Tired Hands Out of the Emptiness

[Max]

who's gonna be there tomorrow? what time are you getting there? don't forget, a new batch of the light that spills out of the hole in your head was tapped today. oh, and 30 loaves of bread available... 1/person, $5/each.

from facebook: Six bottles per person. $15 per 500ml bottle. This beer is the perfect autumnal digestif. Orange-hued Saison fermented in red wine barrels on local plums. As it exists, Out of the Emptiness, is a rather lightly carbonated beer. Enjoy its petilant charm now, or age for a more rousing carbonation level. 7.0% abv.

there are like 400 bottles available... 6 per person... not sure how long the line will get. Also depends on the rain/no rain factor.

4 on a work day is a killer. I'm going to try and skip out early, but definitely not before 3. I'm thinking ill still be good.

 

[ajfa531]

I'll at least drive by around 2. I'll try to remember to update everyone.

I'll be there. Hoping to cut out of work early but that still would only put me there at like 330 or so. The weather/holiday/weekday situation should cut down on the line but this bottle limit makes no sense whatsoever. Handfarm b2 was 3pp with 540 bottles. Why would this be double the limit with less to go around? I'm thinking there's going to be a lot of disappointed people later today.

We're in the same boat. The only thing I can think of regarding the bottle limit is that they really don't expect many people to show up given the holiday. I hope that thinking is correct.

Definitely possible - or Jean just wants to get through the sales as quickly as possible to deal with the Thanksgiving Eve crowd.

my beard is severely lacking, as i have to shave it for work.

I'm sure the beer is awesome, but based on the panini I had a few weeks ago the real whale available today are those loaves of bread.

ISO a bottle of this. Anyone who's going interested in trading a bottle, BM me.

 

[beachstrength49]

This beer does sound awesome and definitely ISO. Wondering if there will be anymore bottle releases close to Christmas when I'm back in Philly. Plan on making multiple trips just like last year.

There are two more "emptiness" variations that I think will make it into bottles. It would be cool if they were released around then.

just hope that it's an unseasonably warm day. don't know if i can convince the wife to stand outside with me again after it snowed at the guillemot release. i couldn't feel my toes by the end.

 

[screwyouguys]

also everyone remember bottles are cash only today at the side doors, and bread line is at the front door,

i unfortunately will not be attending,
jsut wanted to share the knowledge

i just saw the FB post a few minutes ago. looks like i'll be running out to wawa on my lunchbreak to snag some cash. and it really doesn't make any sense that the bread would be a different line.

the bread seems like the rarer item being sold today.

there's also BA 5oo5 and HandFarm b3 but those might be further out (guessing).

Sold out when I was about ten people away. I was bummed until I started to feel my toes again. Big ups to the dude dressed like an extra from a Vampire Weekend video who was offering people ahead of him in line BCBS if he could buy a part of their allotment because "it's your right to buy six even if you only want two."

I must have been pretty close to you. I was about 15 or so away when they sold out. Bummer too, since I spent an hour standing in the rain and snow for nothing. Oh well; you win some, you lose some.

Todd is the best.

Todd is the best.

sat right next to me upstairs once inside.... was all about buying some from me. didn't realize how far his reputation reached.

 

[mr15811]

Todd is just..... Todd.. not sure he will ever change

 

[Thoreau Like A Girl]

you got Todd'd.

[DaGrizz1]

Which one's Todd????

 

[Thoreau Like A Girl]

donny, you're out of your element.

 

[Max]

i wonder if we should rename the thread 'your best todd moments'. seems like people would line up.

 

[stakem1]

so um, hows the beer other than flat?

 

[xnicknj]

I had a bottle last weekend. The beer is delicious, but pretty still for now. The plum is there, but it's more of an accent rather than a major component of the flavor. It has the zesty tartness that other TH barrel-aged saisons exhibit, with a nice splash of white wine, oak, grape, etc. I like it, but I'm probably gonna hold off on opening any more to see if it carbs up a little more.

 

[lazerviking]

xnicknj beat me to it. But his description is pretty spot on. Delicious flavors, with carbonation a bit less than desired. I'm also going to wait on opening the rest of my bottles to see if it carbs up.

 

[Max]

all this. exactly what i thought. like how i let everyone else do the work and just piggyback on what is said?

 

[Ben1]

I've noticed that all of their beers bottled and on tap are super low carb. I drink their growlers same day because even 24 hours after being filled they are practically flat.

I;ve only had two of thier growlers, both 4 days out from filling, one was fine, one was nearly still.

 

[Thoreau Like A Girl]

the bottle i opened had some carbonation. this was last wednesday. might be carb'ing up now or bottle variation?

 

[Thoreau Like A Girl]

fine. if ya'll are just going to wait for other people to do all the work, i'll open another bottle soon. =)

 

[ForkAndSpoonOperator]

The sacrifices we make for science...

 

[Max]

i had a bottle the night of the release and it had low carbonation. so i'm guessing that will get better with age. or at least the bottle description says so.

 

[acurtis]

fine. if ya'll are just going to wait for other people to do all the work, i'll open another bottle soon. =)

Jean told me it was not ready to drink yet, i'm letting mine go at least another month.

The beer is not ready.
Commence spur of the moment release anyway.
The people come by the bucket full.
