Another tip for the area ... Burritos Las Palmas serves incredible burritos from their food truck ... they just opened a brick and mortar in Santa Ana one mile from GBC. So get food to-go and hit GBS :)

So I just casually logged on to see what bottles are still available and noticed that they put up Sangrioro Pepa, Seldom Seen, Nectarine Island, and Rey de Oro (all limit 1) on the web store. **** yes, I do get to try Nectarine Island! There is also a tasting flight for the Q1 Celebration available for purchase so I imagine an email update isn't far behind.

Definitely grabbing the Sangrioro Pepa and the Nectarine Island, but does anyone have any feedback on Seldom Seen or Rey de Oro? I'm not a huge fan of mushrooms but am curious as to how that translates to the beer...and it seems what set the Rey de Oro apart was the dry-hop treatment which I worry may have faded over time - anyone had one lately/would you recommend?

This will be the first one like it. I don't even see a date for it yet. Looks like it's a flight of 5 (your choice from a list) for a set price. The year end party was two 3-hour sessions with unlimited pours and finger foods, but a substantially higher cost. Regardless, I'm sure it will be fun.
 
So if I bought beer right now when would they need to be picked up? (ahem EliotRosewater) Is it possible to sit on bottles and wait to accumulate a certain amount like the Bruery has done?

Also, has there been anything concerning allocations at all?

And here's my answer:

We're excited to release our first round of club allotments and merch! A bottle release party. And we also have more small format bottles on the way...
The Q1 Celebration, your Q1 allotments, and more cute little bottles!
Hay! The first allotments of 2017 will be ready for pick up on April 1. All club-exclusive merchandise will be ready for pick up on April 1 as well - that includes insulated growlers, tote bags, and glassware. We're also putting together a little release party to celebrate! We added some vintage bottles to the e-store - limited quantities! And to celebrate the first exclusive release of the year, we're throwing a bottle release celebration! Without further delay...

Q1 Allotments:

  • Gild The Lily - dry and funky mixed culture ale aged in oak barrels with California guavas. 7.0% abv. 750mL bottle. One bottle is included with your membership. We have enough bottles to allow you to purchase one additional bottle at $20 each.
  • Coulter Crisis - dry and sour mixed culture ale aged in oak barrels with Coulter pine needles. One bottle is included with your membership. Unfortunately, due to the experimental nature of this beer, we do not have sufficient bottle counts to offer additional bottles.
Cute Little Bottles: As you probably already know, we recently started bottling in smaller format "single serve" bottles (375mL). We are using this bottle format to package approachable wild ales that feature a familiar ingredient - our second small format bottle features fruity American hops!

Q1 Celebration: April 1, Good Beer Tasting Room 309 W 4th St, Santa Ana. 12pm-8pm. In the general framework of our 2016 Year End Celebration, we're bringing you the first bottle release party of 2017! The Quarterly Celebration is scaled down compared to the 2016 YEC, but will feature special draft pours, 3L bottles, unlimited palate cleansers, very light snacks, and a huge selection of vintage, current, and future bottle pours in a flight format. We're especially excited to share some unreleased single barrel projects at the Q1C. A flight of 5 vintage bottle pours will cost $17 presale/$20 at the door and includes unlimited palate cleansers and very light snacks. You may invite your friend(s), but all guests must be accompanied by a member! There are NO sessions - you may come and go as you please.

Table Pale - 4.0% abv dry and fruity American farmhouse pale ale with Centennial and Cascade hops fermented with a mixed culture.

Just me or is the extra bottle of Gild the Lily not up on the store site?
Up for me.

Damn, a case of Table Pale sounds so tempting...

EDIT: Oh also I went in person to GBC over the weekend and tried to buy a case of Lemon Season, and they said I couldn't nab the discount because it's not in their POS. Thanks golden :(

Edit: the correct person wasn't there to add it and we overlooked the case. My apologies.
