SA Pumpkinator Release

Anywho, back to Pumpkinator.
Shamrock's in Humble posted on Twitter they have it on tap. Heading there after work.
Only place on this side of town I know to have it.

 

I'm assuming not since they haven't posted anything on Twitter.

 

I was there about an hour ago, didn't immediately see it out on the floor, but didn't ask or look too hard.

 

I would skip Shamrock's for this. They want $12 a pint! Ridiculous!

 

Yes, I was.

 

I've got some people in Singapore looking for a couple bottles. Anyone know where I might be able to locate some on the west side of Houston?

 

Was just there and Joey said no go. Apparently the Uinta stuff is selling briskly too.

 

Ruining beer with the foul taste of plastic.

HEB where Fry crosses the 99 and Kroger where Mason crosses the 99. Two among probably many with stock.

 

I dont remember seeing it, but how many cases of this was produced?

 

I haven't seen any figures either, but maybe finally enough? Although of course that's a matter of perspective... If the store a block away still has it, it's EVERYWHERE but if you couldn't find it nearby Monday night, the hoarders have struck again and wiped out the entire supply! I have to admit taking fiendish delight in how readily available it still is, knowing that all these wankers who dipped into their savings to buy loads are going to be stuck with it, lucky to break even over a long time if they can even move it at all, since most folk have already got what they wanted. Tales of loose seals and grim aging prospects only add to my schadenfreude. I pray this will serve as a lesson to the hoarders and maybe curtail some of this behavior. I doubt it but I can dream.

 

Randall's in the front of Kingwood still has about a bit more than a case left. My friend picked some up.

@pheealzabub @Zepp1978 Last year we produced 313 barrels of Pumpkinator compared to 610 this year.

Though I'm not sure how barrels converts to cases!

 

Holy fuck. Last year was "twice as much as before" and now this year is pretty much double THAT lol - If you think about it that's about 4 times as much of 2011 and 8 times as much of DR9.

Will it just become a full blown seasonal in 4 packs next year?

 

IIRC, each barrel is around 75 750ml....so if 610 bbls, then around 3700 cases?

Big guesstimate on my math, so, yeah.

 

I bought a case Monday for me, and friend, and my brother (4 each). My buddy picked his 4 up already so I have 8 of the 12 left and wanted to wax them after hearing about compromised seals. Of the 8 I waxed yesterday 4 bubbled a hole in the wax. I shook all of them prior to waxing and found no leaks.

 

1 barrel = 31 gallons... 31 gallons = 3,968 ounces... 3,968 ounces / 22 oz bomber size = 180 bottles per bbl x 610 = 109,800 bottles / 12 = 9,150 cases.

That doesn't take into account casks, kegs, or spillage. That's a shitload, lol.

 

So what youre saying is, with that being 1500x the cases of rumpkin we'll probably not see that here?

 

Huh? Rumpkin /= Pumpkinator. For one it's a $12 12oz bottle of beer... 24 per case.

I fully expect to be able to buy Rumpkin this year.

 

I just gave away all my Pumpkinator, hahahaha!
Hoarders can eat my shorts.

Math! I did the math back a few pages but based on bbl count from two years ago.

 

Yeah don't listen to me, lol, I was thinking in kegs, not barrels. Only off by like 6000 cases. Give or take. NBD.
