    OK. Here it is. Thank You Allan goes on sale at the brewery tomorrow at 9am. $10 from every bottle goes to the Dian Fossey Gorilla Fund. Do what's right and come buy some beer and support our animal friends. Our hours for Thursday and Friday are 9-5pm. Thank You Allan is our barrel aged farmhouse ale (fermented with ale and brett yeast aged in french oak Syrah barrels). There are 250 hand numbered bottles. 9am is the opening time for our loyal email subscribers. 10am for everyone else. Thanks for buying our beer!

    Going to be tough to make it there with this storm coming tonight. I hope they don't sell out before I make it there!

    They posted a photo on Twitter of the bottles. I can't tell if it's a 16.9oz bottle or a 750.

    As soon as I post that, I hear from a reliable source that they are 500ml bottles.

    16.9 according to the label. expensive brew...but i'm sure it'll sell out

    $25 for a 500 ml bottle is most likely going to be a pass for me. I like gorillas but not that much.

    I go to all the releases I can in Portland...but $25 for a 500ml... I just don't think I can do it. Cheers to all who go! ...ISO.

    No big lines this AM during the snow storm, but seems to be selling steadily. This will definitely sell out but maybe not today given the inclement weather. No bottle limit. Peeper and Tom are also available at the brewery (just FYI). Cheers.

    I got bottle #13 and 15 shortly after they opened. Going to hold off opening until the weekend (...when hopefully it'll be too late to buy more if I really like it... :wink:

    How many were left (could you even tell)? I'm interested although can't make it to Portland. If anybody wants to do an in-person...maybe at Kate Day, let me know. I have a 4pk of Bourbon County I could trade.

    I love MBC but I cannot say this was worth the $25. Bottle #76.
