    Does anyone have a guesstimate on how long this will be available at the brewpub? Should it be available all month long or will it sell out in a few days? I really have no idea. Thanks in advance!

    Maybe 'dicks' was a bit strong. Speaking as someone whose family has a history of breast cancer, all I am trying to find is some concrete information which will help me in my intention to travel up there and support this obviously worthy cause.

    To play devil's advocate, Natalie et al. should recognize the fan base is often from out of town and people take this shit too seriously and would like some info. I don't think a FAQ page with such stuff as how long does this usually last, what were the limits like last year, price, etc. etc. is outside the realm of reasonableness.
    With that being said, this is a beer for charity. So maybe some should chillax a little.

    I'll be there at 11 and report back regardless, but I would be shocked if it does not make it until Friday, especially if they have a 2 bottle limit that some people have suggested hearing.

    You know, you could have easily spent the time you spent writing this post emailing them and asking them details. That would be more constructive than jumping on here and calling them dicks.

    is it just me or are you bitching about a beer where the sales go to a good cause??

    your family has my sympathy but this still doesn't excuse your previous post...

    Hey, as I've already said, I shouldn't have used the word dicks, it was a casual, thoughtless expression- my apologies.
    Please exchange 'dicks' for 'less than helpful' and read my post again- I still think my points are valid.

    So, BAs, who is there and enjoying a nice Framboise? Any news on the bottle limit front? Any HopFather flowing? I'm going to be there late this afternoon and just want a little inspiration. :slight_smile:

    EDIT: Well, great minds think alike apparently.

    This year base beer is a blend of Temptation and Beatification. Limit will be reduced even
    more tomorrow.

    Natalie told me it was Beatification. Maybe she was being overly general in saying Beat but she specifically said Temptation and Beaidication blend. Said Vinnie tasted and tweaked it about a week ago.
