T-25 Question

They'll probably have it for on-site, similar to Cable Car, would be my guess. Very doubtful you'll get any to go.

 

I would also expect it to last on draft for quite some time. I know it was a different era in beer, but T20 had to have been on in draft form for a good couple of weeks after the 20th anniversary party.

 

RRBC tapped it already. Hope it will last for a while.

 

Nice! Are you up there now? Did you get bottles?

Edit: Never mind. I just saw the RR Facebook page.

 

Roll call for Friday morning....

My wife and I (BayAreaBeers on untappd)

 

Bottles in the bag. And glasses in my gut

 

I'll be there. mutineermagazine on untappd.

How crazy was it tonight? Was it easy to get bottles?

 

Added you.

 

Yea. It's pretty crazy tonight but I think everyone that wanted them got bottles. Just waiting for the band to start

 

Just got back from the brewpub. I was waiting all afternoon (happily sipping T25, of course) for the bottles to be released. Around 7:30pm they announced bottles were for sale once the Toronado folks showed up. By this time the place was pretty packed. There were honestly about 15 people lined up to get bottles. Once they all got their share I walked up casually to the bar and bought my two. There was no commotion or hurry from the crowd to get bottles.
NOTE: This was just my experience on the first night of bottle sales. I have no idea what it will be like the following three days. Good luck everyone, it's a fine beer

 

I'll be there tomorrow as well likely a bit early with a few beers to share (Zombie Dust, Heady Topper, Shorts Anniversary Ale, etc.). Added you both on Untappd.

If anyone is heading there tomorrow and wants to do an IP trade for anything from VT (HT, HF Jimmy / CD4, Lawsons Double Sunshine), 3F (Blackheart, Rabid Rabbit, Rye'd, Rich Life) or MI (Shorts, Kuhnhenn BB4D / Dark Heathen, Founders DD / CBH / FMB, etc.) I can bring some along.

 

BUT DRGARAGE SAID

 

Tried to buy a bottles at 8:30 PM, but all gone for the day. On tap did just fine. A nice brew.

 

Please do. I'll bring some things for you. I'm not sure what, but something.
We are now friends on untappd!

 

well, looks like i'll need to get there a bit early.
see you fine people there!

 

ill be there today around opening in "ill" sleeveless shirt. say whats up if you see me

 

The line is already past the fountain.

 

Really? Wow. More than 150 people?

 

It's probably because of me. Sorry, guys.

 

yes, it probably is.

people panicked about beatification resulting in lines all through the first weekend. the supply was enough to last for weeks. prior to that, russian river made 10x (i think) the batch of framboise for a cure from the previous year. it lasted much longer than their metering period and even got distributed. row 2 lasted much longer than anticipated so they distributed it.

this is a brewery that has realized how much demand there is for their beers, and they have stepped up supply to compensate. they probably made a shit-ton of t25. acting like it's going to sell out immediately just causes people to panic, fly in, and wait in line for hours. so yeah, it's probably because of you hyping the shit out of it.

i'm half-expecting you to post that the brewery burned down and toronado was nuked so there are only 50 bottles of t25 left.

the rarity narrative on ba is a self-fulfilling prophecy.
