    Wow, this was far worse than I expected. Glad I was in VT on Resolute day! Hopefully none of my awesome Hburg friends got shut out due to the few inconsiderate folks in the front of the line. I'm sure Adam and Three Bro's didn't expect this and would like nothing more than to go back and fix it. Hopefully future releases will go more smoothly. Also, I heard that Cocoa version killed! If any of my Hburg or RVA friends got one and would like to crack it sometime, I'd be more than happy to try it. You know I'll bring the heat :slight_smile:

    I don't even wanna get this rolling but now there are whispers of carbonation issues with variant bottles. Has been reported by multiple sources now......

    I cracked a set with some out of town friends last night and had zero issues. They were all fantastic.

    Wouldn't wish quality issues on anyone, but I feel like that even the thought of them having issues would be a good enough reason why you wouldn't buy 3-4k without ever having tried them and the brewery being a relatively new player.. that's a gamble!

    Ya know the timing of this is perfect ... I was always wondering about this brew as 3 Brothers has a few bottles in NOVA and I have asked every store I have been to that carries this beer if they have or when the heck it shows up? It is in the system at Total Wine, but judging from the craze of this release I am guessing there won't be a bottle showing up at a store anytime soon :wink:

    That and the fact hundreds allegedly went to one guy :grinning:

    Atremenous (?) I managed to try and was impressed even though wild and stout is normally a combination that makes me cringe.

    Onward! !!

    I don't know about them but I made the hike and got shut out on the variants (got there shortly after 9am) :stuck_out_tongue: Whatever, I drove down to Redbeard after since it was going to take at least another hour to get a sip of draft beer and had a far better experience there :slight_smile:

    Due to brewery upgrades, there wasn't enough floor space to have as big of a release. Only 1600 bottles of Resolute bottled as singles (not including bottles that went with variants) Therefore they chose not to distribute this run.

    Variants hand-numbered to 150, regular to 2,500? Are they dated?

    We stopped by Redbeard at noon Saturday, and were glad we did. I was pretty impressed with everying he had, and walked away with a 32oz growler of 12mo VW Moriarty. Next Friday should be fun, hope I can make it back up.

    the variants (at least) were bottle conditioned. but since they were only bottled maybe a week prior to release they hadn't carbed yet. just sit on them in warm storage for a bit and they should carb up fine.
