2013 Lost Abbey Cable Car?

I bought a 2008, which was all they had left at 10:30 when I finally broke away from work. Oh well, on draft it was very tasty and the Framboise de Amorosa was maybe even better. Good stuff regardless.

 

There were about 20 cases in the back that looked like were for sale. Those were a combo of '13 + the vintages. They definitely sold more than than 7 cases of 13 because that would be about 42 people. I estimated about 100 in the back room.

 

It's possible they sold 17 and kept 10 (just a guess).

 

I realize this is a longshot but if anyone accidentally grabbed a couple of extra bottles off a table in the side room and didn't realize it until they got home, please send me a message. I won't ask any questions, just hoping it was an honest mistake.

 

Ouch...

 

This is awful.

 

Super hope this gets resolved, it was a big group and we ended up two short at the end of the night and Kevo2007 is taking the fall for the group. Super sad stuff like this happens, also hoping it was just an oversight

 

Anyone have any idea if it's completely gone?

 

Kevo2007 is one of the finest BA I know. Tons of good karma for anyone get this issue resolved.

 

when I left ToroSD last night it was still in the cooler.

 

It was on tap as of 1am last night

 

Any chance bottles are still available to go? My friend was unable to make it last night.

 

Are there bottles available for onsite at torosf???

 

2013 is entirely sold out except for what they kept for the cellar. Not sure on the other vintages, however, they were sold out of 2009, 2010, and 2012 when I left last night at 7:30pm. Outside chance they still have 2007/2008 for sale. At $250 and $200/bottle for take out, that is extremely steep. I would avoid the 2007 at this point. Starting to take on a slightly buttery flavor and the sour is vastly faded. 2008 on still have a ton of life. I would say I enjoyed the 2010/2009 about equally as the best. Then the 2012, 2008, and 2013. 2013 is very fresh, hard to tell.

I wouldn't be surprised if they still have 2013 on tap today. $10/glass for a 6oz pour from what I remember. And Famboise De Amarosa, Red Poppy, and others will definitely be on tap today.

 

Crap. Thanks.

 

This probably doesn't help, but I'm opening a bottle of 13 on Sunday if you want to partake.

 

2013 still on tap as of lunch today, $10 for 6oz. 08 bottles available on premise ($80) or to go ($200). Red Poppy also still on, but FdA was kicked.

 

Damn, I wish '08 was $80 at ToroSD yesterday, I would've purchased a bottle. $200 is steep for onsite.

 

I hung out in Toronado - nice seeing a lot of you guys there. Cable Car was tasty but I couldn't pull the trigger at $60 a bottle. I'd rather have better beers for half the price - Beat, Cantillon, etc.

In other news, Rare Barrel turned out some good beers (but not that much better than other sours locally available) and the sours at Cellarmaker were really, really bad.

 

Much appreciation man, but I won't be able to take you up on it. Enjoy the 13, i thought it was better than last years vintage fresh. Thank you for the generous offer, i would love to know what you think.
