BA Silhouette Pre-Sale

Damn they cut the limit in half

 

No longer a a semi secret release as for the last 2 years or in the past this BA brew is a Supreme BA IS that will/is highly sought after

 

What is the price point?

 

I bought my ticket/four bottles lazily, about two weeks after they were put online last year. Anybody want to bet the over under in days/hours the tickets sell out this year?

 

$16 per bottle, if purchased at the tap room - add $1.87 per, if bought online
$5 event ticket, if purchased at the tap room - add $1.27 per, if bought online

500 tickets available for bottles
300 tickets available for the event

 

Wasn't last year about 400 tickets? I guess the bonus about cutting the limit is more people will have a chance to get some... like my entire family and all my friends.

I say they last a few days. Probably won't be weeks like last year.

 

Don't think you can proxy though (I could be wrong), so you may need to pack up your family & friends, and haul them along for the ride.

 

I will just have to rent a party bus then!

I kind of hope they do what Indeed did with Rum King this year and just make a crap ton more so I don't have to have a huge debate with myself if I should open a bottle or not.

 

What happens at the event other than the ability to buy a bottle?

 

You drink beer, most importantly BA Silhouette. Last year they had BA Silhouette on nitro too, which I think the general consensus was the regular was better, sounded like the nitro masked a lot of the ba flavor.

 

Yeah. $5 pours of BA Silhouette are the best. Bummed about the lower bottle count, But totally for their idea of spreading the wealth. Just need to drink more on tap at the event !

 

Shit was phenomenal off the tap line back in the brewery.
For some reason it tasted much better than the line at the bar.

Probably would've never got my ass off the stool, but someone told us that the beer back there was better.
Thanks a ton Claire - you were a true hero that day! :-)

 

Agree, the nitro wasn't nearly as good. Bummed the bottle count is cut in half this year but I'm sure they are trying to share the wealth.

 

I'm bummed about the bottle limit going to 2 bottles too. I'm not into mules so I would just get 2 bottles. I'm debating if I want to drive out to Stillwater for 2 bottles when I still have several bottles left from 2012 & 2013. At least Lift Bridge allows you to pick up the bottles a few weeks after the go on sale date so I don't need to rush.

 

Apparently, sheep are your thing.

 

anyone know If I can get a proxy to pick up my bottles?

 

I don't believe they were allowed last year. but not 100%

 

Yeah I can't remember if they carded when showing your ticket to match them up. I know they carded at the door for age verification, but I think they just scanned tickets and handed you your bottles.

Could be totally different this year though. Best bet would be to call or reach out to them via FB or email for clarification.

 

I thought they checked ID then highlighted/crossed your name off, but that was a year and about 800 some beers ago, so yeah, Id suggest either emailing them or FB'ing them.
