Smog City Appreciation

Agree 100% with @UnknownKoger. I showed up at 2 and waited about 15 minutes at bottle pick up. Had this years vintage and last years of IW, and both we're tasting great, but I enjoyed '16 a little more.

 

Just got called to work out of State, no time to pick up my bottles before and will likely be gone till after the pickup date. Im really bummed!

 

arrived at smog city around 12:30... went to the back to pick up my bottle of the '16 wishes. they still had 2 cases of '15 wishes so I grabbed one of those as well as a '14 the nothing. probably waited 15-20 min max? the regular line was about a 15 min wait as well with a 3 taster limit. the '16 wishes is delicious!

 

Just contact them. I'm sure they can work something out.

 

IW tasting great!
The Nothing though, totally different from what I remember, not digging this batch.

 

I felt that it was really sweet this time.

 

I am having a hard time finding a reason to not just drink that 4.5% Something From Nothing goodness all day

 

How were the lines looking at the tail end of today? I'll probably be by tomorrow around 3-4pm. What do you think I can expect?

 

I showed up at about 2:45PM to pick up my bottles, no line, the entire transaction took about 3 minutes.

Needless to say, I am very impressed by this release.

 

I walked in at 9:10. Went straight to the back bar. Shot the shit with Ryan and Josh. Picked up my bottles. Had a taster of 2016. Drinking so nice. And now I'm back home in my living room. Easy transaction is an understatement.

 

I honestly couldn't tell you what the difference between the '15 and '16 Infinite Wishes were other than they were really good beers.

 

I feel like the chocolate presented itself in very different ways between the two years.

 

I was there from 6-7 or so, and considering everything going on, couldn't have been a more relaxed experience. A lot of people there, but both lines moved quick and the expanded space in the tasting room allowed it to never feel too crowded.

 

I felt '16 had more barrel presence, where '15 was damn good but not as strong on the barrel as '16. Maybe '15 had mellowed out a little with a year on it.

 

Do they have iw on tap for non-bottle buyers?

 

Yep, '15 and '16 on tap for all.

 

Im planning on it but wasn't able to find an e-mail on their website.

 

just curious but did IW eventually sell out?

 

Bottles are sold out

 

IW '16 was tasting pretty great, but honestly I think Spittin' and Cussin' stole the show for me.

Really tasty AWA, tasted almost like pie crust and cherries.
