I bet gregkoko bought it all...right....

Ummmmm I certainly bought a lot of it.

 

[gregkoko]

To be fair everyone around us was buying their 2 cases

 

[parkingphi]

Don't worry, not complaining. Actually love you for it .

Had Ann with a buddy last night. Way way different than I remember. Last time I had it it was 3-4 months in the bottle.

Brett had taken over but there was still quite a bit of oaky/vanilla notes up front and a ton of wine barrel came out as it warmed. Nose was all Brett. Personally think it had seen better days when it was a little brighter from the wine barbell but it's hard to imagine it is over 3 years old at this point too!

Ann was released two years ago on the 14th of this month. I know because my wife was due two weeks later with our first who'll be turning two later this month. I went to the release and my wife was a lil irritated since the cell service is so shoddy up there.

sorry, had when it was brewed on the bottle (2011).
read the bottle and thought that seemed too long ago as I was also at the release and didn't recall it being that long ago.

now I know why, the new bottle dating got me confused

Anyone know if something will replace Anna today? I have a few friends on their way up, they just woke me up pissed that Anna is sold out and nothing else is on the site. I told them that they may get lucky.

Did you name your daughter Ann?

Probably something for the early people

Nah, I didn't love the beer that much.

I've been MIA from this thread for the last couple weeks, were there any reports of Anna magnums? If so, where do I sign up to sell my soul for one?

Anyone have an idea which of the 4 "main" saisons could be up next? I got a crate that needs refilling!

I believe it will be Florence >> Arthur >> Convivial Suarez ... could be wrong as I'm basing it all off memory from recent HF tweets

I need some Clara in my life.

 

[yasky]

Clara (the wheat Grisette if I remember correctly) was a damn awesome warm weather drink.

Yes, really wishing I had one or two to open today. Low alcohol (4% if I remember correctly) and just full of flavor.

It's like Arthur lite...but in a good way.

I agree -- and like it a lot more than Arthur. It and Florence are my favorite non-barrel aged saisons.

 

[ASUBeer]

I was just coming here to ask if anyone knew when Clara would show up. I love that one. It's like a light Gueuze/Arthur love child.

 

[facesnorth1]

Anyone have info on FoFa lottery registration?

 

[MikeG1]

Still have one bottle of Clara left from last year's batch. Psyched to see how it has developed. Such a great, crushable beer.

It looks like they took the page down on ticketalternative. It had been up, but the comments section at the bottom said something about ticketing being "postponed indefinitely." I'm worried that they're thinking that construction will continue to make a festival unfeasible.

I was thinking the same thing, but my buddy was up on Thursday and asked about it. They said everything is still on, and there will still be a lotto (online only). But he didn't get any other info.

Has anyone had any infection issues with M&C 4? Another poster mentioned via BM he had heard some rumblings of a possible one, and I see a few Untappd reviews that suggest the same. Wanted to know before I send anything out so can give a heads up at least.

 

[atomicskis5]

Had a badly infected mc3, the only infected he I've ever had which was dissapointing, but my mc4s have been great

 

[facesnorth1]

It's my least favorite stout that he's made to date, but haven't had any infection issues. An infected M&C 3 would be quite depressing with the difficulty in acquiring that beer.

Vera Mae is an August release, right?

 

[facesnorth1]

Last year it was released at the FoFa in August, but I'm not sure that he's attached to it as an August tradition necessarily.
