Bell's batch 12,000?

They're only up to 11,945. It's actually kinda crazy how fast the tracker is updated though:

"The Bell's Brewery batch number you searched '11945' is a Bell's Oberon Ale and was packaged on April 19th, 2013."

 

That's odd since batch 11935 was packaged yesterday. Batch and date packaged are not the same order.

 

I know for a fact that I did see that the "Batch" series is done, complete, finished. Sad but true.

 

Not sure if the wording completely solves this, but here ya go:


Here is a link that also gives some insight:
Batch 10,000

 

That's for sure...Differences in fermentation time, possibly maturation, brew pub exclusives, etc etc.

 

For some reason I was thinking a batch number "existing" should make it accessible, where as it seems bottling makes the batch accessible.

 

Brew pub exclusives do not count toward the batch numbers. Those are brewed on site at the Eccentric Cafe rather than at the production facility.

 

My favorite response to people I completely disagree with is that they are one of three things:

Stupid
Lying
Delusional

It's gotta be one of them!

Searching Batch Number: 12000

The Bell's Brewery batch number you searched '12000' is a Two Hearted Ale and was packaged on May 7th, 2013.

 

ooh, ISO

 

That pretty well confirms that the '....thousand' series is done.

 

1. Stir shit up by posting half witted comment with no supporting argument.
2. Disappears from the conversation.

I see someone took the first class in the BrohammedAli/BreakingBad/BenBen school of trolling. The second class is a doozy, you will learn how to return to the thread, really turn up the heat and get the thread locked.

 

ISO: fresh batch 12,000

 

Perhaps it's a rouse!

 

I guess the word I was looking for is "ruse". Learned something new today.
