Any EF members headed up this weekend that could proxy bottles? I was supposed to fly out, but can't make it last minute. I've got a few cases. Will repay generously, of course.
 
Well those are certainly some interesting changes...I like it.

Casey Brewing and Blending Future Release Plans

We’re changing the way we are open to the public.

We will no longer be doing a public release the first Saturday of each month. Instead we will be holding smaller, intimate 100% ticketed tours and tastings more frequently, beginning in mid June 2016.

We need to make this change to create a sustainable model for the future of our business.

To summarize:
· We will NOT be doing public releases first Saturday of each month after this June’s public release
· Every visitor will be required to have a ticket to attend these smaller tours and tastings
· We are opening more often for ticketed tours, tasting and bottle sales to go at our cellar (approximately 3 times per week)
· These tours and tastings will be small, personal and will occur during our full cellar operation
· Beer will be available for both onsite consumption and to go

FAQ:
Q: Why are you doing this?
A: The current model of opening once per month is becoming too large for our family operation and we have maxed out the number of parking spots available for our current location. This new sustainable model will allow us to provide a guest experience unlike any other brewery. You will be able to sample beer, have a private tour and witness our process for yourself.

Q: When will the future openings be?
A: We will announce the dates for our ticketed model in early June for additional limited June and July dates. From July on, we expect to schedule tours 3-4 times per week, twice per day.

Q: What does a tour consist of? How much are tickets?
A: Currently, we expect tickets will cost $20 plus fees and will consist of three 4 oz pours of in-season blends and a private, small group tour of our cellar. Following this tour and tasting, guests will be able to relax in our tasting room and purchase beer from both our current and past releases for onsite consumption. Beer will also be available to go at quantities similar to our current limits at releases. The window for these tours and tastings will be 2 hours.

Q: How will this affect your current distribution?
A: We expect this change to limit the amount of beer we’ll have for wholesale distribution, as we’ll be selling more beer through the tasting room.

Q: Can my friends come and join me after the tour and tasting is over?
A: No, every adult attending is required to have a valid ticket on premise. Children are welcome. Dogs are not allowed. There are no designated driver tickets.

Q: Will you be open more Saturdays?
A: Currently we are planning on having two Saturday ticketed smaller group sessions, once per month on the first Saturday of each month. All other sessions will occur on weekdays. Depending on demand we may open more Saturdays and weekends as needed.

Q: What beer will I be able to buy to go?
A: Whatever is ready! We’ll be announcing the beer we have for onsite tasting and to go at the beginning of each week. The available beer will constantly be changing. Beer quantities will be similar to what we currently release at the public releases.
 
Looks like the weekend of the 4th will still have something going on? I was planning on being in the area then.

June 4th? Yes, that's the last of the Saturday releases, so if you are heading up should be good for pours and checking it out (unless you have a ticket in which case you are good to go on bottles).

Sorry I meant July 4th
 
I agree that a change is necessary, parking always looks at capacity. This is probably better for the other local businesses in town as well. Hopefully tickets on Saturday won't be too hard to come by!
 
It's not the end of the word if it's not open that weekend but I was hoping to get a chance to check out the operation. Have a non refundable hotel in the area the night before so I'll be in the area regardless, maybe just outdoors stuff though if they don't do anything.

If nothing else, I'm confident you'll find some bottles in town. Check out Coopers in downtown Glenwood, and check out Casey's website for a full list of where he occasionally distributes.
 
He must have had a lot of requests from beer tourists coming through during the week to move to this system, right?
 
While in Denver this past weekend for the 2 My Morning Jacket shows at Red Rocks, I was gifted a bottle of Nectarine Fruit Stand by someone I sat next to the night of the first show. While I was unloading the car getting back to the hotel after the second show I dropped the bottle in the parking lot. :(

Brutal! Great shows though. Shoot me your address and I will get a bottle or two out to ya.
