May Release

"The Cut: Balaton Cherry - $36 - Limit 1 per person

The Cut series is Oak Theory aged on whole CO fruit, more than twice the amount of Fruit Stand. The Cut: Balaton Cherry is 2 barrels of Oak Theory selected for their unique funk profile and aged for over a month on 2.5 pounds of hand-picked (by Troy) Balaton sour cherries from Hotchkiss, CO. We've been patiently holding onto these cherries since July last year, just waiting for the perfect barrels to present themselves. We were very tempted to use them in Fruit Stand, but held off and waited for Oak Theory to come to fruition. We're glad we did! This is the best beer Troy has ever made, hands down. "

A little bummed on that $36 price tag. I understand lots of hard work (almost all done by Troy himself) went into this beer but at the same time, thats 2.5 saisons I could drink instead...

 

[gueuze_goon]

I will buy you 3 saisons for your one Cut.

 

[swivelhips1]

I mean I am going to try it first before I do anything rash. My main point is that this isn't an any given Tuesday table beer like saison can be (not that I am saying it was designed to be either).

Thanks for the post, where did this info come from, if you don't mind me asking? Thanks!

It came from the description of the May event on their FB page

I like the sound of that.

Only 100 bottles of The Cut: Balaton are being released this weekend. Combined with the EF and pre-sales, we're looking at a bit over 200 bottles going out in the wild.

 

[swivelhips1]

That would imply every EF member didn't buy a second bottle of the cut which is surprising.

 

[McNazz]

And who in their right mind wouldn't! That would still leave it below 300 bottles, still pretty damn slim.

Can't wait to try that drank.

I believe at one point in the FB group Troy said there were 20 or so cases of each The Cut (Cherry, blackberry). Which would be ~240 bottles, seems reasonable.

 

[swivelhips1]

Yeah I am so curious + excited to see what its like. Too bad I can't make it out to Glenwood till the June release. Going to be tough hearing about it from y'all without being able to try any.

Why do people do this? Lol

they would do it at HF if they could, just saying...

 

[bsc]

I mean anywhere. And then posting it on the interwebz to create the impression you NEED to be there at that time.

Would love to see shawnee's face if that happened

I think he put the kabash on that after one of the stout releases when people show up early.

It gave me the opposite impression. Stay the hell away.

 

[theothermatt]

We got here at 545. Were about 20th in line.

That amazes me. Well, not really after March, but I fondly remember last September being 20th in line at 10am.

How exactly did he do that? Rope off the parking lot/force people to illegally park in the streets? Honestly curious

 

[bsc]

Told people that they wouldn't be allowed In the brewery period.

Gotta get there early to get a magnum to trade

FIFY

 

[Labors Of Hercules]

Cut and DH oak theory were insanely delicious. I feel like DH oak theory blend 2 was a huge step up from the first blend which was awesome. Fun release. Not ever showing up at midnight for a magnum

 

[omgeezo]

Hey CO folks- please let me know if you have an extra cherry fruit stand, I need one to complete a trade

 

[gregkoko]

Any stores in Denver that may have Casey on the shelves? Friend is going out for work and is interested. They distribute the saison (and east bank)?
