New Fulton Barleywine - Patience

Apparently my ABR pallet can't be trusted. Imagine that.

After buying a few bottles and opening one, I thought this was good but nothing special. I hope they put some in a barrel.

 

I thought it was decent, I had a pour on Saturday and picked up a few bottles. I found it to be pretty hot at this point (and at 13% I suppose it should be). Hoping it will mellow with some age.

 

It was served right around freezing, I would normally drink a bwine around 60.

 

Yah maybe it just wasn't served right. I just got a taster to see if I liked it before buying bottles. Give my see Worthy Adversary instead. Maybe the bottles will age well but it wasn't my time to take the test. Too many good beers out there.

 

A Brewery should serve their beers at the temp they want you do drink it. It's almost like serving an IPA or IIPA warm. I ended up getting kicked out of there for no reason. They didn't even give me a reason and told me I was welcome back anytime. They said my beers were on them (I had 2). Not sure what the deal was. I went all the way out there for their release and they kicked me out for nothing as far as I could tell. Maybe I was chatting up the people at the bar too much. They didn't seem to mind. Really a bad experience there. Not going back there again. Even the guy outside never told me why I was booted (bouncer). Never argued with anybody. I had no idea. I was a perfectly nice guy and had only had a couple beers. Not a good way to build loyalty.

 

Only thing I can think of was I told a couple people by me that I didn't care for Patience?!!! Maybe that's why they kicked me out. His exact words were, "You're going to have to leave." Nothing more and I didn't question it because I was out of there pretty soon anyway. I was going to buy some of their tulips. Just didn't get the whole thing.

 

Maybe it was a time traveler from the future saving you (and all humanity?) from certain disaster?

 

You never know.... It was just weird.

 

Businesses don't kick out paying customers for zero reason. Might want to think back a little harder on what you were doing...been there many times before Twins games & the staff/brewers have always been awesome, even when it's really busy. If you don't go back I'll go back twice as much to make up for it.

 

Think what you want. I did nothing except maybe tell the people around me that Patience sucked. Go ahead and go back twice. I'll buy a bottle of Worthy Adversary at the store once in a while. They were packed.

 

I was gonna buy some goblets and likely some Worthy. They didn't even tell me what I did. I have absolutely no idea. Maybe they will chime in and tell us what I did. Absolutely nothing except maybe said their beer sucked to a couple of people and then the guy said I had to go. Never gave a reason, was not out of line, just told me I had to go. I was bullshitting with the people around me having fun. Not causing any trouble but think what you want. I'll just buy better beer and support someone else. Ironically I liked their IPA and was drinking one. Asked for another and said I had to go. Never gave me a reason. There were people there who know me. I bet they would say I didn't do anything. Don't know their names but a nice Asian guy I bought some beer off of Craiglist who sells tons on there. Ask him. I'm sure you have met him. Selling to try to get a wedding ring. I didn't even smack anybody -- had no reason to be mad.

 

You know except for telling people that the product the business was selling sucked, they had no reason to kick you out :eyeroll

Yeah going to a business and telling people there that they are serving a bad product will get you walked out. Maybe don't do that in the future.

 

Yah cause I was yelling it out as loud as I can. I simply told a couple people beside me that I wanted to get my allocation until I tasted it. I'm sure millions of people heard it. There were only a couple hundred people in there.

 

Never said they weren't nice. That was the bizarre thing. They didn't have anything to be pissed about. Neither did I. I was just chilling having fun and they told me I had to leave. No reason was given.

 

You were probably just being annoying. Were you perhaps talking to a woman you didn't know? Someone who might have mentioned something to a bartender about being annoyed? If that happened, of course they wouldn't tell you why you had to go.

I'm not saying you deserved it, but that's life sometimes. That said, I'd kick you out of this thread if I could.

 

Based on posting history, I'm sure it was you not them.

 

OK... you guys win. You weren't there but you make stupid remarks about things you weren't even there to witness. I guess if that's you're proof that I got kicked out, so be it. As far as women talking to me, I was at the bar first and a couple sat next to me. Myself, her and her husband were having a great conversation about beer but you wouldn't know about that cause you're just pulling shit out of your ass to excuse them. OK by me. Their barley whine still sucked.

 

Perhaps Patience (the beer or the virtue) just isn't for you. I don't know your beer tastes but speaking of the seven heavenly virtues, might I suggest focusing on Humility?

 

Perhaps you would have more fun at a whine bar instead.

 

Did you have any growlers or bottles? When I was there that night they made everyone with growlers and bottles leave at 10pm.
