Anybody at the release tonight? How is it this year? |
|
And sold out according to GLBC twitter |
|
All of it is sold out? Lol - did they cut production by 90%? |
|
sold out of bottles. Still on draft. |
Originally posted by fatknitty Such poor planning, or a sorry excuse of marketing to try to fabricate hype for it? So what if it was available for a whole month last year- it still sold. No way in hell I’m paying $40 just for an opportunity to buy an already expensive beer. I suppose they’ll advertise how this sold out in a day and raise their release tickets to $50 and the price of the 4pks to $40... They’ll have to make a much better beer if that’s the case. |

Not quite, from their standpoint it’s better to sell out in 2 days and have limited production than to sit on all that inventory both in barrels from making the beer and bottles after it didn’t sell well last year. The hype train passed for BA blackout about 5 years ago.. They’re evaluating production based on sales which is a sound business practice, unfortunately it doesn’t directly translate to the rabid and often insanely stupid world of beer. |
