Fremont BBA Dark Star 2017

Cool! If it's not at least somewhat mellow we might not crack open any bottles or drink at all in line; playing it by ear and just making sure we don't contribute to a bad situation. I feel like that even at the bigger releases with lines longer than ever there are less wasted people. This past release was the first time we partook.

I wouldn't be surprised either way. Their releases are more popular than ever on one hand, but on the other hand they seem to have perfected the art of creating more and more of their amazing barrel aged beers.

Perhaps someone can give insight into how many cases they've produced.

 

True that. My experience at the B2K release was so positive it encourages me to participate this time

 

Fremont, God bless them,
eschews talk of case counts. Beer
shan't be judged that way.

 

That's a bit odd isn't it?

 

Now, that’s about the biggest endorsement I could hope for in this crazy world. We try to make these releases community-oriented, tamp down the shit lord factor and make enough great beer for the working man at a decent price....while it lasts, it seems to be working...let’s just not hype this scene too much and enjoy what we have at this moment

 

Not understanding, how so?

 

For sale in Denver days before the local release.

 

Ahh, OK. Well, logistics are a funny thing.

 

Yeah figured they must have sent the BBADS + variants at the same time; just thought it was interesting/odd as I've never seen that.

 

plenty of bottles at Saraveza in Portland yesterday in case anybody is still searching. Also had 6 packs of Cowiche Canyon

 

Plenty of bottles still at the brewery in case anyone missed out...

 

Spice and coffee are both at Belmont Station bottle limit 1. It's a little hidden so look carefully

 

Release coordination snafu w/ regional distributors? Seems not-so-great that it hits elsewhere in the country before it's even officially released at the brewery, let alone the local Seattle mkt...

 

Doesnt personally concern me but yeah seems like a distributor shouldnt do that just for the sake of appearance.

 

Anyone in line at the brewery now? I want to go today once the line is gone lol

 

Line is already almost gone. FyI spice wars is rather limited but so is the line lol.

 

No line as of 11:30. Walk right up and get some.

 

Sat in line for 3 hours. Not a waste of time if you like tasting some great beers.

 

Lol, i was the one with Bottle Logic Dark Star and HM Coconut Midnight Still.

 

I was the older guy, black wide brim hat, Surly Darkness
