Had a 10/29/14 Mont Cherry last night, taste was very nice but certainly had a Plastic/latex type smell going on...

I wasn't a fan of the Peach Fruit Stand (batch 1) that was available at the anniversary release. There were some off flavors. Nothing like the most recent fruit stands which have been phenomenal.

Yeah, the second bottling of Peach Fruit Stand (Feb of 2015?) was much better. I had a "stone fruit sour" tasting back in March, and That Peach Fruit Stand was the overall favorite compared to Wild Peach, West Ashley, Veritas 013, Upland Peach, etc.

Totally agree. The second batch was outstanding. Probably my favorite peach beer of all time.

So that September release lineup looks pretty outstanding...

Fruit overload

 

[Juice1]

Girlfriend took off for the September release, I'm looking forward to it but not to all the jabronies the long weekend will bring out. Either way it looks like we gon be drowning in cherries and apricots.

 

[swivelhips1]

Yeah the combo of those bottles and the weekend will make this one pretty nuts I think. Haven't decided if I want to try and get there early, grab bottles and peace out to Rifle for a half day of climbing, or get a full day of climbing in and come at 3:45 to pickup.

In for ApriCut...

The third batch is even better right now, by a pretty big margin too imo.

There's a 3rd batch of peach fruit stand?

 

[gueuze_goon]

There was a 9/2/14, 10/6/14 and a 2/13/15.

 

[McNazz]

One of them was on premises only though, right? Or am I thinking of different fruit stand?

 

[gueuze_goon]

Those were all released to go, only On Premise only fruit stands were, I think, Apricot and Raspberry.

 

[McNazz]

Apricot. That's the one I was thinking of.

I've been eating so many damn Palisade peaches recently that everything morphs in peaches like some sort of demented magic eye painting.

 

[tcblack4d]

There was a 9/2/14, 10/6/14 and a 2/13/15.

Thanks for the heads up, didn't know how many batches there were total. I was referring to the third (most recent). It was soooo goood.

Man I wonder if I had an off bottle or something. Really didn't think that 2/13/15 was that good.

 

[gueuze_goon]

None of the Peaches have been my outright favorites (just not my favorite fruit in general compared to others), but, of the three, I enjoyed it the most by far. B1 had some off flavors, B2 was cleaned up a bit, but not totally, and B3 was perfect, peachy, juicy, nice saison base below it.

Favorites for the Fruit Stands though are Black Amber Plum, Black Amber/Italian Plum, Grape, B1 Montmorency (9/2/14) , Sour Balaton, B1 Blackberry (9/3/14), those stood out a lot. Seriously amazing beers.

I have a Casey question: how available are their beers? Not looking to land Cuts or anything, just wondering about Saison, East Bank, maybe Oak Theory? What do they retail for?

They've been popping up a lot down here recently, and I want to trade for a handful of them - I just have no idea what their availability / value is.

Thanks in advance.

pretty much have to go to the monthly releases and wait in line, or you have to go up to one of the couple bottle shops in the mountains...a good drive from denver. they dont last on shelves long. about $20 a bottle for the non-fruited stuff, but well worth it. amazing beers

 

[SecretSquirrel]

opened a Plum last Sat night... it was good but the more I drink FS I think fresh is best...

This isn't exactly correct....
Casey does distribute to the front range, and some stores self distribute him. His beer was on the shelf for over 5 weeks here in Fort Collins all under 17.99 a bottle at Wilburs. Oak theory retailed for $24 at the store I go to when they had it. Most bottle shops from West Vail to the Roaring Fork Valley are well stocked on him, my parents live a stone's throw from the West Vail shop he sells at and routinely pick up bottles. Fruit Stands do not see distribution as far as I know.. Troy is even planning a special beer to be distributed along the front range to his loyal retail accounts.

 

[Ispeakforthetrees]

Also, not gonna add to the hype but if you aren't stoked about September....you should be.

 

[Labors Of Hercules]

I'm not particularly stoked on putting up with the crowds but the beer...**** yes

 

[TDBuck]

I'm kind of wishing the trip I had just taken to Denver was during this release coming up instead. Super jelly.

 

[Juice1]

I'll be there with the GF and an 11 month old puppy that is trained to rip throats out first and ask questions later. She's a sweetheart though. I might even funnel an Apricot Cut, WHO KNOWS.

This is what it's come to...people bringing puppies to be their mules
