That label doesn't mention the almonds but in the note from Cory it seemed to be a clear point of emphasis

 

thanks! i think you posted that label before.

 

“…When first brewed, this was the first time we had used almonds in a beer. The flavor of almonds is very hard to extract while using only natural ingredients (no extracts were used in this beer, only real, slivered almonds), so we experimented with "overdosing" the initial beer with almonds and Ghanan Cocoa Nibs and then allowed it to rest in the barrel to soften and develop…”

 

Yea it was a story when they were resting it on almonds, they mention it being an impy stout

 

Terminus (BBA) / Crusher packages are live

 

And sold out.

 

Well, I got the notification that they were sold out at least.

 

I got the notification. Terminus sounds awesome, but not much interest in Crusher after looking it up. Indifference won out.

 

Was this a surprise, or announced? I wasn't planning to purchase anyway, but just curious.

 

unannounced

 

I'm always fascinated by the number of people that are just 'available' to get a notification and proceed with an order when something like this is unannounced. From posts above, sounds like it was only available for a very short time. I mean, I don't really do social media (and thus don't have notifications), but even if I did...On any given day there's probably only a 30% chance I'd be available. The probability that I'd actually get the notification and see it and have the ability to then pull the trigger so quick is a much smaller percentage.

 

I'm just glad this time they only packaged it with one saison instead of 3. It's ridiculous to pay $200 for 3 white labels and a 375mL stout.

 

Can’t speak for everyone, but my work essentially requires me to have my phone within hands reach at all times, so it’s not unusual for me personally to see these things pop up and be able to react quickly, particularly with Instagram post notifications turned on. Only takes one to two minutes tops before I’m back to business.

 

I work from home - 2 computers, phone around me. I’m not working every minute and it’s unusual that I miss a notification unless IG is being funky.

For me it comes down to do I care enough about the beers plus what goes into it - the race to buy, finding a proxy, etc.

Here it was reasonable, but ultimately not worth it to me. I’m not one that needs and or wants to chase every beer so I’ll live another day.

 

kind of tells me they must not have had a lot.

 

shit, you’d be lucky with white labels. they’d be $15-20 less than Crusher

 

Anyone know what the breakdown was price-wise for the Terminus package? Couldn’t find an itemized cost for each bottle anywhere. Safe to assume $40 for Terminus and $35 for Crusher?

 

That is correct. Both bottles of Terminus were $40/each to la coterie.

 

And to think, I’m not even upset about missing the LC timeline this morning. No fomo = no care.
