Kane Brewing (December 2015)

The ID check was crazy thorough. If someone got through with mules they did an amazing job of doing it. The mules still had to get through to the website at noon just like anyone else. There's always the chance of mules but you're kidding yourself if you don't think this limited the amount.

 

It would be an incredible joke if they switched it up.

 

As frustrating as it is to see someone bragging about 24 bottles, I think this method severely limited muling, had the same guy been waiting in line he could have had as many people as he wanted with him - or worse, a group of people joining him 5 minutes before the sale of bottles and cutting the line. I'm also glad that Kane decided against a line for bottles today and instead raffled the additional sets. The release was seamless. Most people were in and out by 11:30am. Hopefully if there are leftover sets from no-shows then they will pull names from the original email list for the draw.

 

Totally agree - What a pleasure it was. Of course, those who weren't able to get in on the presale would disagree. It was so stress free

 

This was the best run limited beer release I've ever been a part of. I know that a lot of people unfortunately got shut out but everything went very smoothly. As mentioned above, the ID/ticket check was very thorough but the long line still moved quickly. You could get in and out in an hour if you were in a hurry. No camping overnight, no people drinking on their property when they were told not to and it was almost impossible to mule/proxy. Service at the growler filling stations and merchandise was great. This was the best possible way to handle this release. The only minor complaint I could think of would be no sampling but I understand why they went that route. Congratulations to Kane on the response and amazing job you did today! Good luck to all of those who entered the raffle.

 

Got to Kane at 3:30 picked up my bottles , filled my empty growlers and finally got a Kane bottle opener .. Took about 10 minutes

 

And this is why you do ticketed releases. In and out was spot on today.

 

Thanks for a great experience today Kane. Only downside was I wanted to get at ANTEAD shirt but supposed to be coming next week. Love the hop lab IIIPA growler I picked up as well

 

The guy posting 24 bottles is just another example of the rampant assholery taking over these bottle releases. That being said, can't wait to go down to Kane next weekend when I'm free to grab some Triple IPA. Loved it last time they released it.

 

No reviews of the beers in this thread yet??

 

Stopped by around 4:00 p.m. to pick up my bottles and there were only a few other people there. Got the bottles and a growler of Triple IPA (truly amazing stuff - right up there with AGE, which is one of my all-time favorites; hope we'll see the Kane Triple IPA in a can one day!), and was out in minutes.

 

Also got there around 3pm. In and out in minutes with my 4 ANTEAD bottles and a growler of Hop Lab Triple IPA. As well run an event as humanly possible given the demand for these beers. And those crying and complaining about Kane doing this as a BPT event need to get a life.

 

People keep saying the triple IPA is better than "AGE." Forgive my ignorance, but what does AGE stand for?

 

Probably All Green Everything from Other Half

 

All Green Everything by Other Half

 

So what if he got 24 bottles? He had to get them the hard way. Stop crying. There is nothing else Kane could have done. Every release thread is so full of grown dudes bemoaning the guy that got more then them. Life is long and unfair.

 

Stopped yesterday to fill growlers and get some merch....no ANTEAD unfortunately. Was in and out in 15 minutes!

Anxious to try the Triple IPA. Have some AGE as well, although I love AGE with a few weeks on it.

 

Grabbed a growler of the Hop Lab Triple IPA as well when I picked up my ANTEAD yesterday.

Cracked it last night. It was excellent.

Better than AGE? I don't know. I'd have to do a side to side. Though Kane's triple seemed a tad hotter to me.

Either way, it's definitely in the same league if nothing else. Absolutely worth seeking out if you like the style.

 

He said he was trolling and that the other 2 allotments weren't his but the friends we went with allotments...still a douche move.

 

you 100% on this? I've heard white is coconut and some say vanilla. haven't been able to get a clear answer yet.
