Bottle Logic Brewing Thread - Fall 2016

I thought draft was better than bottle, and both were a little underwhelming considering what people are comparing it too.

 

Outside of the tequila barrel aged stuff, I sort of expect this with Bottle Logic's barrel aged beers now.

 

What are u guys finding that the differences are from draft to bottle? Thanks.

 

Space Trace was good but when it comes to the coconut flavors, I think STF was better. Definitely wasn't at FO's level. Still a great beer and I'll enjoy it out of the bottle in any case.

Also tried Haze Reaction. Looks like a NE IPA, tastes sort of like a West Coast IPA. Seemed alright but not at the same level as some of the other NE style IPAs. I give them credit for continuing to try to recreate the style at least.

It would be nice if they would just do a collaboration with a NE brewery to learn the tricks of the trade though. I would be very interested in seeing what they could come up with after figuring out the brewing process.

 

I find the gulps are better from the bottle than draft.

 

Bottles have a thicker mouth feel. Richer chocolate and a bit more coconut

 

Anyone have a complete list of BL stasis project beers? I can't find one on their website.

Pretty sure someone who gets so upset to call someone a douch bag because they wear jeans and flops is probably themselves a douch bag. That being said it's not a good look

 

Spoke to one of the brewers last Monday and expanding the bathrooms will be part of the renovation starting around January. He said that was one of the biggest complaints they get

 

Anyone picking up bottles at blizzcon?

 

Wonder how crazy this is gonna get. No one really talked about the last time they did bottles for Blizzcon.

 

I went and picked up 2 of each about 2 hours ago at the Hilton. Crap ton of people there, but not for the beer. Had to wait about 15 minutes in a bar line, $24 a piece.

 

Long Lines, but mostly not for the beer...Limit of 2 ea for BA and unlimited for the Brown. Took me about an hour from Parking at Hilton to getting in line and driving out...

 

about an hour was what I waited from parking to walking through the masses and saying hi to the BL guys.

Easy peasy.

 

Was thinking of driving down to the Hilton today to try my luck. I know the Marriott is old out, any ideas if the Hilton still has some?

 

Sounds like they do and there are already people there lined up. A friend called and they didn't tell her how much was left.

 

Awesome thx. Will head down!
