The WI Thread: FIBs stay the **** out

Next New Glarus Thumbprint: Old Bruin. Ships next week.

From The Facebook:

Oud Bruin is available in our Beer Depot starting today! Our Brewmaster Dan Carey launched his Wild Fruit Cave this winter brewing Oud Bruin, a Flanders style ale that is immensely complex – both tart and sweet. Soft toffee notes lead with a blend of Wisconsin, British and German malts that first rested in the Coolship before spontaneously fermenting on oak in the cave.

I can't wait to drive to Hudson and get a case of oud bruin!

This year, in a similar vein, Deb said New Glarus is releasing two gueuzes -- another spontaneously fermented style - one light and one dark. She didn't have a lot of technical details on them - Dan's the guy for that, and he's out of state at a barley conference - but she did say one of them is fermented with Michigan peaches. She said the tasting samples on that are very good.

"Dark" gueuze, I just went from 6 o'clock to 12...

Oud Bruin

I thought you were just pimping me, but you did the same thing, directed at no one in particular, on the other site.

It must really bother you.

 

[BobCobb1]

It's pronounced "Old Brown Dog" and it's by Smuttynose. Mods should move this to New England thread.

Well if people really insist on being crazy about hoarding it they should at least refer to it correctly.

From Central Water's Facebook:

"First, mark your calendars, because on Thursday, August 7th, we andThe Sugar Maple in Milwaukee will be having a party to welcome some wonderful Midwestern breweries into our neck of the woods, includingSurly Brewing Company, Toppling Goliath Brewing Co., Perennial Artisan Ales, Indeed Brewing Company, and maybe a couple others. It will be awesome!"

Does that mean perennial is coming to WI? Toppling is expanding distro? Or is there no implications other than some of their kegs are coming to town?

1. Probably?
2. Doubt it.
3. Highly likely.

I really have no information on any of this.

 

[nodamagedone]

Sounds like CW asked those breweries to bring some extra kegs along for GTOTMW weekend and open them in MKE.

Here's what I heard from my (generally reliable) sources regarding the New Glarus GTMW release, all rumors at this point:

• Peach only
• It was in the bottle as of a week or so ago. Not sure when exactly it was bottled,
• 3 palates of cases, roughly three or four courses high, maybe 13 or so 12-bottle cases per course. 1500 bottles seems like a nice round number
• Possibly only Saturday release (I don't believe this one, but time will tell).
• FIBs not welcome to attend

Rumor on BA is 1500 bottles of Sour Peach PER DAY, Fri, Sat, and Sun. Limit 2 per person per day.

Seems more plausible than other rumors I've heard.

1500 bottles a day? That's like two jegross hauls.

I'll be there all three days. Unfortunately, New Glarus, WI, is lacking a solid homeless population. I still have faith that after day three I'll be coming away from New Glarus looking like Rempo at Upland.

 

[willseph]

What are the odds there will still be R&D left around 1pm on Friday? I'm in Fondy for work and will be driving back to FIBland Friday morning.

Hard to say exactly, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were leftovers at the end of the day all three days.

Then again, I also wouldn't be surprised if it sold out by noon.

I will be surprised if there are 750 people in New Glarus' parking lot before 10 am.

 

[IHaveABellyButton]

Thy are also suppose to be handing tix out at 8:30 so ppl can go eat breakfast and why not

 

[sherm10161]

Yeah, FTFM.

I will be surprised if 750 people have picked up their numbers at New Glarus before 10 am.

 

[willseph]

Good info, I like the ticket idea. Hope the local breakfast joints are ready for Neckbeardapalooza 2014.

 

[sherm10161]

750 tickets gone by 9:25. I am surprised.

 

[IHaveABellyButton]

Were there more than 750 in line?

 

[sherm10161]

Were there more than 750 in line?

Nope. People just left.
