Official SA Bishop's Barrel thread

He's hardly being a homer, just a realist.

 

This makes me sad...

It sucks having a job where I clock out at 6...

 

He is not saying anything I have not said in the past, but don't have the energy to keep saying. It is good that some people have common sense.

 

Nope, my brother isn't Brock and normally I'm not confrontational but it's really just getting old seeing people post info they know nothing about. Go ahead and provide facts and I won't diasgree. I could care less if you love or hate St A's I just have a problem with nonfactual info being passed off as fact, plain and simple. Post a thread how much you hate BB, more power to you, thats your opinion, you're entitled to it and I respect that.

I was a history major in college. It still annoys the shit out me to this day when I'm watching a movie or reading a book that is historically inaccurate. Just a pet peeve of mine that finally got to me.

 

Hell, try clocking out at Midnight. I got lucky as fuck to catch wave 2 at Petrol Station cause I took Lunch @ 6 tonight.

 

So Hay gets theirs tomorrow? If so I'm sending the GF on a quest...

 

I think the "oh, it's so small of a batch" theory is discounted when you consider that 1000 cases were created. Now, let's say that we went back in time and put this release in bombers. You'd end up with a little more than half the number of cases, so let's say 500. Heck, it's almost twice the amount of volume, so let's up the price to $17, or around the price for a JK Whiskey Rodeo (a similarly Whiskey-barrel-aged product).

Jester King was able to distribute to all lands far and wide in Texas with merely 1/5 of that amount (100 cases) and it was easily accessible to most when places limited it to 1 bottle per person.

I'm just not getting the whole "it's so small" argument when other Texas craft brewers (Karbach included) are turning out even smaller batches that make it into people's hands through normal distribution methods. It might be small for SA, but it's relatively large for some of the smaller breweries.

I'll shut up now.

 

Sorry.. no math allowed here.. it hurts my head!

 

Ignoring the fact that for a LONG time JK was producing nothing for the Texas market, then spent basically everything on special releases. SA is basically at capacity with everything, and it has been that way for years. Not to mention moving to a new brewery. I will agree that this is not really a "rare" release. Though anyone that says this not a small release is crazy, and like I said people will be able to find it at bars once the crazy releases from Petrol and Merchant die down.

 

I have a pic, but would need your email as I haven't figured how to get it from my phone to PC file.

 

we got there at 4:20 we were 10th by the time they opened the door, line was way across the street

 

I see where you're coming from with that but let's also look at one other key item.

How established is Saint Arnold in the marketplace vs. pretty much anyone but Shiner

The name is out there and, they have been doing these Easter Egg hunts since '05 if not even longer? - Way too much demand, not nearly enough supply.

I bet you can go to any bar in Houston, speak to the average beer drinker - They would know Shiner or SA before they would know anyone else.

 

I like Wild Turkey in my beer

 

Beermail me and I'll trade you some.

 

same here, lol, she's been sent with instructions haha.

 

They didn't say that you couldn't age DR11 though... http://www.saintarnold.com/beers/divine_11.html

 

I predict even more pissed off people tomorrow.
