Next Upland Lottery

Two winners per style per winnner... Interesting. So, winners will get 6 bottles and losers will get none. Well played, Upland. Well played.

 

I'm waiting for Cloudberries...

 

they must be making a lot more of these right?

 

hard to tell. each SBS member could buy 3 of each....they must be ramping up production....or are just counting on having very few lottery winners....

 

ya just judging by the boards here it seemed like half the damn BA won last time with the 2 bottle count one. With the SBS getting up to three, you imagine they must have a ton more. But your right, they could just have a bunch of losers in the lottery.

 

The 11th street brewpub from what I understand is now solely devoted to lambics and other 'special' releases. They opened up a production facility on the west side of time to brew all the year round and seasonals. It was only a matter of time until supply got more in line with demand.

I don't know, now that they're so easy to get I don't think I'm interested. Haha.

 

I don't see these selling out every time any more. It seems like they JUST did Raspberry and Strawberry.

 

Strawberry was the release prior to the most recent. It was in the same release as Kiwi and Blackberry.

 

I wouldn't say anyone got screwed, it's not like anyone was promised bottles of SR4 outside of the society.

 

While I technically agree with you, I do have to say that society members are the only ones who got screwed. $250 for the 'right' to purchase beer. I mean Upland lambics and special releases are good, but come on - you're going to average $50/bottle for 12 bottles when it's said and done. In comparison, the el Catador members paid $120 and are getting some pretty sweet perks out of it too.

 

If you end up buying the 40+ bottles that you will be able to purchase over the course of the year! it turns in to a pretty minimal 'tax' for not having to fuck around with the lottery.

 

I lost in the last lottery. The day they sold the extras I went over to the B'ton pub early (it's 2 miles away) and nobody was there. I went for a walk, then another walk, then another walk. Finally somebody showed up around 10:15 and I talked to him until they opened at 11. Two other people showed up right at 11. They were only going to sell us one bottle total. We pointed out there were only 4 of us so we all got one of each including SR4. A couple of weeks later I was there and they had several Cherries and one Raspberry unsold at the bar.

 

How are they getting screwed? They got exactly what they paid for - membership to a society that allows them to purchase bottles but which doesn't include bottles in the membership price.

 

Only as something to trade with other people who weren't fortunate enough to win...

 

So how do you enter the lottery anyway? I went to the link (I created an account with eventbrite) but nowhere on the page to actually sign up for the lottery.
