Hailstorm Brewing Company

Surrounded by Idiots...Imperial stout with chocolate and macadamia nuts

Sounds awesome, especially with all the breweries involved

 

Huh?

 

I assume that's the name of their new collab. Saw More posted about it yesterday, so they're involved. Not sure who else, but the video had a bunch of people

edit: Found the video.

Hailstorm Brewing Co. More Brewing Co. BrickStone Brewery Flesk Brewing Werk Force BrewingTransient Artisan Ales Rock Bottom Restaurant & Brewery

 

Yeah that's the one...I saw it on fb, and thought it was hailstorm's page, but it was one of the Brewers instead

 

Awesome Brownies, chocolate stout collaboration with Flesk.
Well named. Great cocoa bean roast aroma and cocoa powder dusting flavor, but the mouthfeel disappears. I can just about see the corner piece of Brownie as I lift the tulip to my mouth, and just to the tongue, but then it's gone. It leans fuller, but finishes watery and fails to coat.
Hitting on half the cylinders.

 

This describes most Hailstorm beers for me.

 

If it only hits half the cylinders, I'm not sure it is well named. Maybe Decent Brownies would be more accurate?

 

"We have 1,188 bottles and the limit will be THREE per person.

*IMPORTANT INFO*
When you are in line, our staff will put a wristband on you. If you receive a wristband, you will be able to purchase a full bottle allotment. There is a tear off tab on the wristband, DO NOT REMOVE IT. When you get inside and pay for your bottles, that tab will be removed from your wristband by our staff. If the tab is not attached to your wristband you WILL NOT be able to purchase bottles.

If you do not receive a wristband, there is still a possibility you may be able to purchase bottles. This will depend on the amount of wristbanded customers that purchase less than the full allotment. Remaining bottles will be sold at a limit of one per person.

DO NOT WAIT until later in the day to purchase your bottles. When there are no more wristbanded customers in line, we will switch to the one bottle per person limit and any outstanding wristbands will be invalid."

 

What/when is the release?

 

I believe Vlad Spumoni on Saturday.

 

That's the one

 

Any idea how much time the Vlad base spends in barrels? ("Not enough," while a legit answer, is not a legit answer.)
