    So, who bought all the Bourbon Barrel 1st Nail bottles? And will you sell me one?

    Anyone know if Fremont will have these as well?

    1. Hoarders. 2. They probably would rather hide it in their closet for life then sell it to you. 3. Yes

    I stole some of Bebeau's glass. It was awesome.

    No bottles for me, but there will be lots next week at the brewery.

    I guess there were only three cases sold last night at Pine Box. There should be a good amount next week. Probably cheaper, too.

    Not that I want to start a mad dash to the brewery, but do you have a scoop on when it will land? I'm heading out of town Wednesday night and I have beer anxiety that I'll miss it! ;-)

    They said "a week after the Pine Box" release, so that sounds spot on.

    Pinebox really couldn't handle that crowd yesterday. Would have been nice if they did smaller pours to let more people try the rusty nail too.

    The main floor was a madhouse, but we got a table up above and had a great time. The amount of glassware they went through was absolutely insane.

    I find it bizarre that they were as unprepared as they were. Ran out of glassware, pours of Rusty Nail were way too big for the small amount they had, etc. Not like the Pine Box folks don't have some experience with this.

    After Hunahpu's Day and yesterday I'm considering just giving up on any and all draft releases and just sticking to being a hermit and drinking all the shit I have in my "cellar". Really frustrating to stand in line for 30 minutes to get a beer to be told they sold out but didn't bother announcing it or removing it from their digital board. Oh well, luckily I got to try it and hopefully Fremont will put it on.

    I even asked the waitress why they still had Peche n Brett and Rusty Nail on the taplist long after they blew. Oh well.

    How was it? Hell, how was the second nail if anyone tried it? I tried to order the second nail twice. The first time I received what I assume was the 1st nail batch 2 and the second time I was told they were out although it seems to still be up now.

    It was alright, nothing to write home about.

    I am kinda stunned at how poorly managed the event itself was. I've been to the Pine Box on other busy nights and things seemed to go a lot more smoothly, not sure if it was just an off night, new staff, or what.

    I loved Rusty Nail, thought it was one of the best things Fremont has ever done.

    Yep, hands down one of their best beers. I was talking about the 2nd Nail from 10 Barrel.
