More Brewing Co (2019)

Basement fridge is pretty much a wasteland of mostly crappy stouts and porters, mostly 12-ounce bottles. Top shelf has fresh cans and some stout cans.

The cellar itself is organized by region and then brewery -- pretty much a few feet of linear space each for Florida and California. And then a ton of Midwest. Fruits and sours get their own space, as does the miscellaneous stuff. "Whalez" are kept in a two-shelf wine chiller at 50 degrees.

Finally, there are also several cases of past-their-prime IPAs and lagers that I save for making beer brats in the summer.

The garage...shit, I don't want to talk about the garage. Pulled a Strawberry Marbles out of an unplugged mini-fridge yesterday. Drank great (little foamy, no explosion -- photo on my untappd and insta) considering it had been out there since Labor Day and had no temperature control at all between Halloween and now.

As I say, I don't have a drinking problem...I have a buying problem. And I've pretty much given away a few hundred "why do I have this?" bottles in the past few years.

 

Was anyone at More Friday afternoon when Shaun cracked BA Henna Marshmallow?

 

I was there shortly before and got a few ounces poured from the bottling line. Sweet vanilla for days; I liked it more than Vanilla Caviar.

 

So release... this weekend? Next weekend? Tomorrow?

 

More will sell no beer before it's time.

In this case, time for QC to check out. So likely MoRE than a week, less than a month.

 

I see what you did there.

So, what's the speculation on method of release this time? Lottery (ala Mehndi), rando week day online sale, Prairie Path Lord of the Flies scenario, something not tried yet?

 

Weekday drop, Mikerphone style, leaving all of us scrambling to get not only us out of work but also our 3 mules/bums out of work and bed.

 

How was the barrel ?

 

It didn't beat me over the head but definitely present.

Possibly two new locations?

 

Yes.

 

Two more Mores? Probably good to have back up locations if you are constantly packaging improved explosive fruit beers.

 

You'd think with all of the wrongful death lawsuits they'd be broke by now!

 

Double Dusty cans tomorrow

 

Wow, just so happens I'll be rolling through Villa Park, Illinois at 11am on a weekday. /s

 

Can't wait to hear how many morons . . . er . . . "fans of beer" will be standing in line in 5-degree weather tomorrow for this.

 

Hows the line? Think it will last to later in the day?

 

I’ll answer my own question. Cashier said there was a minimal line. Just stopped in a grabbed a couple 4 packs. Plenty left.

 

Grabbed 3 4-packs at the bar on the way home today (4pm). No line. Never had an issue with lines at More. Why are people salty about this?

 

Throw in a Marble, Frooted or Henna release and it’s a different story. I love being able to show up late on a Friday or Saturday and walk in an out with cans but it all depends on the beer being released.
