Re: Samuel Adams Utopia 2015

Nothing on my end. I almost forgot it was supposed to be coming. I suspect my bottle will be long gone by the time it arrives. Did anyone even get any for of confirmation email regarding their requests for glasses?

Bunch of Keep6 offerings showing stock again. Most notably DDC Moralite and Sentinelle and Evil Twin Low Life. I just ordered a dozen beers from Half Hours on Earth otherwise I would've partaken in this round of availability.

I take my comment back that others considering a bottle wouldn't regret their purchase! :lol:

Re: Samuel Adams Utopia 2015

for high extremely abv beers, this is by far the best I've had....enjoy! Agreed. I cracked mine this weekend and absolutely loved it. This bottle will not last long. I had buyers remorse when I went to pick it up and saw all the fantastic single malts in the same price range, but in the end the fla...

Re: Samuel Adams Utopia 2015

Yeah in-store were given a glass, but I suspect the online/phone orders will be exactly like the last time(s) and you will have to email Moosehead (SA's Canadian distributor) to get a glass (unlike the US, the bottle wont come with a voucher). Email is shannon.mulligan@moosehead.ca Email kicked bac...

I too would appreciate any ideas... I have a 12-bottle Uhaul styro shipper whose box is basically held together exclusively by tape. I've searched high and low for a box the same size, and even tried making one out of a large piece of cardboard, but the structural integrity is just not there. I am ...

On a related note to this - I received a styro container to ship back to a friend, but the box is pretty beat up. It's 16"H x 14"L and 9.5"W fits 6 bottles. Having a heck of a time finding anywhere that sells a box of these dimensions...any tips? I don't need to buy a "kit"...

I'm a fan of Beau's... A tad pricey, but as others have posted I enjoy the range of styles they release. The flavour profiles are far from "average" IMO... Then again 90% of my ratings on BA are +'tive deviations from the mean, so I'm not overly critical. I guess I just love all beer...

just came back from Winnipeg. their LC was blowing out DeuS for $14/bottle. hah. The timing of your post is perfect. I've got family visiting Winnipeg this weekend, and the MLCC closest to their hotel also happens to have the most stock of what remains. I've got them grabbing me a few bottles since...
