Bottle Logic Brewing Thread - Winter 2016/2017

On Instagram they said they'd be sent out before 3pm PST. So any hour now.

 

So what you're saying is to refresh my inbox constantly because it'll arrive in any minute?

Got it.

 

As someone that is in Norcal and has absolutely no extreme praise-worthy breweries that are implementing these kinds of measures with their releases I absolutely have to say I'm very jealous. SARA's method doesn't flat out reward locals as it doesn't reward people with certain conflicting work schedules. You have a monday off, but no weekends? You get off work around 8 o clock? Tough luck you better convince some friends to become mules for you. Having a raffle for the rarest of the rare or allowing people to purchase a small limit of bottles online based off a first come first serve basis is the way to go..especially when line cutting runs rampant at a lot of these beer events.

 

You will know when emails are going out by the amount of trades that get posted looking for "hops".

 

I feel helpless knowing that I did not get an entry into the raffle.

 

Yeah man, like when the cable guy says he'll be at your place between 8am and 3pm. Make sure you're by the window and check every few seconds.

 

This makes me sad. Prior to this I saw a commercial about adopting abused pets and thought I had just seen the saddest thing I'll see all day...nope.

 

You understand that if you win the raffle, you have until Wed. to purchase, right?

 

It's the anticipation of seeing whether we won

 

Yeah plus if I win, you bet your as I'm not waiting till Wednesday

 

I'm hoping that they send the emails at 2:59.

 

So are they sending out "loser" emails too?

 

Bottle Logic posted on their Instragram that emails will only be sent to winners. No closure for losers, lol.

 

"Loser" emails come with the Price is Right horns playing in your head. But nice to know that you didn't win instead of waiting and waiting and waiting for an email to show up.

 

Has anyone got an email yet?

I sure havent

 

Dear lord I'm at home from work today waiting on the internet guy AND a BL email. Nailed it!

 

I read some dudes talking about how they had their wives, dads, brothers, and grandma signing up to increase their chances. I always thought the grandma mule stories were old wives tales. Then I went to pick up my bottles from the Space Trace release. Saw a dude, wearing Angels gear, head to toe red and his grandma (or mom, she was pretty old), walking out with him, brew in hand and getting in their car.

No way that dude was just kicking with her. Yeah she drove.

 

Maybe Grandma is just proud her grandbaby finally found a job as a "independent beer distributor."

 

There's a dude here that said he scored 64 bottles of GS and RS with virtual mules.

 

Pathetic, no other word for it.

I had them both on draft this weekend and thought they were fine to good, but if I had gotten bottles I'd probably only get 1 or 2 of each since the adjuncts seem like they'll fall off pretty quickly. Meanwhile this dumbshit has to hype the living crap out of it and give it 5 stars on every site imaginable so he can resell it/trade it away.
