Abnormal Beer Co.

600. Shopify is a legit server.

 

That guy was saying that only 1 out of 6 friends managed to purchase bottles before they sold out, not that 1 guy bought 6 bottles.

 

Here are the analytics so far...
- 600 bottles
- All in carts less than 30 seconds
- All sales completed in 5 minutes except for 2 that were 10 minutes later
- 210 individual sales
- 35,000+ page views (including refreshes)

 

Those are useful analytics. Thanks. Since it is on tap on Saturday, do you mind setting expectations for how much you will have?

 

Truth, I am pro at burrito and beer handling. There is a reason why a buddy and I started #rigosmith.

Hehe, but I also didn't get all the bottles. I did get my allotment though and will be more than happy to crack them with those that ask and struck out.

 

This is where the rest of the sixtels are going:
- 2 for Saturday (5 oz tasters only)
- 2 for The Bruery Anniversary May 14th
- 1 for a dinner at Haven Gastropub
- 1 for I forgot where. But I know it's reserved for something.

 

Looks like we found one spot where a line will form at the Bruery Anniversary.

 

Just giving you shit, buddy.
I know I'm 10 minutes out of San Diego County (haha), but you guys are always welcome at our shares or whenever!

 

I love the transparency. Missed out on bottles but hopefully I'll try it at the Bruery Anniversary.

 

Quite the beer lineup for the anniversary party.

Had me at NitroNilla Speedway... *drools

 

Having not been to the tasting room yet, can anyone confirm if there are TV's? Looking to watch some NY Rangers playoff hockey while @Peb4peb drinks his face off.

 

There are a number of TVs in the bar area and I can recall seeing hockey there on more than one occasion.

I'm not confident in the Rangers' chances this year but I'd love to see them make a deep run. King Henrik needs a Cup.

 

Sorry felllas, kings got the cup this year!

 

So now it's called "Very Vanilla Speedway" and not on nitro. However, this is the most vanilla they ever put in a speedway, double from the Very Vanilla SS that was in their tasting room.

 

Aw... well... Very Vanilla Speedway is still great... Nitro would have been unbelievable though... Thanks for the info! @HeyBeerMe

 

Got the anniversary around 10, ordered my beers, and got out before it got crazy. Everything was fantastic on tap, but my buddy and I paid cash and were both short changed. I guess they just guessed what we were going to tip the change?

 

Or maybe people make mistakes from time to time and it wasn't some nefarious plot to steal your money?

 

Really happy for these guys and for today's successful event, but it was/is an absolute shit show. Waited in line to get in, walked in, turned, and walked out. It's mayhem in there. Crying babies galore and zero line organization.

In any case, love their beer, and hopefully future anniversary parties are run a little differently. But then again, maybe this works best for everyone. Just seemed overwhelming to me.

 

Was it busy, yes absolutely... but overwhelming?....not really. I came at 1pm, waited in line for maybe 20 minutes for a few tasters and then shared a table with some really nice people. They had music and with all the noise I'm not sure how you could have heard a crying baby anyways. O well more beer for everyone else.....
