Maybe it will be ready just in time for pickup at Volo's cask ale days?

Given the amount of work that Ralph and the brewers will be doing that weekend, I doubt that he & Perry will want the extra headache of having to store & distribute the Tsarina to people.

Plus there's the fact that Saturday is already sold out, and Sunday may do so as well, so anyone who has an order in for the Tsarina but misses out on tickets to the cask fest would be out of luck.

Plus there's the fact that I intend on drinking a lot of beer at the fest, and I probably won't feel like carrying home a case at the end of the day. :lol:

Plus there's the fact that I'll be in L.A. during caskfest crying that I can't attend. Merde.

I see a couple of ratings (very positive) on Ratebeer already...

Those ratings are well deserved. I'm not one for fancy descriptions, so I'll just say it's delicious and I can safely say that nobody is going to be disappointed. I have to add, it's blacker than black. How much blacker can it get? The answer is none. None more black.

It was an added treat for the Judge Fest. Thanks again, Perry!

It can't be blacker than Hotblack Desiato's spaceship! 8)

-----

It was a ship of classic, simple design, like a flattened salmon, twenty yards long, very clean, very sleek. There was just one remarkable thing about it.

"It's so ... black!" said Ford Prefect, "you can hardly make out its shape ... light just seems to fall into it!"

Zaphod said nothing. He had simply fallen in love. The blackness of it was so extreme that it was almost impossible to tell how close you were standing to it.

"Your eyes just slide off it ..." said Ford in wonder. It was an emotional moment. He bit his lip.

"Look at this," said Ford, "look at the interior of this ship."

"Weirder and weirder," breathed Zaphod.

"It's black," said Ford, "Everything in it is just totally black ..."

"It's the wild colour scheme that freaks me," said Zaphod whose love affair with this ship had lasted almost three minutes into the flight, "Every time you try to operate on of these weird black controls that are labelled in black on a black background, a little black light lights up black to let you know you've done it. What is this? Some kind of galactic hyperhearse?"

The walls of the swaying cabin were also black, the ceiling was black, the seats - which were rudimentary since the only important trip this ship was designed for was supposed to be unmanned - were black, the control panel was black, the instruments were black, the little screws that held them in place were black, the thin tufted nylon floor covering was black, and when they had lifted up a corner of it they had discovered that the foam underlay also was black.

Sounds like quite the exclusive little stout tasting group going on (not unlike a "No Homers" Club)...the question remains, when do the rest of us and our hard earned $75 get to join in on the reindeer games?

Get it at BeerBistro perhaps? Nothing wrong with Perry doing some advance promotion - or so I assume...
