Thanks in some part to the BA thread about Secret Barrel Society, Caleb confirmed that the 2013 batch of Persimmon is also unfit for release:
Caleb said:Good Friday to you,
We openly admit we are not perfect, but strive every day to deliver to customers the best quality beer possible at all times. Since the Sour Program began, we have destroyed one bottling run of Persimmon, one bottling run of Dantalion failed to carbonate, and the 2013 Persimmon run is also of unacceptable carbonation levels to release. This really is not that much beer, and I’m glad we never sold it. We also have gained a greater understanding of why these quality fails occurred this year, and have not replicated them since implementing new practices.
We apologize for not getting in touch sooner, we haven't forgotten about you, we just wanted to get you the beer you originally won. However, it has been made clear to us there is a desire out there to swap for other styles we create.
Now for the good news:
We appreciate everyone's patience in this regard. If you have any questions feel free to email[email protected].
- We will be emailing you in regards to your redemption prior to our next release, which is expected late November/early December which is to include Cherry, Raspberry and Sour Reserve 4. This email will include a link to a website to select style choice and pickup location.
- You will be given a week prior to the standard lottery window to use your Persimmon redemption if you wish at that time for any of the above mentioned styles, pending availability.
- You will also be free to enter the standard lottery afterwards for a chance to pickup at least one additional bottle.
- You are free to hold onto your redemption, to be redeemed at a future date for any style you wish in future releases with the same process mentioned above.
- We expect the next round of Persimmon to be ready in the Spring, so if you wish to hold your redemption until that release, you are free to do so. Any remaining Persimmon redemptions not redeemed for the Persimmon release will expire. So please be aware! You won and we want you to be able to purchase a bottle at some point.
Cheers,
Caleb
