    Awesome party as usual. Vanilla might be my favorite Eclipse variant since 2008 Pappy.

    Vanilla...- This was a truly short run. 226 bottles. A tad of draft and that is it. Going forward the party bottle will be showcasing future variants that will go into commercial distribution.

    There is no denying that this one was good and we are pleased with the results.

    I cannot say with any certainty that the may be a little more around Thanksgiving. No promises...

    This is terrible to hear, especially with all your hospitality for the two eclipse events, people suck.
    If this doesn't get resolved please let me know and maybe I can help to find some replacements. See you next Friday in LA!
    Thanks again for the awesome events Todd!!

    Yes, still a bit fuzzy thought wise. We didn't not produce a lot of Vanilla. Only 226 bottles and a few kegs. The word of mouth thing lit up the internet and we have lots of requests. Technically we are out. There might be 5 gallons of it but impossible to handle even 1-2 requests. I am going to check with the very little bit of Eclipse that remains and Base beer and see what might be done for a little more. If something comes up it would be around Christmas.

    I hope that makes a little more sense.

    is there any way I can buy some bottles of the variants that weren't available for futures and have them shipped to a trustee? I'd drive up myself but I'm out of the country until February...

    Is it officially all gone now or are there a few stragglers?

    Had some one steal my bottle of Cigar City Cucumber Saison too. It was super late and I didn't need to drink anymore but still weak.

    email [email protected] Alicia will help but it puts your shipping date to the back of the line.
