The Veil Brewing - Richmond

It really depends what you consider "better". They have a lot more fruit in them, to the point that NNAA is basically a slightly tart fruit juice. That makes it better in the "more (hops, abv, fruit, sour) is always better" sense, but it doesn't really make it a more enjoyable beer to drink. Just more likely to impress all the other nerds at the bottle share.

 

Havent had Never Gonna Get it but the double version was the best gose I have had.

 

Agreed with beernuts. I think a lot of this has less to do with "best goses ever" and more to do with trade value right now. For my money, I still think Triple Crossing's fruited berliners are a better beer all around. NNAA became the one everyone sought out. It was one of the first double fruited and flew out of there - same release if I recall, Tuesday before Christmas.

But even so, twice as much available and the same limit as before (2pp). Not to say it will last 2x as long, but if they sell out before 6:30PM I'll be shocked. More so because that means they got 500 people through line in under 2.5 hours.

 

Ah ok. Some are, some aren’t. Never Aloha’s single version is way better than the double but NNGG and NNAA B1 anyway were definitey a step up from their single versions.

 

Never Never Forever Forever is a step up from the regular version. Probably the best fruited sour that Veil has done and one of the best AWAs of the last year period.

 

Whoops, forgot about that one. Love it. I mean, I still love the single but damn.

 

Line 1/2 way to the next block down Marshall. Opposite direction again due to construction In the parking lot so don't show up expecting drafts in line while you wait after open.

 

Sucks for two reasons - 1 you can't drink in line and 2 I've adjusted my measuring of the line length based on where it is in the lot. On the other hand, pretty easy to just say "it's a sh*tload of people already."

 

Oh wow - shoot so if I am not in line yet then not shot of getting any good stuff?

 

You should still be fine, at least for NNAA. There are at least 500 allotments, maybe 300 people in line from what I hear.

 

NNAA sold out at 8:20, last person to get it probably got in line around 7:45.

 

If that’s true, I did it all wrong. I was in line at 4:45, got cans at 7:15. There was a solid still slow line behind me but you could be right.

No beer in line - least fun release ever. But credit where it’s due, limits were right in that nothing was gone when I got up there after waiting.

 

I'm at least within 10 minutes or so on the time the last person to get beer got in line. I got there at 7:25 and got beer at 8:05, and I'm certain it sold out at 8:20. So if it sold out 15 minutes after I got my beer, the last person probably got in line around 15 minutes after me. Not a bad wait for people who came after 7, but it was definitely cutting it close and I'm sure there were a few people still in line when it sold out.

I agree about the limits, stretching the supply through basically the entire night of service is about the best they could have done.

 

Wasn't questioning your intel by any means! I/m just jealous of folks who spent less than an hour in line and still got everything. Roll of the dice that late but paid off for you guys for sure.

It just felt like the line moved slower than ever. I went in and grabbed a pour at one point. While inside I saw a guy at the can register request samples of all 4 beers, then place his order for the maximum allotment of each beer individually after he tasted each sample. Stuff like that did not help the line move but goes to show how nice/patient the Veil staff is.

 

"Thank y’all for your humbling support yesterday. It meant the world to us! We have SOLD OUT of a few cans from yesterday’s weekly Tuesday can release.
We will be making a post around 1pm for our daily can inventory info post, so stay tuned.

We made a small miscalculation in terms of our release schedule during our equipment upgrades that we are currently working on. We wanted to give you an early heads up on what the next few weeks are looking like for us release wise. Here are some dates and loose info on what’s being released:

~TUES 12/26: 3x can release

~TUES 1/2: 2x cans and 1x bourbon barrel aged high gravity beer in 500ml bottles

*FRIENDLY REMINDER WE ARE CLOSED ON SUNDAY 12/24 AND MONDAY 12/25*"

 

Hmmmm.....so sold out of what exactly? Does this mean nothing's left?

 

NNAA and Sugar House are gone for sure. WB and IdonteverEVER, not sure.

This is pretty nice of them. I love that there's a sort of outline even if they aren't saying exactly which is dropping when. I can feel pretty sure Circle of Wolves is either 1/2 or 1/9.

 

It says sold out of a few cans so some of the cans are left. Someone on btv said both idont & white Bugatti are left.

 

Thanks

 

anyone know anything about the pallbearer beer?
