    We will again be releasing the Fat Boy Baltic Porter on Saturday, Jan. 18 at a breakfast event. From 10 a.m.-noon, we will be serving breakfast and selling the entirety of the very limited release bottles. We encourage our fellow beer lovers to bring bottles for a share, although we must insist that any outside bottles brought in be consumed by 11:45 as we open to the public at noon. We have all been to brewery releases and enjoyed the festive atmosphere of attendees bringing their best and rarest bottles to share with fellow BAs, and we very much wanted to encourage that for one of our favorite days of the year.

    Pre-registration is now live at http://store.oldemeckbrew.com/baltic-porter-breakfast-release1.html. Only 150 registrations will be accepted.

    We fully expect these spots to pre-sell out, just like last year. We are offering two registration options:

    1) For $25, you get:

    Admission (of course)
    A plate of breakfast
    A bomber of the Fat Boy
    A pint of Fat Boy served in a take home glass (and we'll have an upgrade option here to get a deep discount on our new gold leaf tulip glasses)
    A raffle ticket for a special OMB gift basket

    2) For $34.99, you get the above plus reserve a second bottle of Fat Boy.

    We again anticipate a great morning with beer lovers from all over the area. See you on the 18th!

    Looking forward to it! May bring a bottle of last year's Fat Boy to compare, as well as some other good bottles.

    Just bought my ticket and also added the event to the site: http://www.charlottebeer.com/2014/01/03/the-olde-mecklenburg-brewery-releases-fat-boy-baltic-porter/

    Who else is in? I'm thinking of bringing some other great Baltic porters to share. I have last year's Fat Boy, plus Pisgah's rum barrel-aged Cosmos and Les Trois Mousquetaires Grande Cuvée Porter Baltique (Jay, I know we talked about this one -- a friend just gave me a bottle!).

    And maybe I'll bring a bottle of Duck-Rabbit's for good measure. Plus I've got some big stouts burning a hole in my "cellar."

    Had a great time last year but I am not sure showing up half in the bag for 7 year old girls 1pm basketball game (at a church no less), would win me many parenting points!

    Just a reminder for our folks who have been waiting to buy tickets, we starting to get that "waited until the last minute rush" and want to make sure our fellow BAs are there to enjoy the party. Also, we are tapping our Four Roses barrel aged Bauern Bock the night before if anyone wants a serious eye opener at 10 a.m. to accompany the bottles being shared! See you folks then.

    Top shelf be damned. I'm bringing the bottom shelf to tomorrow's release -- a bunch of big porters, with all of them in the Baltic variety save for the Black Butte.

    Looks like I can make it to this. Hope I can buy a ticket tomorrow morning. I've got some dark beers to bring along. Only one is a baltic.
