Transient Artisan Ales (2019)

Maybe 20

 

Any update on the line? The baby decided that I’m not going to be able to head out until early afternoon.

 

It's not kentuckley bad but line has wrapped around the block. I'd say more than 50, less than 100 at this point.

 

I think Chris does a great job with the releases because of the fact that he varies the limits which allows the beer to be available for people for the entire day. Kentuckley bottles were available past the original Bark Lord Day so as bad of a shitshow that people claim it was, you were able to roll up at 8pm & get on of their most sought after bottles with zero line.
Transient announced earlier in the week that limits would LIKELY be 6 Smuckley & 4 Prince so for those planning a long drive you have an idea in advance what you would be looking at. Yes those allotments will go down as the day goes on so if wanna shitlord & get in line at 7am...cool but if you wanna roll in at 4pm w/no line then you can still get bottles. You probably won't get 6/4 but thanks to changing allotments you'll get some.

This is how they've done every release & I think it's a great way to accommodate both the shitlord flippers/sellers and they loyal members/patrons that have no interest in standing in line

 

Limit currently is 3 smuckley, 2 prince. 4pm eastern

 

IE....today I rolled in at 2:45pm and the limit was 4 Smuckley & 3 Prince of Barkness with absolutely no line at all

 

Anyone want to grab me some for cost if theyre still around? I throw some BAISLBS and any BA rev cans as a thank you...long shot but I love Transient's BA stuff and couldnt make it because im taking the Bar this week

 

Good luck!

 

Felt this release was mich smoother than,Bark lord. Likely, due to smaller crows. I didn't arrive until around 12:30-12:40 and got the full allotment, back on the road by 1:30ish. Not bad at all

 

Larger crows often cause immense problems at beer releases...their intelligence, matched with their physical strength usually get them to the front of the lines quickly. And they do NOT adhere to the arbitrary limits set by Transient!!!

 

my phone loves to change words on me

 

Does anyone know when full turbo batch 1 was canned, approximately?

 

It looks like it was added to untappd 6/26 so I would guess somewhere around then https://untappd.com/TransientArtisanAles/beer?sort=created_at_desc

 

Thanks. I didn't know that feature existed on untappd.

 

Yikes. Looks like Transient’s founder/owner was charged with home invasion relating to a July 30th incident. Not a good look.

Is this definitely him and not another person with the same name?

 

I guess it could be another Chris Betts of the same age who lives in the same Michigan town lol...

 

Didn't he just get married, too?

 

Maybe this is something that doesn't need to be discussed here on a public forum about beer?

 

I’ll respectfully disagree. In a market so saturated with quality options, I (and many other consumers I know) prefer to be conscientious about the businesses that we patronize. I understand that not everyone feels this way.

I’m visiting the area next month and had planned on stopping at Transient, but don’t think I will based on this information. I thought that at least one or two readers might feel similarly and pointed out this article accordingly. I didn’t think anyone would take issue with my discussion of a brewery owner in a thread about the brewery. And yes, I’m aware that these are mere charges.
