Bottle Logic 2018 (Q1)

Holy cow completely forgot, got lucky and scored 3.

 

Totally. Honestly, I’ll end up keeping one, probably trade/share the other two.

 

Jam is one of those beers where I can grab my whole allotment and not even think of trading.

 

More volatile than crypto

 

That is usually what I end up doing with bottles of FO. The pickup window for this one encompasses 2 weekends that honestly aren't all that great for me to get up there so only tried to get bottles in case a buddy struck out. Once they let me know they were good, I dropped it from my cart. So getting 1 bottle from a shop that is 5 minutes away >> getting 3 that is minimum 1.5hrs each way....at least this time due to personal schedule.

 

Got some last rites & codello instead, didn't want to bother with a longer commute and fees this time around. Like David said, wait for it on shelves if possible otherwise will enjoy the others.

 

Super disappointing that I forgot about both the Level Up Bottle and the actual sale on this one. The brightside is this just gives me an excuse to head to the brewery a few times while it is on tap.

 

WEEK OF LOGIC
MARCH 18-24

 

Dig that groovy WOL logo on their FB page.

 

can someone explain to me what the Week of Logic is? and the benefits of "leveling up"

Is it mostly awesome stasis taps all week or do guest taps make an appearance? do you level up simply by attending and drinking beer 7 days in a row? does leveling up simply give you early access to 1 of each stasis release or does it give you more?

 

No guest taps. But earns u 1 extra bottle per release. That was last year anyway. With the ramped up production now, it might not be necessary to need to go all week.

 

We’ll be sharing lots of information, including some minor structural changes, in the following weeks!

 

I just want to see more doggos in costume for this year's WoL. I regret not getting a photograph of the pup dressed up as Mr. T.

That missed opportunity has haunted me.

 

I was on my honeymoon last year during Week of Logic so couldn't make it. This will be my first year attending. I've heard it's a shitshow at opening, but that later in the night most of the crowd is gone. Also heard that everything made it through to the night, nothing tapped out during the daytime. Can anyone elaborate? If everything makes it through to the evening, then going later would be ideal for me as I live very close to the taproom.

 

Seven days of experimental beers, as well as classics, being tapped. In previous WOLs, your attendance earned you prizes. Three days was a bottle opener, five days was glassware, and the full week was a growler plus the extra bottle on every Stasis release. It’s a great opportunity to try some really cool beers and hang with friends.

This last year was way more organized and spacious compared to the year prior. Last year, from what I can remember, most beers lasted all day. I wouldn’t say that it was a shitshow at opening per say, it was just significantly more busy. Two years ago was crazy, but this last year’s seemed to move things along nicely, in my opinion. If you live close, it’s probably in your best interest to stop by later to avoid waiting in lines. With increased production, I don’t think it’ll be an issue.

 

Last year the only crazy line days were day 1 with Forces being tapped and the last day with FO and FO Calvados. Lines those days were like 1 hour to get in and 15-20 min for pours. That's during the day. All the other days were pretty chill with anytime walk in and 5-10 min lines. And I think the only beer that kicked before the end of the night all week was Forces and even that lasted till like 10 pm. I think BL was open till midnight everyday last year.

 

I honestly made the membership just because of the "Level Up" design just as much as the guaranteed beers. I was super stoked when we all got the email saying we're getting everything. That was sweet.

This year, I'll definitely be trying to go all out every night. Got really tired last year around Wednesday or so, and started only getting the lighter fare just so I can go home to sleep.

 

Wanted to share that I got maybe jam the radar 30 minutes into the sale. So thankful! Will probably share 1 and drink the rest. Cheers, BL!

 

Your biggest challenge on ALL days will be to find parking ... plan accordingly

 

Uber/Lyft, alleviated the parking issue on busy days.

And you should never EVER park at another local brewery and then Uber/Lyft over....
