Dionysus Brewing

A buddy of mine brought two sample bottles to a small share we had. One was apricot and the other blackberry I think? I dont want to hate and they might create amazing stuff later on but they were not very good and one was alot worse then the other (soapy tasting)... From what I can tell they are not aged in any barrels yet so who knows what they might become in the future.
We were hoping that they were going to be amazing but that was not the case, and I forgot I had tried them until I saw this thread.

P.S. we were drinking some amazing stuff that day so maybe they never had a fair chance, but I am all for new businesses starting up and hope they do well.

 

IT took back the free shirts stating that the printing service basically failed. =P

 

No free shirts? *flips desk* Fuck this shit! Now I'm really not supporting IT!

 

If I remember correctly Casa sent out free beers to people on Instagram to try and rate. I had a Casa beer and enjoyed it but I and I assume most others were very turned off when one of the people involved started trying to trade their stuff for Loonz and Van Wink type BA beers (my experience). In this case I have seen much of the same. As a member of SBAE, I have seen him give out beers as well as trade them for more established world class ones. Now this isn't as bad as the Out of the Park Pizza guy or some of the other ones I've seen but his attitude has totally turned me off from the brewery. Like some others have said, there is enough great ones around that I wouldn't feel when I spend my money elsewhere. A little humility and transparency goes a long way here. Take notes from the guys at Sixpoint or Modern Times, those guys kill it at PR.

 

What's the deal with Out of the Park Pizza? Been there a few times, Black Friday events, etc., haven't seen anything funky going on.

 

They also really dislike negative feedback on Yelp, and get into arguments with those folks all the time. Basically it's Dio level customer service.

 

Darn the glasses are $15

That seems a bit steep it comes to $16.13 if I pick it up

thought would be cheaper or get discount for being a founding member

so far questioning my choice hope the beer is not crazy expensive .....

 

All members have a shirt and glass included in their membership. That price is for additional purchases for people who may have splitbtheir membership and want additional glassware or shirts.

 

I realized that but wanted another glass for the wife
Just thought it was pricey

 

Just rate the future brews '5' and give supplication a '1' to get that promo pricing!

 

Any update on the license?

 

Still pending

 

I realize this, which is why I asked if there's any update? Is it common for a license to sit pending for three months?

 

Approval takes on average 90 days for an "original" license (vs. a person to person transfer). It can take longer in some instances, which is hopefully not the case here.

 

I can't tell you if they will get their liquor license or even deliver the promise of the beer club, but a friend gave me a bottle of their Dry-Hopped Gose and it was excellent. "If" the quality of what I had can be reproduced on a larger scale and they deliver on the promises to everyone that shelled out $250, I would definitely be interested in signing up the following year.

 

Hey guys, wanted to give everyone an update on license: Our TTB license has been approved & ABC has notified us that we will get approval in 2 weeks as well, but will not sign it off until we have everything in place. It took us WAY too long to get our building permit to finish our trench drains and gas line hook up for our brew house, but we finally got it and we are working very hard to get the brewery up and running so you guys can come check it out. We project to open to the public right before Christmas. If you make it to our brewery during the first week, we will have two sours on tap starting off: Peach sour with vanilla bean & Raspberry Tart Farmhouse that was dry hopped with Wakatu and Simcoe! Of course we will have our other beers on tap, but for those sourheads, I wanted to give you guys a heads up! Cheers and hope everyone is having a good week thus far!

 

Awesome! Thanks for the update. Hope the next few weeks go by with out a hitch so you can get to making beer asap.

 

Been a grueling process, but one worth taking! Labor of love!

 

I don't. Was it the guy(s) from Dionysus that ended up with like 50 Parabajavas?
