Kiwi Rising in Mass

They will be releasing it through normal distribution, they are not sure when yet.

 

I

Don't think getting there early is terribly necessary I'd be surprised if it was sold out in under a week. Of course people said that about DBD so who really knows anyway.

 

Has anyone had this before? What's it comparable to?

 

It's like a hoppy lager version of Sierra Nevada southern hemi harvest

 

awesome likeness report, thanks!

 

Not even sure but I remember it was awesome. Got like 5 bottles last year and regret not getting more

 

It made it into distro last year, I wouldn't be surprised if it did again this year.

 

Any word on the varietals used this year? The 2012 used different stuff than the 2011: http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/kiwi-rising.49723/page-2#post-655028

Still $4.50-5.00 / 16oz? Growlers...$15?

 

I had this on Tuesdays Tap Takeover at RedBones. To me it felt like hop pellets in your mouth, which isn't necessarily a bad thing!

 

Hops used were Motueka, Pacific Jade, Nelson, Southern Cross and Pacifica

 

Is the hop profile similar to 2011 or 2012? Although I found both to be fantastic, I did find slight differences. See you later today!

 

Picked up 4 at the brewery today. Lots of remodeling in there since the last time I visited? In the fridge for later tonight... Can't wait.

 

We are in the process of redoing our tasting room. We are doing all the work while remaining open so we are doing everything in stages. Right now we pulled up all the tiles so it is just bare concrete until we get it epoxied next week. There is still a lot of work to be done and hope to have everything done by Thanksgiving.

 

It's looking good, and was excited to see the upcoming dates for BA Smoke & Dagger and BA Framinghammer!

 

I Framinhammer is coming soon. But is there anything else special in that barrel room?

 

Right now Framinghammer is still in our tanks, most of the barrels in our barrel room are our sour projects. Half of them are a golden lager in red wine barrels and the rest are a red lager in red wine barrels. There are also a couple barrels of Sour Time and Smoke & Dagger.

 

Awesome can't wait for sour releases. Thanks for info

 

Solid commute home today - Grabbed 4 Kiwi Rising and 4 Baby Makers... I missed out on last year's version, but the Kiwi sample was solid. Very excited for this.

There was only one other customer there at 3:45pm so I was in/out, but guessing the masses roll in after 5pm today.

 

So still baby maker for sale
