My buddy isn't able to go by degrade this weekend anymore to grab my member bottles and others (7 total) after I stupidly told him not to worry grabbing them during the anniversary party so I'm getting worried. Needs to be picked up by end of the month. Anyone already have plans to go up and could grab? I can send a shipped with a few Jester King and/or Live Oak Hefe.

Sounds like a mix of Eponyme, Cafe Samson, and Maple Samson
 
I kinda figured that would be the case.
Same here. With the quality and availability of the Modern Times NEIPAs and my dislike of Double Stack, I will likely never need to go to a Great Notion release. The only people I know who are going tomorrow are known shitlords who are picking up to flip.

TL;DR - **** all that ****.

Not to mention Ex Novo getting in on the action as well.
 
Quarter 4 Release Beers!
The Kriekenbloesom
Keepers Beer #7

For this special release, we were fortunate to be graced with two excellent ingredients: local tart cherries of the Montmorency and Morello varieties, as well as fresh, local cherry blossoms.
We blended two years (at an average age of 19 months) of spontaneous beer that had been fermented and aged in oak barrels, then refermented it in secondary oak tank with cherries for several more months. After fermentation on the fruit, this was transferred again onto the freshly picked cherry blossoms until the desired character was extracted prior to packaging.
The final composition is distinctly similar to ‘The Kriek’ that was a prior members beer, but has the added delicate nuance provided by the flowers. Notes of cherries and the often associated spice character are dominant, with a subtle floral and confectionary inflection
As a very small blend, constrained by the amount of flowers we are able to procure and process, we unfortunately do not have more of this to share!
This beer will be offered to members in the next release, with a very small amount reserved to sell at our taproom.

The Blackberry
Keepers Beer #8

Last year, we offered several auction packages for the Brews for New Avenues charity event that included the opportunity to sit in and help compose the blend of the next batch of ‘The Broken Truck.’
When one of the supporters of this great cause could not make it to that blending, we decided to find a date to taste and blend from some other oak vessels. After tasting through a number of components, we kept coming back to a single oak cask of two year old beer refermented with Oregon blackberries. The notable pepperiness and funk of the base beer balanced by the interwoven fruit cried to be packaged as it was, and not blended. So we didn’t.
The final bottled beer is unique and special. Brettanomyces leads the show, with the sweet flavor of juicy blackberries finishing, though the beer itself is quite dry.
We are reserving a portion of this, in line with its charitable origins, to donate to Brews for New Avenues this year. Though it is not explicitly exclusive to members because of this, we hope that everyone can understand and agree that doing more for others is always a beautiful opportunity. We had hoped to have a sixth strictly exclusive beer for members on top of the four promised and the five that we have offered this year, but this feels like a better route.
To sharing, enjoying, and caring!


These beers will be available for pick up on or after June 9th!
Cheers!
