    I bought oak aged FM and it was around $20 a four pack. I remember thinking it was really well priced and I should have bought more. It was really tasty.

    Yes sir. That was a great beer. Heard Tröegs actually dumped quite a bit as soon as it hit a year old for QA purposes.

    that was a mistake. I still have one and the last one I had was really good.

    Out of curiosity, can I ask the price on the 3F Hommage Bio? We don’t get Tavour up here. I just ordered a case of it and Framboos from our local importer (6x750). Curious to see if the price is similar down there. It comes out to about US$ 38.00 with the current exchange rate here.

    Does anyone who why some beers appear as "Waitlist me" for days after they have been claimed, while others disappear from the list after a few minutes of being posted (also presumably once they have been claimed by enough people)? I have seen it happen a couple of times lately. Once with the ADWTD and also with Little Beast Lager. Any ideas?

    I really have no concrete knowledge, so this is all just speculation. It makes me wonder if the overall supply has an effect on that. ADWTD went to waitlist in about 15 minutes and disappeared from my app within an hour or two while others will stay waitlisted for days. It makes me wonder if Tavour ever tries to secure more product after a beer has gone waitlisted. In a few instances I've seen a beer available to order again a few days after it initially went to waitlist. Did they possibly reach out and secure a few more cases of something that isn't extremely limited from the source? I also wonder if they wait until the waitlist hits a certain percentage of their supply before removing it. I'm sure some waitlists are very lengthy while others not so much. Or is it just a matter of them not having enough staff to constantly go through and remove those listings? I have no idea.

    tldr - It's early, I'm hungover, I'm rambling, and I have no answer for your question. Sorry about that.

    What you said makes sense. It's probably a matter of how long each waitlist is. These folks have their algorithms for everything. I guess it's a good thing these beers get removed from the list so they don't become a tease for those that didn't grab any...

    Speaking of waitlisted. I have 11 to choose from. Of which 3 aren’t waitlisted. 2 IPAs added today And the 3F frambozen. Everything else waitlisted. The ipa bundle Still there was waitlisted by 7AM yesterday for me, that one I would have considered buying just to get my ADWTD faster.

    In my area so far today we only had one IPA (Triple IPA, to be more accurate) from Revision. I wonder what IPAs you guys got in your region.

    Aloha surfer from trophy brewing in Raleigh NC.

    keep it from Anchorage May have been there yesterday but I didn’t see it until today. I didn’t look at tavour after lunch yesterday and it wasn’t there then.

    Interesting. Neither of these is visible on my account. Neither of these two breweries distributes in my area regularly (Anchorage sends some bombers of sours sometimes) so it is interesting why Tavour would not make them available to us. Very intriguing.

    I'm seeing the same stuff that you've mentioned with Revision being added earlier and a stout from 903 Brewers tonight. That Revision TIPA is already waitlisted here. I'm assuming we consistently see the same stuff though being that we're in the same state.

    Yea their algorithm is strange to me. Sometimes they offer things that are available in my area like indeed brewing out of Minneapolis is offered at liquor stores here. I understand wild minds as they don’t deliver locally but that one is a head scratcher

    903 is becoming one of my fav breweries on tavour. Had a few stouts and their slushees I almost always order.

    just had a 2014 b-bomb and dark star added for $75. Passed as not a big fan of them

    The algorithm seems quite accurate to me. For instance I’ve never seen in Nevada Revision or Modern Times. Both breweries I get normal distribution of with one based in Nevada and one in California. However I do get a number for California breweries like Bare Bottle, Cellador, smog City that I don’t get any distribution of in Nevada

    You’re misunderstanding we are here to complain. Actually no. 90%of the time I get stuff I can’t get in this area. But 10% I do get stuff that I can pick up at my local liquor store. But there’s nothing wrong with that. I don’t expect Seattle to know what I get in Wisconsin. Also I’m entitled to buy what I like and don’t have to pick up the local stuff. Plus it helps me know their pricing better. Like the bruery white chocolate is 17.99. I can get it for 14.99 at our local woodmans (grocery store with great liquor store). But it shows me when I buy smog city I’m not overpaying much.

    Is anyone else being forced to use a business mailing address now? I've used Tavour a ton in the past, always had it shipped to my house, never had any issues, loved the service.

    I recently went to start building a new crate and it's telling me they can only deliver to business addresses in my zip code now. This honestly seems ass backwards considering most people are now working remote or at home and can easily sign for delivery.

    Wonder if it’s local liquor law changes. Not a problem for myself.

    I'm glad Tavour doesn't ship to Wyoming.
