishes? Of course they switch it back to in person only and I have to work on Saturday.

 

The Cinnamon & vanilla, that'll be tasty. Might have to trade for a bottle if I can't try it on tap

 

A line at Smog again. Fun times. And yes, I'm being sarcastic.
I'll show up a couple of hours early and sit in my folding chair. Luckily, the weather is supposed to be chilly on Saturday.
Hoping for my two bottles of Cinnamon Vanilla.
I honestly don't know how long regular will last. They said they made less than in years past, but how much less? Last years lasted for months after release.

 

If you're looking for regular I'd say that as long as you're there by end of January you're safe.

 

I imagine that's why they made less but I sure hope it at least lasts through the day. Turns out I don't have to work but I don't think I want to wait in line for the variants. I'm hoping that it's cleared out by like 1:30 or 2 and I can just walk up and buy my regular bottles.

 

Can you post line count? Only enough bottles of variants for 72 people. Hope I can get some!

 

I'm curious why they went back to lines when the BPT sale went pretty smoothly (or did folks have problems & I just got lucky?)
Any one know why they're being so quiet about the price per bottle (no mention on social media or the newsletter)? I'm hoping it's not because they jacked the price up to something insane and aren't posting it to avoid dealing with griping beer nerds like myself.

 

they mentioned they weren't happy with the BPT fees last time around

 

Emailed them and got a pretty quick response (thanks Laurie!). For those wondering:

Regular Infinite Wishes is $14
Variants are $16
Cellared Infinite Wishes
2017: $15
2016: $16
2015: $17

 

Same price as last year on regular, FYI.

 

I just don’t understand why they only made such limited amounts of the variants and why they’re making it so o ly 72 people can get bottles of each. At least make it a 1 per person instead of 2 per.

On the bright side, they apparently made enough for a good amount of the variants on tap, so I’ll at least get to try some when I stop in on Sunday.

 

Where’s grape ape?

 

With the limited variants, I'm curious how line cutters will be dealt with. When only 72 people potentially can purchase, some mf'er jumping in line with his buddy is not the business.

 

Maybe they saw the post where someone complained that Smog wasn't doing 'hip' and 'cool' stuff. And what's cooler than a super limited pastry stout release?!

 

You're welcome.

 

Sadly (though fortunate for me) regular Wishes will be easy to nab. Because that's one of my favorites.

 

Most online sales weren't selling out. As already stated, due to left over inventory and fees, they decided to go back to in house releases.

 

Maybe Monkish will have a can release on Sat, shifting all the attention away
