And it's gone...

Spoke to someone at the brewpub this morning - he said they were down to ~2 dozen bottles on hand around opening time, but that there was apparently a whole pallet more offsite that was supposed to make its way to the pub tomorrow.

 

I think Beat will be year round now. It just keeps going and going and going and...

 

They were out this afternoon, though -- friend asked for one and was told there weren't any. Still, he's bringing me a growler of Benediction, so we're good.

 

I wonder if they will hold some back to drink on-premesis.

 

I still think they'll sell out the first day.

 

I was at the brewery last night and grabbed my allotment of 6...it's definitely at the brewery STILL...

Cheers!

 

Well, it's finally disappeared from the website bottle list. I'm really gonna miss those bottle-mule threads.

 

Yep it is really gone now.

 

Nooooooooooooo

 

Consolation prize: Fresh batch of Row 2 on tap! Filling my growler today.

 

Try the new batch of RR IPA. They have been playing with the recipe lately and it is very good.

 

man i really wish i made another trip now that its all gone haha. owell, look forward to the next release. i have a feeling it will hit distro next time if its the same amount

 

Super OT, but sweet avatar. People are starting to step up their game around here, might be time for a switch.

 

i made it for an lif, didnt win so i decided to use it myself haha. maybe i should put beatification in his hand instead of a king henry? i made a killer bravheart one if you wanna use it.

Speaking of King Henry and Beats, these should be at the next tasting...

 

Why would it hit distribution though if they can sell out of it at the brewery and make all the money themselves? I just hope next time they keg a bunch of it and have it at the brewery for a month or something like that.

 

kegs would be awesome!

as far as distro, thats just a guess. i doubt they made all that much more. its a much less a hassle to send it into distro and collect th cash right? they arent hurtin for business at the brewpub thats for sure.

 

True that they aren't hurting for business, but it's better to have all sales go through the brew pub since that increases the chances of people buying food or other things while they're picking up bottles.

And they may not want to distribute it so we don't see the nonsense that comes along with special, rarer releases when they are released in bottle shops.
