    Anyone know when, or heard any rumors? Trying to plan out my summer budget and vacation dayys. I know they are busy just wondering if anyones gone in to pester them about it. Really don't want to miss this one and the slow updates give me ants in the pants.

    There have been a few Gratitude threads posted in the Mid-Atlantic forum. There was a batch that was bottled back in February, but it didn't carbonate correctly.* Not sure if they're trying to re-condition at this point, but it seems that nobody's really heard anything about it lately.

    *Word on the street was that this was the case. If anyone would like to chime in with more accurate info (Scott, for instance), I'm sure everyone would appreciate it.

    As of ~2 months ago, the batch was still completely flat. I hope it magically carbonates, but I'm not sure the chances of that happening are very good.

    Sorry I did my best to search. Wow completely missed that I've checked their homepage a few times since that update, I guess I figured it would post below the last update email. Thats all good with me the longer it takes the more time I have to save for the release and House of a Thousand Beers right after!

    Out of curiosity, where did you hear that? It would be kind of cool if they let it ferment for a year and did a double 2012 release. That would be an awesome way to make sure everyone gets some kind of vertical, Or Raffle off the "bad batch" at the next release.

    I had flat Gratitude and it was still pretty boss. They poured it from a keg and the first few rounds were flat and that was the only draw back.

    They did shake the keg and it carbonated but only a mild lace ring.

    They should just stick it in a barrel with Brett for 4 years and see what happens.

    Haha if they did that they could raffle them and make the ticket price one quarter the anticipated Ebay price if it didn't dissuade black market activity at least the brewery would get a fat chunk of change to make more of their awesome beer.

    ISO: Pre-trade 2011 gratitude with brett pitched at one year and cellared for three! In person only Pittsburgh PA... in the year 2014. FT $600.
