Maine Beer Co. Dinner

Last time it was released at noon when they opened. And they retweeted a guy saying it was being released again on the 21st at noon, so I'd assume it's then.

 

Anyone think this will last until Saturday?

 

Patina Pale is the best new APA I've had in, well, pretty much forever. Edward-level. Had it like 20 minutes after kegging last weekend, which helps I'm sure, but holy fuck. Substantially better than The Substance, IMO, which is not a dig at that beer. Yes, I'm aware they're different styles.

 

I would say that you are relatively insane. Add a bit to your drive and just go to HF...

 

Good to know bout the Patina Pale I'll have to try it sooner than later.

 

Ill be in Old Orchard Beach from May 24 to June 1. Any Maine peeps want to trade (pre) some bottles for Darkness and/or Illuminating the Path? Bm to discuss.

 

Did you guys see on their website it now says 3 case limit per person? LOL

 

I guess that's more incentive for people traveling quite the mileage to get there and for the gopickitupformebro's

 

what?! 3 cases? jesus

 

Lol They're either going for a record breaking sell time or they have a TON of it.

 

It says bottling "approximately" 15bbls which I thought is what they originally said

 

I hope they're offering lines of credit.

 

I assume they just want to move it all in a few days. The three case limit is very attractive to people driving up.

They'll pocket a cool $250,000 before Saturday.

 

Anyone interested in splitting a case or something along those lines let me know. I'll send a shipper and pay for return shipping. Or if you'll be in VT on the 24th I'll be there for in person pick up.

 

I did not. Thanks for the heads up as I was already planning on making the trip up on Wednesday with my niece. From limits of 4 to 12 to 36, that's crazy. I'll take it though.

 

That's doing what's right- they are the only brewery that brags about giving their feed to local farmers- they most all do.

 

That's about doing what's right. They are the only brewery that I know of that brags about supplying local farmers (#2 on the list of nice things they do) spent grain. Most breweries do that.

 

Any idea how much a case is? 3 cases is making me think about a trip.

 

I'd like to know as well. Anyone out there who went to the first release? How much per bottle then?

Pure speculation, $8 per bottle (12 bottles to a case) = $96

 

Correct, $96+tax per case of 12 bottles.

I'm truly fascinated to see how many people are willing to pay more than double the price of HT for half the beer in return.
