Bottle Logic (2021)

I actually haven't had any of their beers and was simply responding to the post above that it wasn't HFCS+ cocoa, which is either a gross understatement or reflecting exceedingly low expectations.

 

Personally I would reserve such descriptors for breweries like Horus, Aslin, Other Half, and Hidden Springs, to name a few names.

BL has always had more drinkability, barrel character, and balance between all elements, while also nailing inspired flavors with just the right amount of adjuncts, for me. But their non-adjunct stuff is right up there with the best of them too.

 

Sounds like i need to check them out! Cheers!

 

I've had plenty of their IPAs and BA Stouts.

Their IPAs are ok but that's not hard to find anywhere and every BA Stout ive had was way too sweet for my liking. Scatter Signal,Pie vs Pie, Study Break,FO all were just not good TO ME.
I will probably give this bottle i got my hands on a try if i don't decide to trade it

 

Well yeah, it's decidedly different than those bottles you didn't like. If you could swing it, it would definitely be worth a side by side with a Voodoo BRC bottle, considering it was a collab with them, and they specialize in non-adjunct BA stouts. It'd also be advisable to seek out a Darkstar November if you haven't had it--never lets me down.

Either way, I'd be interested to hear what you thought of any or all of that.

 

Only 20 cases of this shit hit distro

 

Finally cracked my bottle of details & dialects and was not a fan, neither were the 2 others i shared it with. It felt incohesive, boozey, and had very little peach flavor. Bit of a disappointment as i was anticipating much better.

 

I was just saying that as an exaggerated joke, poking fun at some people’s opinions of pastry stouts as a whole. You should give them a shot though and see for yourself. Some of their beers are sweet but they’re mostly all good in my opinion.

 

I've got friends in Orange I've been meaning to visit, and when I do, Bottle Logic will be on the itinerary!

 

I’m a BL junkie. Rarely have anything less than sterling to say about them. The Spice Must Flow ranks up there with Astronautica Exotica as my least favorite releases. I thought Spice really battled itself on taste/nose. Everyone’s different though! In a world of crappy pumpkin beers, Picture IYW is still tasty. I get one or two every release.

Thanks for the notes on Appied. Also helps to point out your preferences and how you drank it (somewhat hurriedly). I’m happy I don’t live closer. Everything BL releases feels worth a try. I’d be at the tap room all the dang time if I wasn’t halfway across the country. As it is, I have a shockingly cool beer bud who gets me a bottle of nearly everything released. And now I’m poor.

 

Add Basic Math to the list of pumpkin beers I want them to bring back. A pumpkin spice barleywine? Come on now.

 

I have a PIYW ‘19 that I put up on a trading group and I got no bites. It’s spooky szn!?!
I stayed away from that berry pie stout. I just want nothing to do with berries and stouts. I stopped buying Jam the Radar because I ended up trading all of them away. I just don’t like the tartness.

 

2021 Fundamental Observation sold out locally within 48 hours. 16 bottles of 2020 FO that no one wanted. Store owner said he asked for more, but distributor cannot guarantee any more commitment. I missed out so far. For those of you lucky enough to have acquired it, congratulations. Look forward to reviews in the virtual bar.

 

Did something happen to Bottle Logic’s IG account?

 

You haven’t been blocked; Instagram has deactivated our account. We’ve seen posts from so many brewery peers about content being pulled down and account deletion being threatened over the past two weeks — after posting our typical Stasis Project release graphic announcing the new availability of Electric Eden, we were logged out of the business account with deactivation notifications. While we work to appeal the deactivation and restore the account, keep an eye out for our release updates at our Facebook and Twitter media channels!

It’s a particularly unfortunate time to lose our best channel of communication while such important dialogue is taking place around MBCC and the continued goal of making progress toward a safer, more equitable environment throughout the brewing industry. Here are my thoughts on our attendance:

“I will be at MBCC pouring the beers that I developed and modeling the values that I stand for under the banner of the brand that I have built. I’m Lindsay, the Creative Director of Bottle Logic Brewing. As a female in a leadership role, I am committed to attending because my withdrawal from this space will only lead to a less diverse space.

Perhaps my noise hasn’t been loud or brave enough yet, but I’ve been here, quietly doing the work since the beginning. I’ve got the restraining orders against poorly behaving guests and festival attendees to show for it. I’ve been the scapegoat other breweries use to keep the same undesirable guests out of their own festivals. I’ve been pushed off CBC panels in favor of another male voice whose title wouldn’t be confused for “the marketing girl.” I’m tired of being painted into a corner and having my decisions made for me.

Abusers should be driven from the industry, but organizations and the Brewing Industry culture as a whole should be improved and reformed and that comes from engagement, not exclusion.

It’s important that Mikkeller’s history was brought into the spotlight again this week — it helps ensure that they are held accountable and that their missteps are not forgotten. It ensures that the conversations are happening, and for me and the diverse team of kind hearts at the brewery I represent, it feels important to be there and be part of the change.”
