T-25 Question

I would be really surprised if there are as may bottles of this as there were of Beatification (12,000), if only because of the required volumes -- these are 750s and those were 375s, so you would need twice as many barrels, which by calculation would be at least 75 -- and that's not including the kegs and 3Ls. It might help to explain why we haven't seen Temptation in awhile, but RR's board says Temptation is coming soon.

We'll know more by the end of the weekend. In terms of to-go bottles, I would be surprised if Toronado offers more tomorrow than RR is in total, even if it's just to keep a big stash for on-site.

 

Is that barrel PvW 23?

 

Any limited amount of 3 liter bottles?

 

No sir.

 

I saw a picture of Natalie holding one at last night's party, but it doesn't surprise they aren't releasing those in the wild.

 

The "commoners" will get none of that action.

 

Vinnie and Nat like to pour the 3L's...its kinda their thing.

 

My wife and I just left and are heading to lagunitas. Compunction was absolutely amazing. Big light fruit with tons of flavor. Great beer. T25 is like a supplication and and a consecration made sweet love and birthed a 7' track star that runs like the wind.

 

Fresh compunction is a big favorite of mine. I really hope they have it at Toronado tomorrow. If not, I hope it sticks around until HopTime Harvest goes on -- I'll be heading up to get some of that.

 

It really is an amazing beer. I was crazy flavorful.

 

Compunction available in growlers? Going up tonight or tomorrow morn.

 

Unfortunately not -- they don't growler any sours, sadly. Hopfather, on the other hand...

 

Oh! Its a sour! I'm even MORE excited then. It only said "blonde" on RRBC.com... I'm probably going to gravitate straight toward that one...

 

Yeah, it's pretty mind-blowing, especially when fresh. The fruit is SO intense.

 

Yeah, no growlers on sours. Hopfather, left with 2 growlers. Yes, better than Row 2 in my opinion. More creamier, more fruitiness.

 

Heh, I've got two growlers that have been sitting empty (previously: Defenestration and Row 2)...getting excited to fill them up. I wish there was a way for me to teleport to RR, I hate having to drive back.

 

Also different styles.

 

I have this odd feeling you love Row 2. Call it my Sixth Sense. You are subtle, but I am picking up on it =)

 

My feelings are irrelevant. I like Pliny better than Row 2, but comparing them is stupid, they're not the same style. I think saying "Parabola is way better than Pliny, more barrel flavor" makes as much sense as saying that Hopfather is more hoppy than Row 2. No shit it is. Compare it to Blind Pig.

 

Yes, just stating my preference. No need to argue one way or the other. I just really liked hopfather.
