And where does regular Origins and Raspberry Origins fit in here? I guess those aren't included allocations.

Raspberry origins is at the top, I don't think regular Origins is included in Cellar reserve.

I also am assuming that Cherry Bretta = L'brett d'cherry? otherwise that would seem to be both of the TBD beers.

Someone said they had L'Brett D' Peach on the taproom a week or so ago, I wonder if thats the same as "apricot" L'brett

No surpassed I'm a *******. Edit: although, in the quote, it page breaked weird and showed it at the top after the user name / post count so that's not surprising.

Thanks, bathroomlaughter!

Does Origins see distro? Either way, does it stick around for long? I'm hoping to find a bottle or 2 at the brewery/bottle shop when I'm up there, next month.

2 batches so far, I am pretty sure at least one of them hit distro but don't quote me on that. Seems like production has really been able to ramp up lately so I would guess that distro is possible on a third batch but I haven't heard anything about a third batch being released so I don't know if it will be out next month.

2nd batch definitely hit distribution last year, right around GABF in October. Not sure how long it was around though.

quirkzoo's daughter once shared her cheese and crackers with me at a release. Highlight of the year.

 

[DenverBeerDrinker]

Origins will hit CO stores but be limited like it's been in the past. Not sure how much if any will hit outside CO.

I'm stocking up. It's one of my favorite

I'll be surprised if it isn't around for at least a couple weeks at the tap room. Seems like distro bottles of there stuff sales quickly.

l'brett plum is so good now

I'm a little confused. Are all the allocations ready for pick up this weekend or do they stagger them?

 

[DrLoveMD]

As long as you RSVP'd they will be ready on Saturday. If you miss that opportunity, it will have to be later in the week.

The first 4 of 10 allocations are ready for pick up this weekend.

Can't believe I forgot to order more Cherry and Raspberry Origins yesterday...

Cherry wasn't back on sales yesterday. I thought it was Blackberry and Raspberry.

Yeah that's what I meant... Bad memory. For that matter I forgot to order more Cherry also when that was available.

the absence of 1st quarter beers and the diacetyl bomb surrettes and vielles i had ~3 months ago have kinda soured me on this reserve - no pun intended (i still havent had my bottles of the first allotment shipped to me).

hoping the beers are good enough to get me back on the CS train

I wouldn't say my opinion has soured, but I've definitely found it easier to exercise more restraint this time around. I still have high hopes for this year's allocations though.

yeah i dunno. high hopes here too, but im already thinking im gonna be one and done with the CS reserve. with being in SARAs cellar and now the de garde berliner keepers, it seems like the decided third wheel

 

[MKtheGeneral]

I'm really hoping the "later" release helps them release some bottles without diacetyl potentially making this year's offerings better than last. That, and the Passion Fruit and Blueberry, offerings have me very hopeful.

Are memberships transferable?

This first release is basically the same time as last year's. Peach Whiskey Surette had some diacetyl issues upon release.

I hope it isnt an issue this time. All the beers from last year cleaned up really nicely IMO. It's not cool though to spend this kind of dough and then have to wait 3 months to drink the beers.

6 months to get the beers and then 3 months to drink 'em. Definitely agree.

I don't really care about waiting until June. That was expected.

I'm both - I suppose that makes me doubly masochistic.

look into it and let me know
