Rain Check

Hey all,

First off thank you all fro coming yesterday for the Kate release. There was WAY more people here than I would have never thought. As those of you with a rain check know, we came up 120 bottles short of the 900 bottles we were going to because of equipment/time restrictions of the Portsmouth Brewery Bottling line (aka one head Malvico filler). Those of you with your rain check come on in on Fri (6/26/08) between 11:30am and 2:27pm to claim you Kate. And then after 2:27pm we go back to the old school first come first served for the rest of the Kate until it is gone.

I got to run.

Cheers,
Tyler

    Will IPC members with rain checks be able to get 4 or limited to 2? Thanks.

    I assume you mean Friday the 27th? Any idea how many rain checks you'll be filling, of the remaining bottles? I'm coming out from NY Friday, but probably wont be there until 8ish. Given that you sold 780 in an hour, doubtful I'll be seeing any by 8. How are the kegs holding up?

    Huh,
    this is contradictory to what the guy working the stairs told me. He said there was no more bottles and would be no more.

    So I'm guessing that people will start lining up at 8:30 on Friday in the off chance that there are some bottles left after the rainchecks are taken care of?

    Too bad folks who were refused a number at or near the release time weren't offered a rain check :+(

    Yeah, I have to agree with that. I got there at 2:15ish in hopes of getting a late number and was told they were done handing out tickets.

    I feel lucky to have gotten a golden ticket so i'm not feeling the way the rain checkers are but remember: KATE is being released again in JANUARY 09. Hopefully, on Bush's last day in office--we'll have much to celebrate!!!

    I'm interested to see if Tod and Tyler will make known the exact release date in January the same way they did for the June release. It obviously worked out well, but I imagine January (assuming good weather) may be more chaotic since every now knows how quickly 900 bottles can be sold.

    Thanks so much for making Tuesday orderly and enjoyable. It's clear that you guys put a lot of thought into this and it really showed.

    Cheers,
    Jason

    Hey Tyler, can you confirm that Kate is tapped out? If so, what is replacing it?
