Barrel Aged Abraxas Release 2014

one winner and one loser in my house. Wooot. I'll take 1-2 anytime

 

not one of the 37 emails i entered won..


...kidding. but really, 0-3

 

Still waiting on an email, anyone else waiting?

 

I'm still waiting as well.

 

Still waiting here..

 

I sadly did not win, nor do I know anyone who did. I do, however, have someone in St. Louis that could serve as a proxy, in case anyone won multiple bottles and didn't need all of their lottery wins !

 

Check the junk folder. That's where I found my email.

 

Per.Twitter, if no email received email info@perennialbeer.com

 

I struck out and so did a few friends. I'm hoping that my girlfriend won.

 

I know of at least 30 ppl that struck out.... Looks like another year of BA Abraxas being liquid gold in the beer world
Wish I lived by a liquor superstore so I could have pre registered....

 

I've heard from about 20 friends, all lottery losers. Any idea what the bottle count for the lottery was?

 

For anyone that entered and didn't get a response, did you contact them and have any luck? Just trying to figure out my odds.

 

0/3 on the year for Perennial barrel-aged beers. I had a good feeling about this one, too. If only feelings determined reality.

 

Check your spam folder. I imagine they are getting a lot of inquiries right now so a response probably wouldn't come super fast

 

I'm guessing there were less than 800 bottles and over 20k entries

 

I won one! 1/3 ain't too shabby.

 

Congrats to the people that landed a bottle.... It's easy to get frustrated when you don't win (went through that last night), but in the end I have to remember it's just a beer and life goes on! Cheers!

 

Yes, I replied at about 5:30 last night and got a response back pretty quickly. My wife emailed after 6PM and no response yet. I'm thinking at some point today she will get one...I hope

 

No luck here. 0 for 1.

 

0 for 2 in my household (me & the wife)

 

Is this going to be on tap there this weekend?

 

I called Perennial today. They said they will be doing an announcement tomorrow on facebook, twitter, etc... about their plans for having BA Abraxas on tap for the release.

 

Anyone that was at the line share for BA Abraxas reservations, especially peeps at the front of the line, I will be coming down again this Saturday for the BA Abraxas release. Will Perennial allow another bottle share for the release this weekend? We will gladly bring down more Iowa goodies.

Also, if any of you remember hanging out with Vincent, hit me up so we can reminisce about the BA Abraxas reservation line share!

 

Anyone know when this will be on tap on Saturday?

 

I was told it'll be on tap at noon and likely won't last long. I'll be getting there early. Bringing a bottle of Sosus in case there's any share going on.

 

What would you expect 'not long' to be. I was planing on getting there around noon on Saturday, but if it wont last long after that I would be scared that I would miss it in a wait.

Anyone have an expectation as to what kind of, if any, wait times there will be?

 

Perennial hasn't said how much they will tap, so no idea if this is a 1/2bbl, 1/6bbl, one keg, two kegs, etc. Trying to predict anything is pretty much impossible. They try their best to take care of everyone so I'd say chances are probably good for getting some if you're there at noon, but don't be disappointed if you don't get any.

 

I was hoping they would tap some tonight.

 

Spoke with someone at the brewery last night and he said they had plenty for Saturday.

 

Goodie Goodie.

 

I'm just going by what the person said in the email. I didnt want to ask much else aside from time cause I'd assume theyre being bother enough already with everything.

 

They sold some BA Abraxas last night at Perennial. 2 bottle limit. Great way to reward locals.

This may deserve its own thread but... Side Project Saison du Fermier was also released. 4 bottle limit.

 

Yea, I have to say, perennial really seems to take care of the locals. With their multiple local options for reservations and the random releases. Seems like they are doing it right, despite me being sad i'm not local.

And are you sure about the 4 bottle Fermier limit? they tweeted that they would establish a limit tomorrow mornin.

 

When I was there around 6:45 the limit for BA Abraxas was one bottle per person. Cory was allowing people to buy upto 12 bottles of Fermier. $20 each.

 

Sorry about that. You are correct. I just assumed that was the limit because that was how many my friends bought.

 

I was not prepared to stand in line tomorrow

 

Welcome to craft beer. Please enjoy your stay.

 

I was perfectly happy picking up my one bottle of Abraxas at my leisure, now it is going to be a zoo

 

How were things today in comparison to the Coffee Abraxas release? Trying to figure out how early to get there.

 

ISO: Saison du Fermier. I live reasonably close to St. Louis (just over an hour away), but unfortunately due to work I won't be able to drive over there tomorrow. If anybody would be willing to pick me up a bottle, let me know what I could do to make it worth your while.
