Dark Horse Beer Release (9/12)

I got to the 3 Pair of Legs release early and waited in line. People showed up at release time and got bottles. I don't think this is going to be too crazy. I plan to show at release time and grab my bottles.

 

It might be a lot crazier now.

 

They posted that Super Juice (Quadruple Crooked Tree) won't be available due to yeast issues. The only ones being released will be Oktoberfest (limit two 4-packs / 144 cases available) and Maple Bourbon Barrel Black Bier (limit one 4-pack / 110 cases available). There's enough Octoberfest for 432 people and 660 people will get the Maple Bourbon Bier. There might be a line, but there should be plenty for anyone that shows up when they start selling at 11:00am.

 

660 four packs. No way it sells out before 5pm

 

Anyone ever hear what happened with the Tequilla Barrel Aged Pineapple Saison that was supposed to release with the 3 and 6 Pair of Legs?

 

I saw this pop up, but not really interested in the Oktoberfest, and the other ones sounds good, but not amazing, plus 1 pack limit on that... I'll be driving right by on the way to Kalamazoo and think I am going to pass.

For the OP's question, yes they are a bit crazy with lots of people waiting. Usually they are tied to an event though. Winter brew off, crawfish fest, etc. This one isn't, so I don't think it will pull the crowd as much. However a LOT of people are going to be passing by to get to Funvitational...

 

It is hard saying how busy these things are. With BA Blueberry Tres, the line didn't even form until the time it went on sale. It wasn't really crazy at all. However, the 3 and 6 legs was a little crazier. I hopped in line about 20 minutes after it went on sale and missed out on the 3 legs. I would say, be there at 10:30 and you will be safe.

 

I'm camping out overnight you guys.

 

Bringing some homeless with you too?

 

Only if I can find a mattress.

Looks like I'm stopping at Dark Horse on the way to Bell's.

 

Will be a small line. Should last through the day/weekend

 

The line has begun!

 

My Mother In Law is eating dinner there tonight, any shot this makes it until this evening?

 

I'd say very likely

 

I'd guess that there was around 75 people in line at 11:00. Based on the release numbers, there should be plenty available all day. On to Funvitational!!!

 

She stopped in early to and got me a 4-pack. What an awesome Mother In Law! I'm always away on business I swear during every bottle release anywhere!

 

Maple bourbon black bier is drinking great. I already see the "could use more body" "could use more bourbon". But this beer has a lot of flavor, great nose, and its nice knowing that I can drink a beer after this and not be too buzzed (7.5%) well done, was still a half pallet of both around 2 pm with a small line. Also the oktoberfest is 6 packs, I thought I read it as 4 packs as well on facebook
