Kuhnhenn Winter Solstice 2012

It shows $8 this year, I'd rather have a $6 KBS personally.

 

Nine Braggot is apparently free.....that's actually pretty reasonable.

 

Sorry I stand corrected. I was looking at the reg 4d which was 7 last year also.

They have removed this list by the way.

 

12 bottles of BB4D is cool with me on Friday. I'm all about those chocolate pyments, too.

Go ahead and flame away, but I'm pumped for bottles of Christmas Stollen. I loved that beer on tap last year. Tastes just like it should: fruity, frosted bread.

 

Probably because everyone's gettin' all uppity with their expectations of all the beers that simply aren't ready yet.

WAH! WHERE'S MY BBBW?! WHERE BE MY KRE?! BBBFTLOLWTF?!?!

(Them's the breaks, duders!)

 

How big are the Pyment/mead bottles and do they last if you stopper them for a day or two. once you open them? I like mead but in small amounts (too sweet for a whole bottle).

 

No they didn't, showing plain as day or night ... on the events page.

None of that going on in the annoucement on their event page either "duders"

 

Sure is. Lots of people complaining on their event page about the list.

They also said "Bbl French Toast is a St. Pattys Day release."

 

No offense, but there is literally nothing on that list that I'd request a day off of work for. All decent beers, but if I'm taking a vacation day, it better be amazing. I couldn't go anyway, but I'm glad I'm not missing out on much. I will, however, miss you uppity bastards and your crappy beer humor.

 

2 people on their FB event page asked why only 12 bottles of BB4D....I'd hardly call that lots of people complaining

 

None taken ...

 

Heh ... Join me for a day at work. That isn't complaining in my book!

 

There are some breweries around that would bottle the beer even if it wasn't up to snuff. I think Kuhnhenn has been guilty of that in years past as well. I'd rather have them cancel the release a couple days before than buy an inferior product, especially at the price point of Raspberry Eisbock. I'm happy they want it to be perfect.

 

Has the BA Solar Eclipse ever been made?

 

If it has it's never been released like this. This is actually my primary reason for going. I'm actually a big fan of Solar Eclipse and they haven't been able to get a batch of this beer right for a couple of years now. This might just be the last chance to get any kind of Solar Eclipse.

 

Yes, I will miss BBBW and eisbock as they are two of my favorites, but come on. I'm not sure how anyone can day this list still isn't solid. The solar eclipse, bb4d, and some of those meads look more than worthwhile. What's nice is this stuff should be left over on Saturday for you guys who are skipping Friday.

 

This is good news because the batch that I had was not fantastic. Didn't taste awful or sour, but certainly not good.

 

Any day with BB4D is a good great day.

 

But it wasnt barrel aged - right?

 

Right. Last batch of normal Solar was 2009.
