Is that origins batch one?
You got some purple stuff on your lens!
Glad it all arrived safely. I got your end of the deal too, I just haven't taken a picture yet. Can't wait to tear into the DeGarde beers! Thank you so much!
How does one apply or whatever is needed to join for 2015? Their website is so out of date its not funny. Also, whats the cost of being a member?
I believe it is now done by lottery when memberships become available in October or November. Cost for 2014 went up quite a bit. I think it was $375 or so this year.

It is around $375, I don't quite remember. You get 2 375 ml bottles of each of the 10 CR releases throughout the year included in your $375. So it is expensive to join, but this year we got a long sleeve thermal shirt, a 40 ounce metal powder coated growler, and 2 pieces of glassware also included. After returning members sign up they have a lottery you can sign up for online and then they draw however many winners, I was lucky and won last year.
You also get the opportunity to buy extra allotments of the beer at $12.75 per bottle throughout the year as released, so far the limits you could buy of extra for the 7 that have been released were: 2, 15, 15, 20, 10, 10, 8. I have pretty much maxed out but some went to trustees, plenty have gone out as extras and a few as trades. Drinking a bunch and aging a few. Worth the money IMO, the beer is top notch.
If it was blueberry petite sour you had I think that is one being released in this saturday's allocations.
I just got back from there and I was a little underwhelmed with everything except Lagunitas, Russian River, and The Rare Barrel (none of which are in San Fran). However, the Mikkeller Bar SF anniversary party was legit. Tried Fou Foune and a 1998 Drie Fonteinen Oude Gueze.
Nice! I was at Mikkeller that night too. Missed the fou foune unfortunately. Sounds like you made your way to the sour room for that 1998. Which breweries were underwhelming in the city? there are a good amount of solid, but nothing special breweries IMHO.

I guess this is more of a gift than a trade, but it's not available to purchase anywhere yet!
Probably the freshest heady i will ever see, only 7 days old.

Hate that all we find at liquor stores in Philly is liqour. I'd love to find even a high mark up four pack again.
Or a normal priced beer once? Say....a $20 4 pack of BCBS instead of $10 singles. Philly bottle shop prices are f'd
In my experience, buying bottles at a bar are cheaper than a store to take home.
Is that hard to find? I think i have some at my local packie not sure on the price, but it doesn't seem to be moving... I'll have to check

It's released once a year and totally epic, especially the variants. I'd pick up a four pack in a heart beat
Damn, BCBS and Spencer Trappist right next to each other. I need to move to Maine
