    That kind of thing can certainly backfire; they'll make more money in the short term but they will probably take a reputation hit. It's likely going to include several items, and likely to not be cheap.

    Not something I personally get upset about; but I do also buy brewery merch quite often.

    Purposely stuffing merch with an item to increase the price of said item that you can’t get any other way is shitty. They have the right do so but I still have the right to think it’s shitty.

    I also don’t even like Double Stack so what do I know.

    It happens a lot in music... buy this tshirt or concert ticket or whatever and get a free album! I mean buy the album and get a free ticket! Or whatever! But either way it counts towards 'album sales' for plaques and sales records and the like!

    The usual Friday update, albeit a tad late this week (it was just sent out by GN a little over an hour ago).


    Happy Friday Y’all! Hope you survived the cold spell… although we don’t think it’ll be our last one. On the other hand, stout season has kicked off on full force to keep us all warm and cozy! Make sure to head to Alberta to try some on tap or even pick up a crowler of PB&J! 3 Notions coming at ya:

    Sat. Can Release
    December 8th


    Sticky Bun - Brewed in collaboration with @thefullpint, this Imperial Breakfast Stout was inspired by one of our favorite desserts. SB was brewed with melted brown sugar, cinnamon and toasted pecans. *Allergy note: contains nuts & cinnamon

    Luminous - The dry-hop and fruit varieties change, but the base beer remains the same. Luminous was fermented with Lactobacillus, our house yeast and boatloads of Oregon strawberries. The malted oats, milk sugar & vanilla beans make for a truly enlightening experience! Side note: Luminous 04 will go on draft very shortly at Alberta :wink:

    Draft at Alberta


    Right now you can find a ‘damn that taplist is fiiiiiiiiiine’ set of beers at Alberta with everything from stouts to hazy IPAs to fruited IPAs to brut IPAs to pilsners to sours and everything in between. Our good homies at Highland Park in LA were super nice to send some of their beloved funky, wild and sour kegs up to us also, so please come and kick them this weekend as well!

    Come on out this Tuesday night, December 11th where starting at 4 pm we are helping raise funds for Jefferson High School in North Portland to rebuild their theatre department. It’s been many years since they’ve had any classes or performances and they want to make theatre accessible to everyone in the community.

    Both Chucks locations got tons of Guava Mochi, Luminous (the new one released today in PDX) and Double Stack cans. They’re a bit spendy but available if you want them.

    How spendy are they up your way? Even down here, ds is $22 a 4 pack. So not cheap.

    I think Double Stack was $27 or $28 for a four pack. I just bought single cans of Luminous and Guava Mochi.

    There will be only 500 holiday gift boxes for sale on the morning of December 15th for $125 each. Local beer drinkers will also be able to buy a limited amount of single bottles of BBDS at a future date that’s yet to be determined. Draft pours of BBDS will be available at GNB’s 2204 NE Alberta Street taproom the week of December 17th. Check out Great Notion’s social media to find out exactly when this will be tapped.

    500 is more than I expected, I wonder how early people will start lining up.

    I'm on my way over there right now. Just dropped off my leave slip with management at work.

    The article doesn't say what, if any, purchase restrictions there will be on Saturday, so I'm still trying to organize and coordinate the mule herd I hope to have on hand.

    You need my hand truck, John, or are you all set?

    Thanks, thanks... appreciate the helpful suggestions and offers of assistance, but I should be OK.

    I'm expecting my "comrades" to do all the necessary heavy lifting (I mean after all, that's why we call them mules, isn't it?).

    Getting ready to post something about this on the trading forum. Still trying to figure out how many bottles of 2018 KBBS and BA Abraxas I should expect for each gift box. I'm leaning towards 3 bottles of each, but I don't want to short myself (and seem like a soft hearted sap).

    John, your posts are making me laugh out loud. Curious to how early we actually need to get there. Maybe 8 or 9am? Is that crazy?

    Agreed. You really can't be too careful about this sort of thing. Imagine if you got there around 8:30 on Friday, only to find out you were the 501st person in line. That would be annoying.

    Not to mention the wasted effort of carrying your Lazy-Boy all the way over there.

    That is a Hard Pass. That could buy a lot of KDS with way less headache. Would try if it is on tap if ever on when there, but no bottles for me.
