Was not nearly the turnout I expected. I did not have my name drawn but the person they called wasnt there either, I was drawn second.... Woo hoo, finally got a bottle!

Re: Utopias
They did say they had alot more names entered in the draw than actually showed. I had one guy there "offer" to sell me the bottle if he won for a "substantial" markup. Told me he was planning on drain pouring it and selling the empty bottle on Ebay. I am going to guess he didn't really research that too well as they are going for less than purchase... Really glad he didn't get it

Re: Utopias
Glad you were successful in the purchase! I was expecting to hear from my local store that mine was available, but nothing yet. Also, I did get the dreaded phone call/email saying my order didn't go through, but I believe my first one failed and second was good. Who the hell knows, this is all a big mixup.

Re: Utopias
Well, you would get to bring up in every conversation from now on that you drank a bottle of Utopias. If being insufferable is important to you them it might be worth it
On tap: Hopped Mead, ESB, Schwazbier
Coming up: Altbier
Fermenting: Maibock
Planned: NEIPA, NZ Pils, Oyster Stout

Re: Utopias
I bought it @ $140, but $200 is quite the jump for me, so not going to bother. Also, I bought the bottle, but haven't drunk it yet. Haven't quite found the right opportunity. I think I have one lined up in Feb to at least put a bit of a hurt on it.
If anyone in HRM is keen on getting one, and doesn't like to idea of playing "wait and see" at the NSLC on the 19th, EMAIL/text me ASAP, and I'll buy it @ PEILCC for you. I'm on the island for 3 more hours...
I suppose now that I've announced that, I may have become insufferable, or enabling others...

Re: Utopias
No word of a lie, I still have the original bottle I mentioned above. Unopened. Haven’t found the perfect time for it, not sure there ever is? I’m dumb.

I paid $20 for a Westie 12, would have paid $50. I’m sure there are people out there that think that’s crazy too.
