Barrel Aged Abraxas Release 2014

Are you just asking for the info? Because nothing has been announced yet

 

I believe this belongs in the Midwest thread since it takes place in St. Louis. [Mod edit: thread has been moved] I'd wait til we have more info though, otherwise this thread will turn into a speculation shit storm.

 

I was sitting in a bar in Cleveland and surprisingly the 2 people next to me were talking about this. One guy said to the other they heard it's going to be the same day as dark lord day this year. Other guy said that was ridiculous. He heard it was really going to be the same day as Short's anniversary party this year.

Personally, I think these guys were both idiots. I mean, who in Cleveland knows what's going on in St. Louis anyway?

 

I heard its all infected anyway

 

I was lucky enough to talk to a Perennial brewer at FOBAB. He said (back in November) that they just put the beer into barrels. Furthermore, he continued to say that it takes roughly 8 months to develop in the barrels. He said they didn't anticipate the massive success and wasn't ready to produce it so soon.

I would look for a summer release.

It will be done by lottery

 

Can you link me?

 

Its going to have a variety of release methods I believe. Either way they have been gauging the past releases with BA 17 and BA Sump to better ensure a smooth BA Abraxas release, I wouldn't worry.

 

Getinked, after you posted this response I went back to look...I guess I did'nt get it off the website...I think it came from beerservedrare.com My bad on that one

 

Awww no worries. Yeah I hadnt seen anything officially published yet. Hopefully we can keep this thread active. I'll check with my contacts and get back to it.

 

Considering I know 10+ people who struck out on the BA Sump lottery, BA Abraxas will be even harder to get. 1 winner for 50 losers? Maybe more?

 

I know 10 also, I think its more like a 1/100 chance depending on bottle amount

 

Each person will probably be more likely to win the Powerball than to win the opportunity to buy a BA Abraxas.

 

If people just signed themselves up and not family/friends odds would be much better. Though I guess its no different than beinging mules with you to a release

 

Why did I not think of this...

 

BA 17 was 2 bottle limit, BA Sump was a 1 bottle limit. I would guess that BA Abraxas would be a 1 bottle limit in a lottery.

 

FRUSTRATING!!! I've tried to sign up for their mailing list & while I get a message that a confirmation email will be sent, it never is...I've tried using both email addresses...tried calling the brewery...tried emailing them. FRUSTRATING!!!
