Bottleworks XIV anniversary

Is this true? They're having the anniversary event at 11 o'clock on a Monday?
Like
25th of which month BTW?

 

Did I miss an announcement somewhere? Where's the 25th coming from?

 

I swear to Go I saw that somewhere because I put it into my phone calendar...i'll try to verify the "source" but am pretty sure of it...Monday, Feb. 25th. I'll get back to you all.

Doh, wonder how I missed that. Monday.

 

One of Cascade's blending barrels for Bottleworks XIV is a spiced quadrupel aged in rum barrel. We tasted this barrel last year and it was pretty good.

I believe there were 4 maybe 5 different kinds of barrels total but my memory fails me. I don't know what the other barrels were or what the final blend is, but based on this barrel, my guess is that this could be one of the more interesting blends along the lines of a bourbonic plague type vs. their usual lactic base body with the fruit of the day.

 

Thanks Eric! I forgot about that stupid little linked calendar. Lol. See you guys that Monday!

 

I wonder what the cost and limits will be, as well as the final blend.

Cheers,
Ryan

 

Damn. I have mid-winter break the week before (perks of being a school psychologist), and will be back to work on the 25th. Guess I'll have to stop by after work...

 

If history is an indicator, it'll start at $25, and there'll be a 2 bottle limit.

 

Looks like I'll have to find a mule. I'm very displeased by their decision to do this in the middle of a weekday.
Oh well. My fault for having a job.

 

The times posted in the calendar are essentially BW's operating hours on a Monday. If memory serves me, the release "party" runs all day and there's plenty on tap (if there's a keg) and plenty of bottles throughout the day.

 

I hope you're right. Of course last year there were plenty of bottles of Stone's beer, but that might have been an anomaly. I'll definitely try to make it over there after work but I've also had fun hanging out and trying a couple special beers on tap the last two times (including free Deviation last year). I probably won't be able to do that this time around unfortunately.

 

Ha. I heard that story, classic.

I still enjoy his HoTD boobie tassel display at Brouwers last year but I heard the Bottleworks event was one for the record books.

 

BW XII ran out fast, it was still on tap but no bottles left the day after IIRC. XIII seemed like an anomaly to me too. XIV demand is probably similar to XII.

 

Hey now... Those bottles of Matt were displayed from someone elses set of magnificent he-hooters!

 

Bottleworks sent out the press release today. 2/25 all day long. No prices yet.

!!!

 

I don't know they've had XI available for a long time. If it were XII or X it would have been gone a long time ago. Seems like they have a hit about every other year.

 

Press release.
