  19. What are the Variants included in the tickets?
    Double Dry Hopped Double Thai:
    We took our regular double thai and switched up the dry hopping process. We dry hopped with mosaic and citra hops and then, did it twice! The result is big tropical and juicy hop aromas that attempt to overpower the Thai citrus spices.

    Mango Coconut Thai:
    A thai style beer featuring a large amount of rice in the grist combined with brown sugar, fresh Mangos, and organic coconut flakes.

    Thai Peanut:
    Lemongrass, lime leaves, Thai bird chiles, peanut butter, brown sugar, rice, 2-row barley.

    Thai Haze DIPA:
    A double IPA brewed with Thai spices and fermented with a specialty yeast strain. We added large additions of Mosaic and Citra hops post boil as well as during and after fermentation to infuse big hop aromas and flavors. 

    Thai Milkshake DIPA:
    A Double IPA brewed with milk sugar, thai spices, mango, strawberry and vanilla bean.

    We will do our best to get you a variant of your liking but cannot be guaranteed, Variant picks are first come first serve.

  21. Will you have other bottles and cans for sale?
    In addition to Double Thai.P.A., we will also have Thai.P.A. as well as other offerings from Bare Hands Brewery only!

  22. I really wanted an allotment but I didn't preorder can I still get Double Thai?
    If you have a general admission ticket you may upgrade your ticket while supplies last. The upgrade is the difference of the original ticket to the allotment of your choice. No individual bottle sales will occur unless you are a 4+5 ticket holder at which point extra bottles are $15 a piece. You will still be subject to the same 2 variant max per person.

  23. Can I receive my bottles and return back for them later?
    Bottle pickup will be from Noon to 7pm, your bottle amounts are reserved, you will not miss out on getting your bottles unless you cannot arrive by 7pm.

    We are doing pick up little bit different this year. To speed the line we will forgo using a secondary ticket for the bottles as we did last year. You will need yourself, your photo ID and your gate ticket to pick up your bottles. Everyones bottles will be pre sorted and tagged for you. If you purchased the 4+5 option you will get one of each variant. All other option will have their allotment randomly selected. If you would like to choose your variant please be to the event early so you may swap from any remaining stock. (qty limited and while supply lasts) 

    **Any allotment holder including the 4+5 option may swap a variant however no one person may walk away with more then 2 of a single variant. (selection is subject to remaining stock)

    **If you do not collect your bottles by 7pm you will forfeit your allotment as we will not have pickup available once the bottle line closes. Please come prepared!
