Phase Three Brewing (2019)

That was Dark Lord Day weekend though. That’s why I’m not sure if we’ll have a Sunday pattern or not

 

Also I get that they want to stay loyal to the bottle shops they distribute to but this is not an efficient way to do the releases. How about doing the release at LZ or do an online lottery and you pick up your bottle at LZ? I figure this will probably stay this way until they get their own place but once the BA versions start, I would have to think they will go another route or it’s going to be a complete shit show

 

haha I feel honored... but no that's not me. He's completely right though. Is what it is. Congrats to friends and family of I&G employees. Just drink the beer at least, don't flip it on facebook in the parking lot and I'll be fine with it.

 

You ... kind of ... answered your own question ... in your first sentence?

 

How was the Curvature b1 info released? Did they reveal the times/locations at the exact time they went on sale at the retail stores? Or was it revealed an hour or two before they went on sale as little heads up?

 

It was right when it was released. I remember since I nearly got into 5 car accidents driving to Fischman's.

 

Probably will be lines at the same locations b1 was released at. which would make sense.

 

So much for a conversation starter for the Beer Advocate debate of how the release should be handled. Come on where’s all the complainers?! Is everyone worn out from the MORE thread haha.

 

They made it very clear that they are rotating stores for these releases...so in theory, NONE of the stores that got batch 1 will get batch 2.

 

So you're kind of F****** if you're not in the Chicagoland area on Sunday (or whenever the day may be).

 

Correct, you really won't have a shot.

 

the good thing is it’s just beer, and Shawn can make more of it

 

But we're all in Chicagoland....oh, sorry.

 

So this is a win for people chasing the lone distro van?

 

My guess is the two definite drops will still be Beer Cellar and Crafted....just based on the personal relationships Shawn has with individuals at both those spots. The others are up in the air. Well see if its Saturday or Sunday

 

Warehouse as well then.

 

Or people in the right Facebook groups. I know last time Crafted sent out a message to all of their members about when it's coming in/going on sale. I'm sure those people also told friends, which is why the line at Crafted was so long for a "secret release".

Otherwise, yes. Sit in the LZB parking lot and follow the van when it leaves.

 

Thinking tomorrow morning drop.....thoughts?

 

Not sure if they did their drop super early or the night before. So you’d need to do a stakeout haha
