i think i like the change from l'brett to petite sour. we're getting a lot of l'bretts already (assuming they don't change more) and last years petite sour was one of the best. it also, somewhat surprisingly, aged really well. i only saved one and regretted it.

 

[Previously]

Blueberry Petite Sour for all of my hnnnnnnggggsss!!!!

 

[bathroomlaughter]

also nightmare on brett is underrated and i think port barrel sounds amazing. this is such a good release.

 

[Labors Of Hercules]

agreed on the NoB, port barrel sounds so good. already love that beer so much

 

[ChugLife]

Picked up my bottles today.

I have not had that many Crooked Stave beers but Nightmare on Brett (whiskey barrel aged) was definitely my favorite.

That was Grand Cru right? NoB Grand Cru followed by Hop Savant (I think the 466 variant) continue to stand out as my favorite (excluding the WWB series of course)

 

[MKtheGeneral]

The ones Adam listed are amazing. Also Batch 60 (although not Cellar Reserve,) stands out for me too.

The NoB grand cru was a barrel blend for Cellar Reserve. They released batch 2 NoB earlier this year to the public. It was labeled as whiskey barrel aged and was outstanding. Tons of whiskey goodness.

I still get butthurt every time Chad releases a beer w/o selling at least 1 bottle per person on the website. I never had NoB 2014 or Batch 60 because CR doesn't distribute here and I don't really trade anymore. Like Saison Rue and other Bruery beers, why don't they just put everything for sale on their site for members?

You have a built in buyers group of 400+ people that you can sell to w/o retailers marking up the beers and you choose to ship the beer out.

 

[Adam Jackson]

and no I don't want people sending me a bottle. thanks because I'm not really trading. it's just ****** I miss out on CS beers because they're not sold through the site.

Maybe you should use the money saved from the b60 and NoB and go buy yourself some Preparation H. Seems like you need it more than the beer.

I definitely hear you. Even as a local (ish - Colorado Springs) I kind of lucked into some Batch 60 and had written it off because what did get distributed locally was out of most stores pretty quickly.

From my perspective it seems like they are trying to keep some of their "special" releases local so that people don't only see the year round beers. Most of the stuff like Batch 60 is pretty limited to begin with so even selling 1 per member would seriously cut into the already small amount they are able to sell locally.

Just ask your trustee to grab one of each non CR beer for you?
