2018 SARA Cellar Thread

im very curious about how similar or different Orphanage and Then Again are

Orphanage costs significantly more.

 

[iong516]

the description for orphanage doesn't say barrel aged I think but idk how else beer would be aged

The label info says orphan barrels and blend of barrel aged saisons.

 

[KevSal]

couldn’t wait

seriously good, the funk on this is the real show, which i bet will only get better with age. got westly and orphanage on deck.

it feels like christmas 4 times a year

Is it bad if I kinda hope not? I'm planning on going down this weekend and would prefer not a shitshow.

Definitely won't! I'm probably going Sunday but if it's Saturday I'd have to leave pretty early.

Anyone have any tips on figuring out which batch of cellarman I just traded for? It is not the current batch and the cap says rustic?

 

[iong516]

Run a search in one of these SARA threads for Cellarman. We hashed it out this or last year in detail. I think fogindex posted it.

Guess I should've waited until this weekend to go down, oh well!

 

[anvindr]

i like the label on woven

 

[user 306349]

any Cellar members heading down this weekend and able to pick up the newest club allotment for me? my usual proxy isn't going to be out there for a few weeks and I really like the idea of taking a Westly to the dome on my birthday in about two weeks. I will send you a styro shipper, labels, PayPal for the extra club bottles, and thank you beers in return.

Westly is rich and has that bitter apricot skin flavor going on. WA is a jam bomb.

Westly will need some time to integrate. That, or it will go the way of Fou and get more sour. Hard to tell, but I also preferred draft WA vs. the bottled Westly I had the same day two Sundays ago.

But the Recency on tap was better than it all. That **** is liquid gold.
