What's the buzz on Flora w BBCR?

I absolutely loved it. Raspberry for days. Definitely not overpowering where you can't tell an awesome base beer is under there though. It's really, really good.

 

[dabaloons]

Makes sense. I can't seem to find anyone that's willing to give any up!

Most ( keyword Most not all) trade offers I have seen are under the it is 4 per person and it still on the shelf assumption so I can give up all the beers collecting dust in my cellars.

Can we call it FloRa?

Suprised no one has posted they opened a bottle yet. Really good. Juicy light and refreshing. Slightly bitter in the back end. Lemon, kumquat , pomelo. Would bang again. Thanks rwitter

My only "complaint" is I could get 250mL of any HF shelf saison for $1 more. Same reason I don't buy much crooked stave...

HF saisons are basically the best value in "single-bottle" bottled beer. Maybe the best value period for tart/funky saisons. Unless there's a really good can or 6-pack option that's slipping my mind.

They put out half a dozen Anna mags when I was there last Friday. Got a laugh out of Phil when I asked to buy "one giant bottle of Anna please".

Every Saturday? Fiance is going to go nuts if true

should be going forward... maybe AutumnBeerLove can chime in... but I can vouch that they are great oysters

nothing will beat free oysters and a keg of LPK at the vip anniversary party a few years ago.

Probably not every weekend. The folks at Sweet Sound deliver to Parker, but not every week. If they have the time on a Saturday, then they'll set up at the brewery.

And yes, their oysters are delicious.

Leaves of grass 5: farmhouse ale aged in barrel with oyster liquor. You're welcome guys.

AutumnBeerLove Do you have foresight into if Flora BBR will last through the weekend? Thanks!

I didn't eat oysters before this event.
I didn't have any that night but they were handing them out to VIP wristbands the next day because we didn't eat enough apparently. I had a plate dumped in my lap so I figured "why not?" After my first one I was filled with regret for nomming them the night before too.

I'll be up there first thing Thursday morning. My family lives 2 hours away so heading up to their place wednesday night after work. I doubt Flora BBR makes it that long, but I can always dream. Hopeful most of this week's release is still there.

Pause was taken, boundaries were reconsidered, and lots of fun was had.

 

[PepeSylvia1]

Might be going there friday AM would love to get some Flora. If anyone is there later on thursday I would love an update. It really is a 9 hour detour from my current Friday plans LOL

 

[Sean802]

I hope nobody shows up in Saturday because it'll be so crowded. I'm such an idiot for offering to bring growlers down for Christmas..

Go at 4pm.

I did this the Saturday before Thanksgiving. I showed up at 4:45pm. In and out with 21 growler fills, bottles, and on-site pour in time to make it to Parker Pie by 6. Drinking my pour of CD15 was the most time intensive part of the trip.

Ran into a lot of familiar faces. Had a deliciously clear pour of CD13, reaffirming it as not only my favorite in the series, but one of my favorite beers ever.

Good times turn n burnin with a few friends.

Agreed. Had it last trip and was blown away. Citrus/lemon up front, into the canteloupe, melon thing with great balance. The atmosphere probably adds a point or two, but just amazing.
