Firestone Walker Barrelworks 2016 Liberations

I didn't realize that until your post... If all goes well tomorrow, I'll be doing the same.

 

Got my 4+4 in the first minute. First try. But for fun I refreshed a few times after and it would show some available and then sold out on the next refresh. Even up to just a min ago.

 

a few should keep popping up here and there as they fall from carts until they say "sales ended" instead of "sold out".

either way, does anybody else feel guilty for spending $17 on a 375ml bottle? I guess thats like up to par with lost abbey pricing now.... damn.

 

I'm releasing 4 Strawberries... Keep f5'ing people!!!

 

$18.25 with tax is still cheaper per oz than Lost Abbey. I'm also expecting these to be of higher quality, too. I guess I'll find out if I'm mistaken after I pick them up.

 

Personally, as someone who's not interested in trading and just wants 2 of each, this works out much better for me. Before I'd either have to commit to a huge allocation for a liberation, or try to pick them up one by one on trips through the area. This time I got my 2 of each and I'll plan a casual trip to pick them up.

 

Yeah, I just worked that out for myself as well... almost a nickel per ml. Ouch.

 

I snoozed on the release and just got a Strawberry 5 min ago.

 

Fresh off the presses! Looks like a two bottle limit of Bretta Rose b3 for this weekend at Barrelworks. States it's a preview of a future release.

 

With the labels posted a couple pages back noting 3,500 cases, it was a pretty good bet this (along w/ Lil Opal, Agrestic, and Krieky) was gonna see distro. Surprised this one is apparently (almost) ready to go. Pretty rad, though. Especially stoked on more Lil Opal!

 

I love Lil' Opal!...poor stepchild.

 

can anybody make out the case count on the label in that photo jeffers posted?

 

Same here, man - especially with a little age, that thing is fantastic.

 

@tokimedo I think it's 3000. There's a little bit of a better view from Sour Jim's instagram picture.

 

ah thanks for the heads up! went over there and checked his post. looks like distro as early as may. nice!

 

love bretta rose, can't wait for it to hit distro

 

Well I'm absolutely furious at FW that I forgot all about this until 9 hrs after the sale and I got SHUT OUT.

Interesting that they are shaking things up in format. I fully support the one month pick up window.

 

Then we have a day of preview tomorrow at barrelworks. goddamn it.

Gonna have to give this to my lawyer to look it over, but good on them for at least attempting to prevent it from becoming a potential drunken shit show.

 

Yeah. That's a lot of rules. Guess they have to cover their asses. But it's kind of humorous reading through all that and then "please have fun"

Barring having to work I will be there
