El Catador first beer poll!

Still going with 110k+OT batch 6

Likely wishful thinking.

 

Hecho a mano... Only one email at a time...

 

Although, in my dream last night it was Hopped up Johnnie.

Soooooo good.

 

Forgotten Island. I was way off.

 

Forgotten Island!!!!!

 

forgotten island! Bam I was right in this poll!

 

i got it right

 

I take it several people got emails already. Since I didn't (I'm sure it will come eventually) I'm thinking this first come first serve by email for extras might not work out so well for me.

 

Will this be on tap for members I would love to know what this tastes like so I can decide to drink it soon or age it for a while.

 

well I know they don't send the emails out base on your Club Member number. I'm 101 and I have not received an email as of yet.

EDIT-just received the email

 

belgian-style quad aged in rum barrels

 

Still haven't gotten mine either...

 

For those biting their nails:

"...a contemplative ale perfect for introspective moments far from the cares of the world beyond."

A: Forgotten Island, 15% ABV

Introducing the first bottle release in El Catador Club


"Deep brown to mahogany, this dark complex ale originated in Trappist monasteries throughout Belgium. It was sipped by Trappist monks during fasting and Winter months. Quadrupel is the strongest denomination of monastic beer. It shadows tripel, dubbel and single styles of Belgian ale, many of which were produced at Trappist monasteries as well.Forgotten Island is aged in Appleton rum barrels, originating from Jamaica. This distillery makes the oldest barrel-aged rum in the world. The barrel lends notes of vanilla, molasses, orange peel, cocoa, brown sugar, nutmeg, hazelnut, apricot and peach. This plethora of flavors and aromas from the rum barrels intermingles with banana, clove, cinnamon, fig, plum and brown sugar aromatics and flavors from the quadrupel, creating a crescendo of elegance in a long flavorful finale."

Forgotten Island will be available in the tasting room starting Wednesday, August 7th at 11am exclusively to El Catador Club members. When retrieving your bottle, please have your member card and I.D. ready to make things easier for our bartenders (trustees can just show their I.D.). Also, keep in mind that during peak hours it may take a bit of time to get your bottle.

There will be additional bottles available for purchase! However we have not yet determined an exact date we will sell them. We will announce that soon via email. They will be sold first-come-first-serve online.

Cheers!

so, does my trustee need a copy of my membership card for them to snag my bottle?

 

(trustees can just show their I.D.)

 

guess it would have helped if i kept reading

 

I'm still curious to see how the online sales are handled... Will we be given notice that bottles can be reserved at x:00 via email, or will it be 'emails accepted immediately first come first serve'. I actually hope they mix it up here and there with both.

 

Will there be a time when some of these beers would be available on draft for the peasants?

 

This is gonna be a loooonnng week

 

Will these be wax dipped?
