Latest Pipeworks Releases and Updates

The new batch of Abduction (supposedly thicker and less dry) and fresh NvU are around.

 

Anyone know what batch # the new Abduction is?

 

44

1st one was 41

 

I've been MIA for the past week or so. Did I miss the release of Well Read Temptress? If so anyone know where I can still find some. I've really been looking forward to this one, I hope I didn't drop the ball.

 

Next time you head to Calumet Waterworks Road, bring up a little sixth barrel and we will tap it at the Fitz for a lil private sampling.

 

There definitely wasn't as much talk about this one for some reason. Pipeworks mentioned that FwB could pick them up at WLV and Vav when it was first dropped, but nothing was ever said about it being available at other locations.

 

Vav would have released any remaining bottles of Well Read from the FwB allocation that didn't get picked up... what, today? Yesterday? So maybe start there? Or the Grand Ave. Binnys -- I feel like they have more Pipeworks on the shelves than any other store I've seen.

 

just got some on wednesday from WLV.

 

Yesterday, and i've got shittons of Well Read.

 

South Loop Binny's also just got their shipment on Wednesday... there were some on the shelf yesterday afternoon for sure.

 

If you're in the burbs, they had plenty at the Famous Liquors in Lombard when I stopped by on Tues.

 

I just ran to Binny's Grand. They have Well Read Temptress and new NvU. They still had one bottle of the first batch of Abduction and wouldn't sell me one of the new ones until "the previous batch is gone". Oh well.

 

excellent, geographically speaking Grand is my preferred location. Thanks everyone!

 

I must have missed this , but Pipeworks has greatly updated there website with new layout, navigation and more!!!!! Great job Guys! Still seems to be updating in progress though great move forward!

 

just because I haven't seen much written about on the forum, At Her Majesty's Pleasure IMO is one of the best beers they have done. English ales are not typically my favorite style, but Majesty is excellent. But very well balanced and great hop presence. I think its not typical of the style, which could explain why I like it.

 

just opened the first batch of abducted and now i regret. i won't the original batch anymore. this is going down great now. later? i imagine even better. alas, i must get a tweaked version of abducted. i'll be in lakeview tomorrow so i might stop by and check what WLV has.

 

hmm so i have a batch 41 Abduction in my hands. ?

 

OK I opened it and I am not sad. I am surely not the most discerning taster of imperial stouts on this forum, but I enjoy this. It is quite chocolatey. This might be influenced by the fact that I ate a bar of 85% cacao chocolate before drinking this. I am willing to accept this. Quite enjoyable, though. Room temp.

 

Blue Lady responders... just started replying personally to each of you (makes up about 300 bottles worth... =p) It'll take me a few days (meaning a week) to do so as our Belgian server is shutting down our IP route from the brewery (if that makes any sense) so we have to go to the Map Room =) to send/receive e-mails! Not a bad place for a temporary office.
