Cable Car Kriek is it just a circle jerk?

Um...what?

CCK exists. Extremely small quantities. If you're looking to try some good American wild ales, this is not where to start. Beatification is totally delicious and something like 100x easier to get than Cable Car (let alone Kriek). This is especially true since Beat should get rereleased this year.

 

90% of ISO:FT these days is just monkey see, monkey do. I guarantee most of the people ISO'ing it have no idea how limited it is.

 

Approximately 48 bottles of CCK. Is what I have heard. Tryed to get a bottle of CCK multiple times now for my 30th B-day bash in August. Failed after 3 ISO posts. People who have a bottle of CCK that is available to trade want 1:1 rare sour whalez in return. It also makes me sick to see BA who got up to 4 bottles of CCK and posts a pic in the hauls forum to brag; chances are they are holding the multiple bottles of CCK hostage...sad, but true... Whalez are for drinking/sharing not hoarding...

 

Posts like this normally don't bother me don't know why this one did.

Someone got 4 and that affects you how exactly?

You know they aren't going to share with their friends how exactly?

And the hauls forum is a place where folks go to brag, and you are upset because someone is bragging?

If your post was humor and I didn't get it, sorry, sometimes humor is too dry even for me. Otherwise, I suggest that you are acting a bit entitled.

 

As someone stated, many who have CCK want rarer sour whallzz in return for it. After seeing some ISO:FT's offering all 2012 BA DL's for a CCK and CC...that tells me either people don't like those beers offered (stouts versus sours) or the few CCK that were released are essentially off the market now.

It just so happened the guy that traded me mine was iso Blabaer. I traded a 2012 750 plus five other brewery only/limited released beers (sought after and tried and trued rating wise...not the new "flavor of the month" if you will).

Also, when you overvalue your own beer that doesn't help your case (here is from your last ISO:FT posted yesterday at 4:30pm):
"If you have Cable Car or CCK ask about Mornin Delight and Kentucky Brunch. If you do not have CC and you ask for KBBS/MD I will not like that very much" that doesn't help."

So were you annoyed that a few hours after your posted your ISO no one came running to you with a CC or CCK for your KBBS/MD so you started this thread?

Should I create a thread saying how everyone who owns KBBS/MD is just a big circle jerk? Because honestly, that is a much better example than CCK.

 

The ISO I put up for CCK and CC in which I offered all 4 '12 BA DL's got crickets, which I was surprised by, but I think you may be right. I suspect most of these aren't for trade. Cheers!

 

Yeah, when I saw that I thought "that will get done in a second" but after seeing you got crickets came to the realization...there just may not be any left for trade at the moment. Good luck Mike!

 

So I drank a crooked stave origins grand cru last night and it was amazing! When I checked into it on untapped all 3 recommendations were cable cars... I died laughing at the thought of ever trying to get one. Not gonna happen.

 

If there were only 48 bottles of CCK and one person ended up with 4 that would seem to be not quite right, sharing them or not. On the other hand I am not looking for CCK so who cares.

 

And let's see, even if someone ends up with all 48 how does that affect anyone else, exactly? I mean other than the obvious, that now there are only have 39,846 beers to try instead of 39,847.

You say something is not right about it. What? Others had more of a claim?

Geez, I ended up with 4 of a 26 bottle release, and I bet no one would have noticed if I hadn't now mentioned it.

Again, if this post was humor and I missed it, sorry, sometimes humor is too dry even for me.

 

My faves that are easy to get. Not all American, not all listed as wilds

Rayon Vert
Saison Brett
Sophie
Petrus Aged Pale
Boon Marriage Parfait
Rodenbach Grand Cru
Fritz Briehm 1809 Berliner Weisse
Cascade (any, available by post from brewery)
Timmermans Gueuze
Lindemanns Cuvee Rene'

That should get you started on your road to the poorhouse

 

I guess I just look at it different. As many of these small releases are also limited to 1 bottle per person or some other number I usually do not like the way the person ends up with large quantities of the limited release. All I know is when I show up to Hills Farmstead on a normal business day its about 95%/5% male to female ration, yet somehow on Special Release dates its closer to 50/50. Again not looking for CCK so this specific situation doesn't effect me and you are certainly right there are many other beers to drink.

Cheers!

 

I have a bunch of sours. All we need to do is find a convenient time to drink up. Right now half my fridge is full, plus everything in the cellar

 

Just as an aside on July 4 while the grill heats, Captain Lawrence used to have releases that were parties and clusterfucks of epic proportion.

Many folks got shut out of buying at the last 2 they did that way, one for Cuvee De Castleton, the other for Rosso e Marrone. They do this thing now called a silent release. I was able to conveniently get Rosso e Marrone this silent release on a beverage store shelf for the same price as at the brewery.

It is the Dark Lord Marketing model for many breweries, though, the producer manufacturing the demand.

What does it mean? I don't know, but glass is empty and fire is ready.

 

CCK was released in bottles over time at both Toronado locations. There were more than 48 bottles released.
