Bottleworks 13th Anniversary/Stone Brew???

Sounds like fun. I like that we can buy more than two bottles this time around but it doesn't say how many.

 

So last year this was also an anniversary sale with lots of rarities from the cellar on sale and some great stuff on tap as well. Any solid info/wild speculation on that aspect of the 13th anniversary event?

 

They put some Bottleworks 11 on the shelves a couple weeks ago, maybe they put a few other rarities up as well. I'm still going to be there when it opens, just in case. Living within walking distance is nice.

 

I don't get off work until 2 that day.....does that mean I'm going to be too late....?

 

You'll be fine. They made way more bottles this year but it'd still be good to get there ASAP! Good luck, hope you get some!

 

WIll be standing in line...the weather better cooperate.

 

Does anyone know the running cost of the Anny Bottleworks releases or do they traditionall;y vary from year to year?

 

They vary: 11 was $16, 12 was $22, I bet this year will be $15.

 

Also varies by which year you buy that particular year Ie, last year BW 10 was $85

 

Yes, that is true. I was only mentioning the price on release day of said beers.

 

Oh I know...

 

Let's hope some BW anny beers, HotD magnums, or BA Levi and BA Poseidon are on shelves Also could use some C&C La Folie!

 

+1 One of the best post ever.

 

I don't want to be responsible for people getting their hopes up and then having their dreams crushed, but a SKU appeared in Columbia's April price book (Oregon version) for the Bottleworks 13, which is either a bizarre typo or an indication that we'll be receiving some down here as well.

Regarding pricing, I'm going to wager that this hits the shelves at $7-8.

 

That seems reasonable. I can't think of another Stone beer that goes for more than about $8.

 

The only thing I can think of that's gone above that is the 500ml Quingenti Millilitre series that they've started releasing at the brewery.

 

I was in today and there is a shitload of XIII. I plan on showing up around noon.

I have never had XII, hopefully it makes it on tap.

 

10th in line @10:45

 

Made the release and enjoyed one glass on tap, then had to get going... that is one massively complex, dark, interesting beer. (EDIT: price is $6.99, limit six bottles)

Please post in this thread any interesting surprises etc. throughout the day so I know what I missed...

 

In a word, subdued. The crowd that is. Beer on the other hand, amazing. The one big surprise was there wasn't the craziness you see at some beer releases. This is worthy. Get it.
