Sour Swap #2

[coldcrash]

My recipient is receiving a few localish and maybe one regional sour that I know doesn't distribute near his state.

I think it's great that some of us are researching distro/access of their recipient. When researching on beermenus or seekabrew, it's probably wise to investigate how close your recipient is to neighboring states as well.

I've been consulting fellow beer geeks in my recipients state to make sure my box is right on! I've seen some seekabrew blunders in the past

Ditto here.

Neighboring state of GA gets Allagash stuff and Westbrook, but my contact in Atlanta is not going to be able to make any trips to FL until after the shipping deadline.

In other news, I found out that there are at least 4 microbreweries in FL making sours. However, at this point, none get bottled, and all sold through tasting room only: 7eventh Sun, Funky budda, Rapp, and Wakefield. Wakefield is doing a collaboration brew (January 2014) with stone that might see mass production and distro. Hopefully as these breweries grow, so will production and distribution. Funky Budda sells kegs and plans to begin bottling soon, looking toward finding where to buy a keg.

Onto the good news, CCB has their new seasonal Humidor series release called American sour. It says April release, but it may be out now. I'll need to check into getting some (a lot) of this. I hope I can get it before I have to ship.

Regardless, I have some good stuff to send on hand now, which might be hard to find for my recipient, and I'll fill out the box with other bonus stuff that I know cannot be found: CCB, Founders, Brooklyn local.

Mine is gonna be tough but i'll make it happen. My favorite sour producer is in the same state and he's next to the state of another fine sour producer. Just hopingto get stuff he's never had

 

[ledhead72486]

Yeah this is going to take some work but it will be done.

I know I'm untappd friends with some of you but maybe if everyone posts their untappd name the senders can look at what we've had? That could help too.. Just an idea

Are you guys ok with receiving 60oz of different sours from one brewery?

Personally, I wouldn't have a problem with that. Not sure how everyone else feels.

 

[mikeysab]

I'd be fine with that.

 

[TrickyDick]

I just started my untapped account and honestly don't really use it.

I wanted to say that its confirmed, limited availability of Jester King here plus limited availability of Prairie via the local World Of Beer (which also sells package) , and also Evil Twin. So far can only see their Saisons. I think they have Black Metal on tap plus some other stuff. This is a promising sign.

I do have at least one sour on hand which I know is not distro in CO, plus several on the way.

I'm fine with that too.

Side note on Colorado distro - Russian River does distro here, but it is hard to find their sours. Hopefully that makes it easier for some.

While we are at it, though I've only logged about 5 beers on it, my untapped is trickydikc. Yes somebody else had my handle so I did a switcheroo at the end.

I placed a special order at local mega mart liquor place for three cases of CCB humidor series American sour ale. Not sure when it'll be ready to pickup. Releases in April. Not sure if it'll be ready to pickup so probably won't be in time for deadline.

Boss.

 

[TrickyDick]

Also met up with my Atlanta contact and told him I was looking for some Allagash and Jester King sours and Westbrook Gose if he could find any. Probably won't see him again before the deadline so again, I'm going to go with what I have so far.

According to Where the wild beers are . com, and seekabrew, Brooklyn Brewery isn't available in CO, and it is listed as a sour beer. I had it long ago, but did not seem to recall it being sour. Maybe minimal funk. I bought a couple bottles today, one to try out, and if pucker worthy, will save it for the box.

Going to swing by the WOB and grab some funky saisons for me and the box in the next couple weeks.

So I should have legit 60+ oz sours and fill out the box with funky saisons and partial brett fermed brews that are not available to my recipient.

I don't think the Westbrook Gose has been released yet for this year, but Westbrook does have a bunch of funky/sour beers. I can confirm Brooklyn Brewery does not distribute to CO.
