Or just go to Schramm's?

Sure, but bottle selelection is better at retail shops.

Stop at Schramm's for dat HoD pour!

 

[bigk84]

Not my neighborhood but, http://merchantsfinewine.com/ is good. Can't speak for Wholefoods but Schramm's (Ferndale) is not that far of a drive, 15-20 minutes from downtown.

Merchant's in Dearborn is about all you're going to find on the way from the airport to the city. Great selection too. As everyone else pointed out, make the 20-30 minute drive to the burbs for better retail options and meaderies and breweries.

Merchants was where I loaded up on beer the first time I had a car during Movement, solid selection there. I'm gonna just see what the Whole Foods has.

What canned seasonals would yall recommend that are on shelves right now? Really hoping to score Lilikoi, that'd be awesome.

 

[trickytunadicky]

"Movement" sounds like a poop. DEMF 4 lyfe.

See some of you next weekend at B Nektar?

What is the release line at B. Nektar Spring Fest like? Do I need to be there at time of event, an hour early, more?

You're not in line yet? You're ******. The FIB's have tent's up already.

 

[user 306926]

I don't line up for mead.

Any whispers on Kuhnhenn Summer Solstice this year?

In all seriousness, on the fall mead fest/mead day, I got there at 2 PM and was able to get every bottle except some of the Kill all the golfer variants. I wouldn't worry about it unless you HAVE to have something. I bet most of this will hit their distro if it doesn't sell out, B. Nektar is making a **** ton of meads/cysers/pyments/melomels what have you.

Nothing yet to my knowledge. Hoping they didn't forget.

Haven't seen anything, but maybe someone has some insider knowledge?

Wouldn't be surprised to see TRIPA make another appearance, although I've never understood the love for that beer.

 

[trickytunadicky]

They expanded the limits from 2 to 6. I am still unconcerned. Had a blast last year.

Just over 3 weeks away and still no info.

Seriously hate everything about Kuhnhenn except the beer.

 

[trickytunadicky]

I think I am supposed to be in town that weekend for a grad party.

Please, for the love of God do NOT bring anymore Pringles lol, that was awesome though and thank you for putting that together.

Pringles and hot tubs at every party til Pringles are gone.

 

[rjose]

This thread is pretty weak. Anyone drink anything good around town lately?

I had Paris by Brewery Vivant at OEB yesterday. Quite pleased, beats their other Saisons/Farmhouses by a mile. Hope they have plans to can and distribute some in the future.

 

[trickytunadicky]

FIB incoming for Solstice, or rather fear025 and I may make an appearance around a family obligation. 0fg about bottles, but it would be nice to see some friendly faces. Pringles will be brought upon request.

Super stoked for Schramm's Madeline.

 

[steimie]

Madeline sounds yummy.

I had to laugh when Kuhnhenn posted on FB (in response to a question), that they expect to be bottling DRIPA "later this year."

 

[trickytunadicky]

Madeline tastes like Boysenberry syrup. Would pour on pancakes.

Stopping by today for a pour after work. Anyone else heading up there?

 

[rjose]

My guess is TRIPA and Triple Bock will be the bottles, in which case I'll pass on bottles and just hit the taps.

 

[Johnnie Nepal]

Kuhnhenn has said they did not brew TRIPA this year.

Gonna try to

Good, let's hope they don't find 10 cases in the back.

BA TRIPA anyone?

 

[bigk84]

BA TRIPA anyone?

BA KRE probably, since they made an astronomical amount of it.

 

[Michigander1]

i just hope Kuhnhenn has some Play in the Hay flavors available on tap...if they can find it.

Edited because I cannot spell.
