2019 SARA Cellar Thread

We had our last Sunrise a year-ish ago and already felt that dip. Still good, but it was one of the first times I really got Tim telling people not to age his beer.

IMO their fruited beer doesn't really improve with age (whos does), but their unfruited stuff really shines with 6+ months on it.

This was fun. Cellarman (b2) is still pretty damn good, but Southern Sunrise is definitely starting to fade.

I wish they'd re-brew it. I've only had it once, but it was maybe a top 5 SARA beer for me.
*edit* (Southern Sunrise, obvs)

Wasn't one of the cellar beers last year essentially a re-brew of it?

Thousand Summers? That'd make sense, because that was ridiculously good too.

*edit* No I was way off, def not 1000 Summers. Wasn't off about it being delicious though.

I think that may be the one I was thinking of. Similar beer but nectarines instead of peaches, right?

You're thinking of Bridges Built. And I believe we were told that Bridges saw oak but SS actually saw spent wine barrels? I don't know. Someone with more info please confirm

The cherry wine barrels are a big distinction in Thousand Summers.

Oh, Keith recently confirmed there'd be a mellow anniversary celebration at both locations from 14th-16th. Just special kegs/bottles, it seems, but sounds like a great time!

Great label!

Great label!

man i wish this was included in our Q2 drop, this sounds delicious and i'm not making it out there any time soon

It will certainly be easier to trade for than a 7. Since it has a label it is probably a larger batch, since it has no fruit it will probably stick around for a bit.

Where in the bay are you located? I am driving up Friday and staying with my buddy in SF that night then driving to Chico the next day. If you're anywhere near I would be down to snag you some.
