    Trying to get some information about Cable Car Kriek.

    How many years have Cable Car Kriek been released? From the research that I have done there is a 2009 and a 2010. Any other vintages that I am missing?

    How many bottles per 2009 vintage?

    How many bottles for 2010 vintage?

    Thanks for any information! Cheers!

    Spoiler alert. There is no 09 CCK and there is no 09 KH.

    The only vintage of Cable Car Kriek is 2011. There are five vintages of regular Cable Car - 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, and 2012.

    Total bottle count is unknown. Sold to go? Less than 50.

    But true. Others certainly have walked out the door, but those were gifts to friends and family of Toronado and Lost Abbey. It's also believed to be by far the smallest batch of any Cable Car, as they had to throw out most of a first attempt at it. That said, the fact that it has ever been offered for sale to-go at all makes it easier to get than some of the other batches (sort of).

    From easiest to track down to hardest, it probably goes something like:
    Cable Car '12 (about 20 cases sold to go) > Cable Car '09 (I think this is the one that got sold at T25) > Kriek > Earlier batches > Batch 1

    But that's in terms of vintage specificity. It's pretty clear people want Kriek more than regular across the board, as it's the smallest number in absolute terms -- think Bourbon County Vanilla, if its production volume had been 300x smaller.

    Plus few people care about ticking all the various vintages of Cable Car, but this one is clearly a different beer.
    Scuttlebutt is that this year's is fruited, but we all know how meaningful beer rumors are.

    Not that I can recall, but it's basically worthless speculation anyway. Soonest we'll know is in August, and knowing LA lately, not even then.
