Latest Pipeworks Releases and Updates

Before your comment about not being able to sell it, I didn't even know that you had to (not) sell. Best I can tell, there's nothing via facebook/twitter/direct emails about either of their new beers coming out. Last time I asked someone about when Pipeworks stuff usually shows up at the Binny's - River North store, the answer was, "Who knows?" I tend to rely on their emails to know when something is new/available.

 

Check your inbox. It showed up in mine about 30 seconds ago.

 

FwB email just dropped...squeaky wheel gets the grease i guess. Thanks P-dubs!

 

Where is Lansman?!?!?!?

 

Already in line for DLD, disrepectin' up the place like mad!

 

anyone stop by binny's on grand and happen to see what was available by PW, specifically the latest releases?

 

You know where I rather spend my money.

 

From the email:

Pretty interesting...looks like PW is movin on up. Wonder where.

very near

 

Gotcha, well cool then. I'll wait 'til Thursday to release'em to the world then.

 

Thanks Vav, you are a gentleman and a scholar.

 

Was finally able to try some Raspberry Truffle Abduction last night....wow! Wish the nearest store selling Pipeworks wasn't 40 minutes from my house. We also blended 1/3 RTA to 2/3 Coffee Abduction and it turned out quite tasty, give it a shot if you want to experiment a bit

 

Life's a Cabernet (off North Ave., just East of Damen) had both of the new releases as of yesterday afternoon. They also had just about the highest prices I've seen for a Pipeworks bomber outside of Andersonville Wine & Spirits. $13.65 after tax for the Cascade Ninja (I would have gone to Binnys if I had the time). It seems they're taking the 'suggested' part of MSRP quite literally!

 

Blood of the Unicorn is the best hoppy imperial red out there in my opinion. Ninja vs. Unicorn is also an amazing DIPA. The only thing stopping me from drinking Pipeworks all the time is that it is only in bombers and $10 bucks a bomber is a bit too pricey.

 

^def this^ love me some Pipeworks but gets to be a little to much for me at times. Especially at $10.99 for some of their IPA/DIPA and other higher abv offerings.

 

Rumor has it they are moving to expand and also "canning" at least that's what a bird is singing. Lets hope it's true.

 

we already know the moving to expand is true as they've talked numerous times about their new brewhouse, but i haven't heard anything about canning. would be really nice as i love lots of pipeworks brews but they're just not cheap enough for regular drinking. NvU out of a can would be so awesome.

 

I also heard they were going to be canning at the new facility.

 

new brewhouse does not equal new facility. new brewhouse is going to allow us to stop brewing 4 times a week double batching... it'll give us some breathing room to focus on all that other stuff we should be doing like answering e-mails. all we are doing with that is replacing our psychobrew 2-4 barrel system with a 10 bbl system.

so what you are saying is like... if we put beer in a can... you would buy the shit out of it? interesting idea ;-)

 

Glaucus, please!
