Perennial Sump BA Imperial Coffee Stout

Such a great beer!

 

I missed out on this one. Perennial waited till day of to say anything about it, and in the end, never announced it on Facebook, and I was checking regularly in hopes to catch it.

 

I've been frequenting Perennial for some time now and have always enjoyed the beer. After the BAA drama, I think it was very cool for the beer to be released very short notice. I caught the info on Twitter on a Friday after work. The wife and I drove over, had a pint, and caught the official release of the beer. I bought two bottles and drank two glasses when it was tapped. Great atmosphere and a truly amazing beer.

 

Yea I like the idea of short notice releases, but I work in the food industry and I work nights and weekends. Therefore, I basically will never be able to show up for a release, because I'm working. Then they sell out before I even get a chance to go there. I would gladly take a night off work to show up for a release, but I can't do that if I don't know the date ahead of time. So here I am stuck between a rock and a hard place. Their mint stout is coming out soon, but I can't afford to take off work one day for a chance they might release it that night.

 

have you tried calling the brewery and explaining your situation? I have heard a lot of these places will hold back a few bottles for valued customers if they are unable to make the release that day/night as long as they know your situation. Not saying that perennial will do this but I have heard online about some brew houses doing this. Worth a shot?

 

Just a heads up, they had bottles of this available the next day as well. It's when I picked up mine and had some on draft.

 

very true they did not sell out that night

 

Yea I heard they had some on Saturday, but I was working a double from 10am till 11pm. Went back when they opened back up on Wednesday and they were out. I was lucky to land a bottle of BA Abraxas on that days release at least. You win some you lose some I guess. I'll try that out Msulax4

 

If you want to trade the BAA for the BA Sump, I'm game. In STL.

 

If anyone in STL would like a Chicago trading partner shoot me a BM. I'd like to get a bottle of Sump and pre-trade on the BA Mint.
