    Correct - I believe they're only selling to non-members (since members could pre-order a bottle).

    Just got a bottle, and the guy made it sound like they haven't had too many people in today.

    Neckbeards scared away because N95 masks don't work for them? After my 9th day straight of work as someone on frontlines, I was glad to grab a bottle. Also, I really like the pils.

    I'm pretty sure they didn't even announce they were selling it.... people aren't scared away they just had no idea it was happening.

    Anyone know if it lasted through today? Might go up there tomorrow if any is left. I saw people posting about the beer and assumed it was just members. Never seen them do a surprise release like this.

    They must have made a lot of Neapolitan Quills if they started selling to the public before the Ambassador preorder had ended

    Put me in the category of not enjoying this Pressed Reserve. SO intense and toasty and bitter, which is not how I enjoy my coffee. Sadly, I poured half the can out. Going to hold on to my last can for a few months and see if the coffee mellows.

    Trying a second can of Trio tonight. It has definitely mellowed out a bit, much easier to drink. Still not one of my favorites from them, but not the hot mess I thought it was a week ago.

    I also had a second can of Pressed Reserve last night. It also has mellowed a bit, but sell needs more time imo. I actually wonder what the IBUs of Pressed is. I wonder if it hoppier than I expect it to be, and if that’s what throws it off for me sometimes.

    I felt like it really started to shine at 60-90 minutes in the glass

    How would Reserve compare to say, Kittywampus? Picked up a can today.

    I liked kittywampus more but my friend like reserve more. i tend to favor beers that are more balanced. both aweome, but cafe deth blows both away.

    Just had kittywampus and while the coffee is better in reserve I found it to be almost just as thick as reserve just not as inky. Still a damn good beer that got me through the morning.
    I’m with @GuyFawkes on this one. Cafe was good for about a little over a month before the coffee fell off a cliff, cut a gas line and exploded.
