Alchemist Tent Sale

I am not that guy, but I am sure that guy is out there.

 

Weather gonna be hell

 

40 degrees and "a little rain". Last sale was worse.

 

Sweatshirt weather. Hope they're serving ice coffees.

I've done 90+ deg and 4 hour down pour this will be like bora bora

all worth it when your dry and crack that 1st can psssssssssss hop gas

 

Two hours ain't shit.

 

If I get there around 1 is there still a chance to get beers from the tent sale!

 

I doubt anyone arrivin after 12:30 got beer. Seemed to be well over 500 by 12. Hope you made out okay.

 

Got there at 12:15 and was literally the next person in line when they ran out of beer. Tried to buy even just a 4 pack off people in the park lot who had obviously gone through twice already. Those who didn't ignore me outright said "sorry, can't help you." IT sucks to get there 45 mins before the advertised start time of 1 pm and see so many people get double their allotments. Oh well, it's only beer.

 

It started at 12:15 dude. I didn't see anyone jumping back in line. I don't think many people were jumping in ahead of you at 12:15 on second trip through. Sorry you got shut out though.

 

There were people in line at least 20 people in front of me who had all their cases with them still from their first trip through. The 2 guys in front of me in line who got the last case loaded it into their trunk that already had several cases in it. It is what it is, first world problems.

 

Shocking, within one to two minutes the first twenty people must've been served and hopped back in line. I was about half way back and didnt see any of this transpire.

 

I'm happy I'm up here and drinking heady and the snow is beautiful, that's all I can ask.. Those people who buy 4 cases can rot. Gonna shred the slopes tomorrow!

Cheers BA!

 

30 degree with wet snow since probably 8-9am. Had breakfast at Maxi's (delish) and showed up to the sale at 1140. We were about 250? Total guesstimate. At 12:15 they announced they would start because they were close to 500. i did feel for the people showing up at 1 but we all know the current VT 'scene' now and if you ain't an hour early, you ain't gettin what you want. Either way, a totally painless event with zero drama. I look forward to more of these.

 

I didn't even try to get 2 cases and I was in the top 60

I was shocked at the turn out,

in the downpour there wasn't that many people

I've only missed the first tent sale and that was by far the most people that early yet IMO

this must speak volumes of the luscious can't wait to try it 11%

I saw people with 2 cases but it was the ones that dragged the wife along

that ride was fun road skiing

but I am a focal banger addict hell, high water, snowy I89 etc........

 

Luscious remains as a "sentimental" offering from the Alchemist brewpub days. I did not see any sloppy seconds while I was there. They constantly counted the line to keep track of 86ing. Glad I arrived at 11:45. Virtually painless and nice to see some locals who feel the same way about Luscious. Drank my last flood bottle of it on the 8/28 Irene anniversary this past August thinking that was the end of it. Glad to be mistaken.

 

Same here. I was very close to the front of the line but didn't even bother trying to get a second case since the line was so massive.

I've been to a handful of their truck sales and this was probably the most people I've seen in line, which is shocking when taking into account the weather and the other beer events happening in New England today.

 

Are there any plans to sell these beers at any place other than truck sales? Sorry if this has been asked and answered.

 

No apologies required, no other retail sales for thsese beers.

 

Thanks, AJ....do you think they ever will?
