O'so Bottled Sours in 2017

You can hit the F5 key to refresh a website. It's a joke. Tickets go on sale at noon on the 28th. I'm cautiously optimistic people will be able to get bottles. This is the largest release we've done with 5 different beers at once, and we dropped bottle limit down to 2 per person.

 

Are the bottle counts of each type similar to your previous releases? ~900 if I remember correctly.

 

Yes

 

I'm actually kinda surprised I wasn't one of the top 100 I purchased something from every release except Cassis which was intentional due to lack of funds. I also never had an opportunity to get the OG Scarlet Letter and I never bought any Fox & The Grapes due to my own ignorance (I never realized wine grapes and Lambic went together so well until I tried Vigneronne) and if I remember right the release was postponed.

I assume it has something to do with the amounts purchased because my friend was one of those top hundred customers (its also possible we split an allotment or two in the past through his BPT account I don't exactly recall).

If I do get shut out I will firstly, lay all blame on @FFGeuzeria and their terrible system they've put in place. I will secondly be demanding satisfaction from Levi for besmirching my good name, I will not tolerate such treachery!

Seriously though I'm stoked for the chance at some blueberry lambic from you guys not to mention all the trade ships whatever I'm able to buy tomorrow, It would be hard to be too disappointed.

Good luck bros!

 

I know 1 guy in the top 100 and he has maxed out every single online purchase possible, and when more bottles became available he has maxed those out as well. So I am not at all surprised I didn't make the top 100.

 

I'll take that into cooperation. Now how about we go toe-to-toe in bird law.

 

Yeah some people just have way more disposable income for stuff like this, I'll only be able to get 4 bottles this time for example. I dig the concept anyways even if I fall short nice to reward the die hards.

 

Success.

 

well that sucks. Wish you could have just selected max allocation and not delt with the drop downs. oh well. maybe next time. Defeted by BPT once again

 

Hit us with the stats Levi! Quickest sellout of one of your American Lambics?

 

No issues here. Well done.

 

Woo-hoo, first FF release!

 

Must not have been as much bosbes. 3 people here hitting F5 and no one able to get it as soon as 1:00 hit.

 

Had 3 people trying to get Bosbes and all struck out. Sucks.

 

Try refreshing the page frequently. Sometimes bottles get released from stagnant shopping carts and become available again.

 

Buddy just snagged 2 Bosbes a couple minutes ago. Some people letting them go apparently.

 

900+ bottles of Bosbes. Same batch size as all our other beers. Looks like if you didn't get it in the first 20 seconds, you might have missed out. Over 40,000 page views in that hour.

 

Don't give up. I just kept refreshing and got 2 Bosbes, 2 Blended Sours, a Rakau and a Blood Orange about 3-4 minutes ago.

 

I'm surprised the Tradeships are still available

 

Have seen Bosbes pop up 4 times and have been too slow every time

 

Yea, there are still ghost bottles of everything except Bosbes.

 

Same. Luckily my buddy was doing the same and got two. Think he is hooking me up with one thank god

 

If it's not fruited, people don't seem to want it. I absolutely loved White Lodge!! Top 5 new beers I've have in 2016...beat out fresh LPG in my opinion

 

So I can stop hitting F5 now? HA

 

That guy sounds awesome.

 

Looking forward to the party. Are pours of the releases typically available for on-site consumption?

 

He's a pretty cool dude. A KSU fan though...

 

White Lodge was, but not Frampaars at the last release...

 

I was one of the fortunate ones again, thankfully my boss is really cool and helped me get my allotment while we were working lol. @FFGeuzeria it appears as though going toe to toe on bird law won't be necessary........for now.

 

What size bottles are the Bosbes? Will they fit a 750 ml lambic basket or 375?

 

They are all 750ml bottles

 

You guys ever thought about selling the baskets?

 

Yea, but they are expensive. Not sure how many people would pay ~$80 for a wooden cradle.

 

Yeah I guarantee you they would sell. Corey has the side project boxes for $50 and they sell out pretty quick.

 

How was the pick up? Anybody crack one open last night?

 

The pick up was pretty brutal. I got in line at 4 and got my bottles at 5:30.

 

What was the difference between this time and the past times? Were there just more non-proxies? Or were there a lot of proxies that didn't put down the name of the eventual trustee so FFG had to go scramble and put everything together? Or did the credit card machine break down? We must know.
