Bottle Logic Brewing Thread

Basically what i am getting at is, if BOTTLE LOGIC was going to state there were 120 tickets that were going for public sale, and then gave the tickets away to friends and family, they should just only invite the homies that deserve the tickets. Not state to the genereal public misleading info. If there were reamining tickets, just do a lotto. Save yourself the trouble of pissing people off (see FB).

 

People will always complain, can't please everyone.

 

I am not speaking from an entitlement persepective. They advertised one thing to their customers and did something else...I am speaking on operating a business perspective. If you walked into a Burger King that advertised a $1 whopper, and then they charge you $2.95....Or if a car dealership said they had this many of a certain model and they in fact did not, there would be a problem.

EDIT: and yeah, less info the better. Social Media gives businesses a great platform to market and advertise, but that also puts info in writing and something angry people on FB can reference haha

 

Aint that the truth

 

So who were the chosen ones and got tickets?

 

Can you link me to where they said 120 tickets would be on sale at noon?

 

Didn't bother trying to get tickets here. Neither the dinner nor the price appealed to me. Now, a breakfast burrito from Pepe's followed by 4oz of FO for dessert at the tasting room on the other hand? That's something I can get with. Hope to make that happen soon enough.

 

The listing on Eventbrite does say 60 tickets for each session are available but it does NOT state 120 (60 and 60) being sold to the public.

 

Sorry if it come off as lazy to not link the social media announcements etc and comments from Bottle Logic (many of which are now deleted and edited). But the eventbrite link states 60 tickets available to 2 different sessions (120 tickets). Sale starts 12pm 6/5.

 

Sorry for wandering in, and I DID go back and try and find the info and read more pages of this thread then I ever care to...

Leche Borracho: can someone tell me the release details. How many per person and cost per bottle? Or was it all sent through distro?

*I had one and need more and want to offer appropriately to get response.
**Sorry for the interruption and I know out-of-region'ers asking release details can be annoying.

 

I don't see it as they were advertising the amount of tickets, but read it as them advertising the amount of seats/capacity that would be at each sitting. And considering that the Darkstar November dinner was about 70 seats, including friends/family, they did a good effort in making sure you weren't "paying $2.95 for that $1 burger"

They knew this one was going to be bigger, and they tried to do so. The fact that they just hosted a 910+ day long blending party should have provided good will.



Frankly, I'm in the boat that thinks they shouldn't/don't have to go to the level of selling a case limit to people at the party. Does anyone really need that much FO? If anything, lowering the amount folks have access to would also curb the reselling/trade value extortion. It also muddles what the real purpose of the dinner is - to pair FO and other of theirs beer with the food and see what they can come up with. I think folks would still be pleased if it was some bottles, like a 6 limit per person thing. But you wouldn't have folks who are basically seeing it as a means to get a case of FO for trade/black market fodder.

 

It was like $23 and saw a little distro to the lucky places around the area

 

They made 2 session to accommodate more people knowing that they were going to have some earmarked for their employees/volunteers etc.. and also that the reason they decided to just do the tickets for the previously mentioned people online was to streamline things and make it easy to keep track of those tickets.

You either got in or you didnt, what is the point of complaining? Do people expect Bottle Logic to give them tickets because they are complaining?

 

No brewery release?

*Sorry, I'll leave shortly!

 

It was online, no proxy sale on BPT with a week long pick up window. The "limited" distribution ALWAYS happens to BL beers regardless of rarity because they like to maintain those relationships with the first few accounts that have supported them from way back when.

I would still consider offering something else that is brewery release only would land it. I can only imagine the bottle count (I swear it was somewhere in this thread or posted somewhere) to be in the 4000 range.

 

You had to buy them online and was available to pick up from the brewery only before it saw a very limited amount go to distro.

 

So BL asked everyone to agree not to resell the bottles when they went through the checkout process?

 

i think it would be awesome if someone (like the guy from Craft Beer Kings) bought tickets for a bunch of Home Depot mule guys, and brought them to the dinner. if only because then they'd get to enjoy a good meal

 

This is spot on...

 

I'm with you here for sure. I passed on trying for tickets because I don't like seafood and don't need a case but giving a case of a beer this hyped to a single person is pretty nuts and I can't see any reason for it. I'd be absolutely shocked if any single person attending actually drank their whole allotment. I don't want to get into the slippery slope of if people are hooking up friends at cost or whatever... but the bottom line is that size allocation encourages black market distribution.

If people could buy 6 ea that would still sell out in 3 seconds PLUS they would have 240 more three-bottle allocations to sell in the public sale.

It's their business, they can run it their way. I always prefer if a brewery makes equitable release parameters that allow the most amount of supporters to access the beer.

See y'all in the public sale.
