I’ve popped open BA Caffe Americano, Konisberg, and BA Moat Water so far from the last round. All have been very nice.

Anyone tried Sugar Coat yet? Sounds like beetus, scared to tackle alone.

It's definitely sweet, but IMO not too sweet. I do love those AC stouts though...

Looks like cans are a Imperial Stout with Vanilla beans, cobrewed with Voodoo

 

[FATSH1TTY]

The other releases sound pretty mundane but I bet well executed...


The bonus cans from voodoo sound tasty as well.

If no one picks this up, look into Kolo Shipping. Our old Catador trustee became a licensed shipper and picks up for CCB and Cycle and ships signature required.

 

[mixed_master7]

I could probably help out, as well, if you can’t find anything else.

 

[Jon1]

Haven’t needed a trustee in awhile- anyone that could potentially help me out by picking up my bottles and holding on to them until Hunahpu Day? I picked up most of them, I think it’s just two bottles I have left- will make it worthwhile.

I’ve had Special Socks, Snack Attack and Going Back to Tampa. All were great. And you better love hazelnut because Special Socks is a hazelnut bomb. It seems like on these collabs CCB let the collab breweries take the wheel during the brew process. What I’ve had so far has mimicked Angry Chair, Funky Buddha and JWB brew styles more than CCB.

 

[SerenityNow]

What do people think of Kolo? Anyone try it out? I’m calculating cost of 2 bottle membership shipping to be around $90, but wondering if it really is that cheap. That’s far cheaper than cost of buying 2 12-bottle shippers, thank you beers, and shipping those 2 boxes both ways.
