Indeed HULLABALOO 2014 and...

Not funny you two. I'm teaching the dog to kill as soon as we get back from central waters.

 

What a great event. Couldn't go on Saturday due to my daughters birthday, but went today and had a great time.

Only thing I am disappointed with is that they ran out of their casks on Saturday. Guess I will just have to go on Saturday next year or hope they make more casks for Sunday.

 

Rum King info: Don't kill me if these numbers are not perfect but this is what I've been able to come up with based on previous posts and listening to Indeed reps on the Beer Show radio show last Thursday:

Bottles:
2014 - 360 cases made (4,320 bottles) and 90 cases (1,080 bottles) sold at Indeed
2015 - 550 cases made (6,600 bottles) and 100 cases (1,200 bottles) sold at Indeed

Price at Brewery:
2013 - $14.99
2014 - $16.99
2015 - $18.49

 

2013 was released in January of 2014, limit 3 at the tap room if this is correct:

Last year was $16.99 at the brewery, but often cheaper in distro:

It is interesting that Rum King bottles could be found last year cheaper at stores than Indeed. If bottles are cheaper again this year, I wouldn't blame some from wondering why they bother getting bottles at Indeed.

No one seemed to complain about the $18.49 price at Indeed this year but if bottles at stores are priced above that near $20 I could see them sitting for a while in smaller stores. Hopefully they will be cheaper again.

 

If it is cheaper in retail this year as well, I know I will buy them from Indeed again if for nothing else just knowing as long as I get their early, I will get a few bottles with out having to run all over the place.

 

I'll gladly pay $82 after tax for my 4 bottles opposed to the headache of driving around town for the total to come to $75.

Plus, did anyone else enjoy the Blucy's?!?! Definitely going back again next year to enjoy the festivities.

 

We got one of each of the sliders or whatever they were, all of their were solid.

The totchos were interesting, good and would probably order then again.

 

It all worked out. I got to wear @sembo 's shirt for the rest of the night. Clark gave me a bottle of MD (on the house). And @mrpeterandthepuffers left unscathed. Life is good when someone accidentally bumps your glass of MD and it spills on your shirt

 

For the record, I don't really have ferrets. It felt weird having that out there, where people might think I was serious about having ferrets.
Carry on.

 

Anytime I hear about a ferret all I can think of is the scene in the Big Lebowski.

 

Wow I thought it was 3,000 last year...thats a good number of bottles and means there is 5400 bottles going to distro!

 

This month suck the funds out of my beer budget. Chicago, BG, RK and Darkness...
