No Rules 2017

Hopefully no issues with large chunks in these bottles basically the consistency of very spoiled milk. I emailed and messaged the brewery weeks ago about a bottle full of large chunks and received no response. I know of at least one other person who experienced the same thing.

 

Cincinnati was loaded up for awhile. Probably not as easy to find right now in bottles but I can find it frequently on draft.

 

Secret is out. After Chicagoan's saw the photos last year of that guy loading up what looked to be 1,000 bottles in his truck, they will be lined up en masse this year. At least the Michigan economy should get a good tourist bump for a day...

 

Still on the floor in Toledo as of sunday

 

I am in NE Ohio near Cleveland. When Perrin entered ohio and the ABV cap was tossed out, they sent a special shipment to Ohio. There are probably 5 or 6 stores I frequent and they all have a ton of it (it was sent here months ago). Wanna say $14.99 a bottle.

 

So...cheaper + readily available + no signs of running out = zero chance I'm going to this release.
Thank you folks keeping me in the central time zone.

 

So what I hear is "Ohio doesn't deserve nice things."

 

No wonder Ohio usually decides the presidential elections- they are stone cold sober...

 

I found some in Indy last week. I didn't realize it was 2016 (first time seeing this). Store downtown had a case or two.

 

I didn't realize there was a 2016 release. Or were they 2015's leftover that got sent to OH? Do the bottles differ?

 

Of course there was a 2016 release...? March 26th at Perrin last year, and then out to distro.

2015 Green Ball
2016 Purple Ball
2017 Orange/Brown Ball

 

Yeah, I found it - my bad

 

What you shoulda heard is, "Ohio has tons of nice things; and it's a tough market.".

No Rules isn't "shelf turding" here as someone said, but it obviously wasn't a KBS kind of release. Most of the higher traffic shops have sold out, but the smaller stores still have some. It's important to remember also that this beer was illegal here until September due to it's ABV, so it's really only been around for a few months. The shop I frequent in Indiana still has some as well, but they didn't even receive theirs until mid-December.

Just seems that Perrin made shit tons of No Rules in 2016.

 

Haha, no they do not. There was seriously a lot of this beer. When I was back a few months back it was on tap all over (even in the middle of nowhere) and stores had cases upon cases delivered.

 

After attending the Unfinished Business release/Nuclear Noise party and then seeing the same beer's in distro, all over the place, for at least $2 less a bottle then I paid for at Perrin, It's safe to say I won't be attending their bottle releases anymore, they brew a ton. Where's the incentive?

 

Same here, I randomly saw some at some stores on the NW side of Indy, had never seen this before then either (also first time I had been to these stores I saw them at).

 

I believe a batch was brewed specifically for Indiana & Ohio last year, it wasn't the same as the "release" batch.

That's what I heard from a store owner in IN anyway.

 

If you want to buy large QTYs and the ability to just be done with it and get how much you want.

But i'm with you, I can scrounge together what I want locally

 

I also get the "I don't want to undercut my local stores that support us day after day", and I'm only out bout $8. I'm just a cheap sob.
