    Since when? I’ve never had an infected bottle out of the 10-12 I’ve opened.

    you know what they say: i’d rather have six bad raspes than a vanilla rye.

    i’m totally kidding. i meant the raspe is infected (which of course it is - it’s a wild ale)

    No doubt. 5 more days of work then I'll be drinking my weight in BBT. Can't wait!

    How long does BBT typically last on-site? I’ll be in town the Wednesday after the release and wondering if I have a chance.

    2017 lasted into 2018 (although it may not have been consistently available but i do remember drinking it several times on-site for the next couple months.). sadly, those days are long gone. BBT2 has hardly ever been on-site and when it has been it’s been draft. it got annihilated last year during BBT weekend and i suspect it to be as bad or worse this year. so while i don’t have a definitive answer for you, i wouldn’t get your hopes up. sorry. the best i can say is to check the cellar’s website, which will be up to date by open.

    Wasn’t BBT going to be available for on-site each day of bottle pick-ups? Or do I have that wrong?

    that’s the way the details read at the bottom on their website, although it didn’t specify how it would be available (draft or bottle or both).

    yes, but @Mplsbrew isn't visiting until the week after BBT, if i’m reading his post correctly.

    Ahhh. I’m with ya now. Yeah, I’m guessing it won’t last a minute past the Sunday after Thanksgiving. That’s just a guess tho.

    For reasons I can’t recall, 18 was a smaller batch than 17, so they skimped on kegs in order to keep the bottle count similar(though still slightly smaller). My understanding is this year’s batch is the biggest of the three.

    No guarantee, but I’d expect draft to be more available this year.

    my guess is the best bet for on-site BBT after the initial weekend is the brewery anniversary party.

    How about folks that will be there that weekend? Do you need to get there right at open (either cellar or brewery)?

    The way the blog made it seem they should have plenty of BBT to last through the Sunday after Thanksgiving. I imagine it will be bottles, but would be happy if it was on draft. They are really good about honoring their commitments. If they say they will have it they will have it.

    i bet there’s plenty for BBT weekend. the question posed was AFTER BBT weekend.
