    Sankykid is right. Sold out in seconds.

    It's weird how that works differently for everyone. I thought it lasted minutes. My wife used my phone to get bottles after I got some.

    You must be thinking about DSN or something. FO was like their second or so online sale and that went extremely quick.

    Ditto, first order complete in less than a minute, second order in approximately four minutes.

    No. It did not. Not for me! Knock on wood!

    Psh. Not sure why everyone is talking about Fo3 when Titan of Tokyo is live. Super excited for more canned sours from BL. :slight_smile:

    Tickets still available for ToT and the glass, very surprised.

    It's not an IPA that looks like a wheat beer, it's an actual wheat beer. Therein lies the problem.

    Oh well, glad everyone is snoozing on it. I loved Hostile Intent and will probably love this one too. More cans for me.

    I passed on the glassware this time though. I just have no interest in beer can glasses...

    I'll happily give it a shot when I'm down there this weekend if it's on for pours, but most of the cans in my fridge right now are things I can obtain without obstacles like lines or online sales.

    To me, an online sale is the easiest way to get beer period. Better than waiting in a line, or going to a liquor store. Takes a few seconds and you have your purchase secured and paid for, for pick-up at your own leisure.

    Online sales, if you couple them with clubs/societies, are certainly the easiest way to buy beer and directly support the brewers you love. For me personally? Compared to, say, FO (and other BA adjunct stouts)...the quality differential between what you're buying online and what you can find on a shelf at your local store just isn't the same with IPAs.

    yeah, this was a happy easy purchase to me. the artwork is on point, Hostile intent was an easy drinker for me. I only regret the 2 4pk limit. But hey, guess it'll make it to distribution and it not being hazy means I get a chance to buy more. I could have happily bought a case of Hostile Intent and this one sounds great as well.

    Glassware was a must as Josh's artwork for this is just too awesome. Can't wait to throw money towards a shirt.

    fob1 was when they still disclosed bottling numbers and it was around 3.5k... by the time fob2 came around they had already stopped disclosing bottle numbers, but said that it was double the amount of b1, so we were safe to assume it was around 8000 bottles (minus about 900 bottles for T3 members) and sold out in milliseconds..... Needless to say, 5-6k bottles is not ridiculous. Considering the 2k in LEVEL UP this year, Id say they are potentially (hopefully) even putting out upwards of 12-14k bottles for fob3.....But like everyone, we always worry quality will diminish with scaling up. I guess well just have to wait and see, and thankfully not long.

    I doubt Bottle Logic has “scaled up” but rather has probably made multiple batches using identical equipment of the same size. Problems with scale up usually arise from difference in volume and change in things like reaction rates.

    You mean "Reaction States"

    Seven minutes in, B*A tickets still available. By this point last month LR LR was already gone. And this one's a DIPA too. Is the haze craze dying down?
