Bottle Logic Brewing (Q3 2018)

Down here too. So stoked at the opportunity to get some extra bottles!

 

Anyone willing to part with their Stasis Patch?

 

I fear we are moments away from a point that can't be uncrossed in beer trading:

"ISO Free FOb4 merch
FT Actual FOb4"

Tread carefully my friends, this is a bold new world...

 

Any idea how long the line is for pick up only? I have a long drive to make.

 

Line for pickups is pretty long: I hear like 25 minutes? Inside, not much in the way of lines, except at the two food trucks.

FOMO is better this year: coffee bitterness and vanilla sweetness are playing together really well!

 

Fomo: all coffee. Fococo: nice amount of coconut. Fundamaple: pretty much zero maple.

 

FOMO’s coffee is a little bit more subtle this year.

Not sure I dig Never Tella Me the Odds, hazelnut comes off as too artificial.

 

How is parking? What about lines for pours and bottles?

 

Just park at Brewery X. As for lines I’m here now and zero lines. Just hot as hell

 

Hearing a lot about the heat and humidity. I previously planned to attend 4-5 but it's looking like 8-9 now. Can't be drinking those huge stouts in this heat!

 

Music to my ears, 15 mins out and hoping to do a taste of everything, grab bottles and bounce in an hour or so.

How are the pour sizes?

 

7oz pour for the big boys. $7 for FO and $8 for the other 4 variants

 

FO was delicious. Neva Tella Me the Odds was just ok, I thought the adjuncts took away from the base beer rather than improved on it. FOCOCO was the star for me. Had to drink all 3 quickly though, the pregnant wife was not having it with today’s heat!

 

Wait, stasis patch? You mean the one they give out to X amount of people first in line for a release?

Also, no wait currently to pick up bottles.

 

Insanely hot today, not fun that the water they have is almost boiling while trying to sober up.

 

Perfect description.

 

90 minutes, all four variants, ice cream and bottles. Not enough dogs but it's pretty hot out so what are ya going to do. We also lucked out massively and decided to go for it after running errands in Tustin, but by 5pm the sun set enough for buildings to shade the lot. Plenty of people but never wanted in line.

Variants we're all interesting, but no clear winner, just drink what you like. My palate was spoiled by opening a FOb1 last night and nothing will compare but pound for pound I'll happy continue to buy FO and hope a day comes when it is a regular at my shops.

If I had to choose maple was my personal favorite.
Only complaint was the pour size. Wife and I are 28+oz deep and didn't try the OG. I'd prefer 5oz pours but I'll manage.

Nicely done BL

 

Did they have a water station?

 

Yes, a HUGE one! Like all BL events, this was executed very well.

 

Yes, two, it just got insanely hot, so the water was pretty much boiling.

Other than that, the event was well run.
