BA Three Floyds - Releases and Updates

You know, last year I was able to justify the trip for BA Behemoth because 3 Floyds was still somewhat hard to find in Chicago and the to-go list was huge. BA Behemoth, Black Flame, Skull'Ole, fresh Dreadnaught, Space Station Middle Finger, etc... I'm not sure if the kiosk list has been half as interesting since.

 

Has anyone noticed signs of infection in 2015 Conquistador de la Muerte? I just opened mine and it had more carbonation than I would have thought and a bit of a sour twang. It could be a combination of the pepper and knowing that 2014 was, but just wanted to see if anyone else noticed this.

 

I had an infected '14, bought a '15 anyway as I was sure it couldn't happen yet again. It actually was really good. Probably not $35 good, but good nonetheless. No signs of infection.

 

I didn't come across anything indicating infections in '15 bottles on BA or otherwise, but pleny of '14 infection talk. I'll probably open my '15 very soon and I'll let you know.

 

Long time reader, first time poster.

Was at FFF today, and because I'm a fish, I caved and bought a BA Behemoth. Just wanted to let you guys know there's probably a good amount left as I got #391 and it was out of ~893 or so. So easily a lot left unless they don't distribute it all (which I guess is possible, but then again maybe what they hold is not numbered).

Safe to say the price tag seems to be a deterrent for some.

 

I don't think they hand them out in order, just FYI. There is probably still plenty left though.

 

Ah ok, didn't realize the numbers were random. Thanks for the info.

 

FWIW, BA Behemoth is off the online carry out list. Appears approx 900 bottles sold in 7 days.

 

I can confirm that at 11 am today, there is no more BA Behemoth, bottle or draft.

 

Does FFF make Zombie Dust available on Tuesdays usually? I've seen it on their brew-to-go list on Tuesday and Wednesday for a few weeks in a row and all of a sudden they don't have it today.

I feel like they know when I'm coming on Tuesdays and/or Wednesdays and then decide, 'OK, Eddie is here... No ZD today then.'

Maybe after I leave.

 

it's a total crapshoot. some weeks you'll see it on those days, others you won't. typically they don't release it on weekends or Mondays. you tend to see it a lot on (but not every) Friday mornings after one (or none) of Tuesday/Wed/Thurs.
