That's gotta be the most awesome listing of breweries in one event ever. But I live in Maryland, so there's that.

What would WWBR, WWBO, WWBY, and WWBB take to trade for at this point? Would mid-level Cantillon like St. Lam, Vignerrone, LP's, etc. get it done or would we be talking tougher stuff? I've had a couple of these, but would like to do a side by side with the whole group if they aren't crazy hard to trade for.

I still have most of a set left (missing WWBI because it never hit distro in Co. Springs). I am definitely not looking to trade it, but I feel like at this point it is going to take more than mid level Cantillon. All the bottles you listed get made every year and although they are tough to come by and very good beers, there is always next year. With the WWB series we know that these particular bottles will never be made again so from my perspective it is going to take something just over mid-level Cantillon. I feel like you are talking more about the Rarer HF stuff, BA dark lord sort of level.

This was by far the best beer event of last year. Sad to not be able to go this year.

 

[air]

Agreed, lucky folks who are doing CBC this year. Only reason I'm not going to CBC is the conflict with Coachella, but no question I'd do the price of admission again in a heartbeat. Hope the event happens again during GABF.

I'll be there. Flying in on Wednesday and staying till Sunday. During that time I'll be drinking all of DenverBeerDrinker 's beers.

 

[Der Fuchs]

gentlemen, i am looking for info on some of the regular release CS stuff from last year. Can anyone tell me how many different batches of hop savant, surette, st. bretta, and NOB came out last year? Also, were there any other beers released that weren't available to CR members besides WWBI/WWBV/walzblood? any help would be appreciated. I started another thread in a drunken stupor and wasn't too clear about what i was asking so i thought i would ask here too. thanks.

[DenverBeerDrinker]

St bretta is the 4 seasons (so 4 different kinds)
Hop Savant I think was 3 (Galaxy and then two other experimental hops just can't think if the numbers off the top of my head)
NOB - one version out that was technically this year and I think there was only 1 last year.
Surette - not sure on the number of batches. 9 is out now though you can find some of the earlier ones still for sale
WWBV was the only WWB series out last year.
Walzblood was available (1 bottle) to members from the first year. Not available for the general public or other members
Vielle had a couple different batches. You can still find a couple different ones. Including the Holiday
Batch 60 is out this year.
Ferus Flexus is a collaboration with Upslope.

Somebody else might be able to add something but I think that covers most of it.

 

[FishPondManager]

Only other one I can think of is Zekes. 32 cases sold at Mile High Wine and Spirits. I think it was 3 bottles per person.

 

[quirkzoo1]

Umm, does Elaborative 1 count? Collab with HF and Jackie O's. Bottled at HF I believe.

what is that? never even heard of it. how hard do you think it would be to land? a few friends and i are trying to put together a tasting of all the different 2013 batches.

and what about l'brett d'or? was their only one batch each of the regular and dry hopped?

i'll take it, i know jackie o's did at least 2 other beers with CS yeast too.

L'brett dryhopped was 2012 correct?

2013 was Blackberry, Plum, then later regular.

I think.

You might be able to find a bottle of Zeke's. Good stuff.

L'brett did have a bottle out. Might have been two. Can't remember the date of the first batch. But neither one of those was dry-hopped. The dry-hopped version was a CR release in 2012

 

[FishPondManager]

Yep, dry hop lbrett was 2012

Surette aged in a fresh whiskey barrel with oranges. One of my favorites. Definitely the most barrel character of any CS beer other than the new batch of Nightmare.

I'd trade you one if you didn't make fun of me so much

Yeah, I was confused about the dry-hop as they had it at last years WTF. Thanks for the clarification.

You know I love you.... and your family. Make this happen and I will leave you alone forever! I already owe you one from your visit, so pm me your address and I will send you a box to guilt you into sending me one.
