    I thought Alderaan was good, but I feel like the barrels might turn it from good to GREAT. Very excited to sample some Deth's Tar....

    i enjoyed it. however, i'd say it was quite the opposite of thin.

    Heading to the brewpub tonight to try Alderaan. Does the mug club membership only allow for that free 5 oz on the night of release?

    It was still on at the brewpub when I left at 12:30 last night. I think the 5 oz sample is only for the night of the release, but doesn't hurt to try today.

    Mug Club is supposed to get free samples? In that case, I've been getting screwed.

    yeah, on the day a beer gets released they give you a free 5oz pour of said beer when you flash your card. my alderaan last night was free (though sometimes they do make exceptions, like at the mean/bean gene release where they wouldn't give freebies).

    FYI: just got back from lunch and E. Norma Gene was NOT tapped (at the Brewpub), only Alderaan

    Anyone know if Alderaan is still on tap at either spot today?

    After seeing a recent thread here on BA, I heard that they are re-thinking what bottle to use.

    It better not be like those damn Founders bottles. I heard some guy on here really thinks they are ugly and can make people think the beer isn't as good. What a weirdo!

    norma isn't coming to bottles (at least there hasn't been any published news about it). the upcoming bottle release is deth's tar, which is bourbon BA alderaan.
