Le Mort Vivant getting bottled?

this thread......

 

It was ok... Had it at the cask collection from Beerfeast last Saturday. But then again, I was around 20 beers deep at that point...

 

31.4oz? First a 11.2oz bottle of BA Buried Hatchet, now this: have these guys lost their goddamn marbles? lol.

I'm gonna assume this is 750ml (1 pint 9.4 ounces)

As for why these guys are going with bottles: you have to order something like 50,000 aluminum cans minimum from Ball. I can only assume they're trying to get away from using the plain green can with label.

I talked with a rep from another canning brewery in Texas who said that the process of putting labels on cans is a complete pain in the ass when I asked about using them for special releases ala Southern Star's Seasonals.

I'm guessing Seasonals are going to move to bottles once Pro-Am is a year-round (and thus will get its' own can sans label)

 

Yeah, odd size. Not a liter, not two imperial pints.

Awesome label though, and I really enjoy this stuff; will buy.

 

Isn't this 1 pint which equals 15.4 oz? Granted I thought a pint was 16oz but no way they'd do a ******ed size for this right?

 

Arent these in weird ceramic bottles? Might be why the size is so different

 

No, that's not how the volume is labeled. Look at a 750ml or bomber, and you'll see them labeled as "1 pint 9.4 FL OZ." and 1 pint 6 FL OZ." respectively.

 

Pretty sure that is Blind Ambition.

 

The comma on the label leads me to believe there is a separation between the two.

 

Didn't catch the comma, which is odd. Why bother with the "1 PINT" part at all then? I guess we'll find out when it comes out.

 

It just got bumped, but if you look at their label here, they use a comma between the 1 PINT and the 9.4 FL OZ. for a 750ml.

So, these are going to be huge bottles.
