Comments on: Lost Abbey: Earning my Pint http://thankheavenforbeer.com/2010/03/15/lost-abbey-earning-my-pint/ We love beer, we thank heaven. Begrudgingly, we admit we are not the authority on all things "beer," but we know our fair share. Enjoy the good brew with us; correct us where we're wrong.

Was unable to make it down for the release, too bad. I hope there’s some left later on. Between moving and other activities it was just too busy. A tap Framboise sounds great, too…

I saw that the Lost Abbey had tweeted about having a 1,000 boxes to fold.  I’m not intending to brag, but Andrea and I make a great team. We killed 200 or so boxes in a very short time.

I hope that I'm not scheduled to work. We'll see. However, my real motive for doing it was really just to feel like I was working at your brewery. I love taping boxes. I love mashing in. I've worked out of a brewery at one point but they had q.c. issues that caused them not to be able to employ people. If you read our site much, you'll know that Nate and I intend to open a brewery at some point. I just love being involved in the whole process. Thanks for letting me know that I can get that stuff from the tap...I'll do everything in my power to make it down. Sage,

Half those boxes are already filled with Angel's Bourbon and he other half are getting Amorosa in the next week. Come back on April 3 for the release and I'll make sure you get what all that taping was for fresh from the taps. Your help was seriously appreciated.

Just being in the mix would be cool. These guys are smart to barter with beer fans. Do they need anyone to sweep up? I’d love the chance trade my time working in a brewery for a taste of the product.

I need to try last years though. Bourbon is better than the Brandy in my opinion. I need to try last years though.

It's exactly how I want to be as a brewer. I had fun just chilling and making boxes. Also, I'd like to note that if you want to come and stay for a few days, you have a place to stay at my crib. I would still love a bottle of Grand Cru. They were out of it, so I was out of luck. Dave,

It was the bourbon one that I drank at the brewery. They do both, so keep a look out for it. P.S. It was the bourbon one that I drank at the brewery. They do both, so keep a look out for it.

I worked about an hour and folded about 200 boxes out of the 1025 that they got. They posted a pic and said that those who helped had some beer on the way. I hope that includes me but if it doesn't...I'm totally fine with it. The experience was great and I felt like I was working in the a brewery. It makes me want to open one so bad I can't stand it.
