The Crooked Stave Cellar Reserve Thread

Just so I don't screw this up...

We are guaranteed the opportunity to buy 1 Cherry and 8 Grand Cru's until May 9th, right?

Correct, you are guaranteed the extra bottles if you purchase them before May 9th. If there is a limited amount (like last years second round of Persica purchases) they would indicate it like this:

"As a reminder, the remaining bottles at the online store will go on sale TOMORROW, October 21st at 12:00pm MST:
- Persica Blend #1 (4 bottle limit)
- Persica Blend #2 (4 bottle limit)
**Sold on a first-come, first-served basis**"

I emailed Nick and he said "it is a select blend of golden sour barrels that we've held back for Cellar Reserve."

You have until 1-2 months after the end of the membership. They want you to pick them up sooner but I think you have until March 2015 to pick them up this time around.

The first bottle sale usually has limits set so everyone could max. Then there's often a second sale for any leftovers.

No. If you want full allotments you will want to buy sooner than later. They had bottles sell out last year before the second release.

I personally cannot remember a single allocation selling out last year during the initial on sale.

The L'Brett Plum sold out before everyone got their first allotment

Truth.

Y'all do what you want. But they do not put up enough for every member to max out on the first go round. At least not for every beer, and there is no way of telling.

I remember it not going up for second sale, but don't remember anyone getting shut out of extras. I always bought right when they went up. If anyone is concerned about them running out quickly they should just email Nick or the cellar reserve email. I'm sure they'd let you know if you could hold off until a paycheck came in or something.

myself, libbey, and a few other folks did a side by side blend 1 and blend 2 persica on monday. neither had any diacetyl, b1 was softer and had more juicy fruit to it whereas the b2 was significantly more acidic and less fruity, both were really good.

 

[doobiegoobie]

not that anyone is going to, but don't forgot about the sale. lbrett dcherry is still on!
