    I only clicked on the full allotment. I made sure it was empty before I started. But you are right. They should let you checkout with what is available. No worries though. Hopefully that will get fixed in the future.

    I went back and tried the individual bottles and some how, some way, even after the cart kept telling me everything was sold out, got charged for a Vanilla and Cocoa Nib Sleeping Forever and Eternal Slumber. Heading there Saturday, so that's a plus I wasn't expecting.

    They said they only had a few of the "full allotment" options available, it was more of a test this week. Easier to just add them individually, this week's SF's all stuck around for an hour and 2 of them are still available even now. Pretty smooth.

    They are doing the best they can at the moment under the current circumstances. Grab what you can and be thankful they are still open and producing great beer.

    Did you sleep in? I still have not yet ordered any of the Anniv releases but casually check to see how long they are lasting. When I looked at 8:05 in NFK they were still showing.

    Personally, though, it's probably good you didn't get them. I snagged cans when it was released in May. The beer was thick, syrupy and had absolutely no head. I split a 4pk with a buddy and glad I only ended up with two. My understanding is the blackout cans are the exact same batch so wouldn't hold out hope it's any better. Probably beer they reserved for draft and since this has stretched out they just opted to can it and try to add more hype to it with a different label.

    That beer would have already been kegged. I suspect they were going to release this all at once with limited 4-packs of the new can art. Instead, they split the two in hopes of holding some sort of in person event.

    Either way, confusing to say the least since they confirmed it’s the same beer that was released.

    **THIS IS AN RVA ONLY RELEASE**⠀

    Quy is an Imperial Stout brewed in the loving memory of our friend Quy Phuoc Pham. If you’re part of the Richmond beer community you’ve felt Quy’s friendship and impact. He was a pillar of the Richmond beer community and we honor his legacy with one of his most beloved styles of beers. 100% of the proceeds go directly to Quy’s family - his wife Suong and his two children My and Vy. This iteration of Quy is aged in Laird’s apple brandy barrels for 26 months then conditioned on Vietnamese coffee, Ugandan vanilla, and triple barrel-aged maple syrup. Exploding with flavors of moist coffee cake, tiramisu, and refined brandy. 13% ABV. ⠀

    For anyone considering buying tickets tomorrow, consider donating directly to the charities and don’t support this bullshit.

    The Veil is only donating the cost of the tickets to charity, the bottle sales will not be donated. You are literally making a donation on their behalf to have the “opportunity” to purchase something at an outrageous price.

    Starve D info finally dropped on Untappd:

    A Blend of Imperial Stout Aged 13-15 months in Bourbon and Laird's Apple Brandy barrels conditioned on Virginia Clover, Honey, Madagascar Vanilla & Marshmallows.

    Two thoughts on this:
    1.) Will they shit on the NFK crowd and make this a RVA only release?
    2.) Not too sure I'm feeling the Clover and Honey additions, this is sounding on the sweet side

    Probably so, we seem to be the B- Veil location. haha.
    Yeah what is the deal, they must have gotten a 2 for 1 deal on AB barrels. The rato for the anniv bottles was a bit heavy, Quy, new Curtains is AB, and now these.

    Was really surprised to see it for Starve D, first time a Starve bottle has seen the AB treatment. I know Lairds is VA based and The Veil does alot of work with them but I don't really understand the heavy lean on using their barrels unless like you said they are getting a really nice deal on them or Tarpey has a soft spot for them. Have not seen any other breweries utilize AB barrels as heavily as The Veil. I will say though, of the AB barrel aged offerings I have had from Veil and others, it seems like The Veil does them a notch above the rest. This years AB SF was one of the best released I think and this years AB CoW is incredible. My only gripe is when they throw a bunch of sweet adjuncts on top the already sweet notes the AB imparts on the beer. All of that aside it looks like a rather strong list of bottles and my wallet and liver are in for some abuse. Most excited to see Pallbearer return so quickly, will definitely be stocking up on that one.
