Casey Brewing and Blending thread

[Labors Of Hercules]

Does Troy brew the wort himself?

I actually don't know. I just know its brewed at Roaring fork.

"We're releasing our Side Project Collaboration today called Leaner. A leaner is when a peach is so juicy you have to lean forward or it spills on you. 100% Oak Fermented Saison fermented with both Casey and Side Project's cultures. Aged with over 3 pounds per gallon Flamecrest Colorado Peaches. The Saison we both brewed was a higher gravity version of our house Saison recipe. So this beer is basically a higher gravity version of Casey Family Preserves but with Side Project's cultures. Noticeably more acidic. A great showing of both our cultures.

For the public, anyone holding a ticket to the sold-out release today willl be able to buy 2 bottles at $30 per bottle. Glasses available for $10 a pour."

after spending as much as I did last year on every release..... boy Im glad I didn't drop a chunk of change today even though a lot good sounding beer getting released today...

 

[Labors Of Hercules]

People are already going balls deep for this leaner. I'd be interested to see how someone that has a chance to taste it at the release feels. Love the label

So I guess you're not going? Bummer. Was hoping to get your thoughts on it.

The trade offers are tempting for one of mine, but I'm just going to drink one and give the other to a buddy who hooked me up with Casey stuff last year but isn't in EF this year and couldn't make the release. Some good offers out there though.

Sounds like you are not sure

Ha I told my buddy we should trade one and then have a share with the beers we get from that plus the Leaner. Up to him though if he wants to bottle it's his.

I hear it's delicious.

the taste of SP hype is always delicious...

 

[SourMilk]

I don't know what SP hype means, but okay?
I'm just talking about beer, not hyping anything...

it's a collab with Side Project and there beers are usually pretty hyped up and sell pretty high on after market sites and trade very well as well..

 

[SourMilk]

I don't pay that much attention to the after market and trading, thanks for explaining.
It looks like a great beer, I just hope my friends will share when I get back to town!

Tallboys or GTFO.

How did the beer taste tho? Anyone? Bueller?

Here's a review from the DBT facebook group.

"Leaner. It's absolutely amazing"

 

[McNazz]

Leaner was delicous, all hype aside. If you were a fan of Apricot Fruit Stand then you'll love this beer.

Guess I should trade mine. Apricot FS was the worst

Sounds like my beer "reviews"

Here's a little more descriptive one:

"Great balance between fruit and acidity, but quite a bit more acid than I've gotten on troys other beers. Very dry."

Hopefully it's not too acidic as I really like how Casey beers aren't overly acidic, but I like some dryness in beers like this so who knows. Glad I get to try it at least in the near future.

Edit to add I'm really excited for the grape beers. Should be fun to try those.

Not surprised to hear it's very acidic. The majority of Side Project's 375ml fruits are acid bombs. Sometimes the massive fruit helps cover it. Other times it's Missouri Crooked Stave.

Except Crooked Stave is better and doesn't take a shitload to land.

I totally agree. Some of the SP fruited stuff is tasty I just personal think it's hard to drink a lot of it.

 

[Labors Of Hercules]

I was thinking if the acidity lies somewhere between Troy's beers and Cory's beers then it will be pretty damn tasty. If it has that full blown lactic bite of a lot of the fruited SP stuff I've had it might be a bit much.

Truth

 

[austinbridges]

Is anyone heading to casey before the next release to pick up their member bottles? Will send a nice thank you box if you can grab mine as well

 

[purplewindex]

Definitely isn't an acid bomb like SP. It was very fruit forward with a slight acidity more than the majority of his beer but less so than apricot cut is drinking now. Great stuff.

I'm going to be heading out to Steamboat in February. From a quick bit of research it appears Casey will not be open in February?

If that is the case what is the best spots to hit on my way from Denver to Steamboat to try and find some bottles? I will check back in February before the trip too but just curious if I need to plan any detours on my way.

Not opened in February. Coopers in Glenwood Springs seems to be the place. That isn't on the way though.

Release was awesome! Glad to be a part of a good one for my first time at Casey. I will be back in March for sure!

Thanks everyone for the tips on food/lodging in the area, much appreciated.

Cheers!
