2017 SARA Cellar thread

A good read on why SARA runs a great business and brewery

I stopped reading this as soon as it said that their beer doesn't get distributed. Bad fact checking is bad.

Traffic on 17 is brutal. Looking at an hour from Los Gatos, bleh!

Yeah let's discredit this entire piece because the author didn't know that some bottles of Farmhouse Noir got sent out to a few shops.

I enjoyed the read, thanks for posting.

A lot more than that has been distro'd my friend.

When I asked Adair in February, she told me

"No, not in regular distribution . We bottled an entire foudre of Four Legs Good, so we sold some to Lime Ventures. They are pretty cool about buying beer from us when we have it."

Since then I've seen two other beers pop up at Bine and Vine in SD.

It's just a dumb thing to get hung up about in the context of an article like this. They don't have a regular distro footprint and send bottles out when it makes sense for them.

 

[chemman141]

My comment was mostly in jest, however as Danny said there have been a few bottles distributed.

Whatever, we're fighting!

Speaking of distribution, I saw some SARA bottles a few weeks ago at Muted Horn in Berlin, for about €25 (just under $28) a bottle. Not bad!

Also, I loved this quote from the article:

Physical spaces matter a lot when you’re making the kind of microbially driven beers that have become SARA’s calling card. They like to refer to that style — which incorporates a mix of yeast and bacteria to carry out alcoholic and lactic fermentations — as “mixed fermentation,” which they prefer to “farmhouse ale.” (“We’re not in a farmhouse,” Paterno says.) The moniker “saison” also works.

No 2016 glass.

No 2016 glass.

There was if you like to party, it was just 64oz and metal. Insulated too, which is a nice touch.

Anybody else's yopener break on them?
The screw just popped out of mine. Saw the same thing happen to Tlo4sho a few weeks back

Mine did. Gonna get some wood glue and a toothpick :/

 

[Tlo4sho]

Let me know if they get back to you and what they say.

From YOpeners

"I haven't had any notification of that but I will replace any and all if people will notify me. Adair shouldn't have to do that. I mean it's not the first time it's ever happened but it's certainly not a regular occurrence."
