Crooked Stave 2014 Cellar Reserve

Mine went through. I know they had tons of problems when we all signed up, I might contact them.

 

If you got an Email Reciept i wouldn't worry too much about it.

 

If you have any issues with anything - just contact them directly. Much of the Cellar Reserve process is manual and they tend to go out of their way to make you glad you joined.

 

Anyone been to The Source recently? Wondering what bottles to go are available?

 

Ferus Fluxus
St Bretta Winter
Surette (batch 9)
Vielle (3 different batches)

 

Thanks!

 

Does anyone know the Barrel Cellar hours? I can't seem to find them anywhere.

 

As of a few weeks ago:
Fri 4-8
Sat 12-8

 

Thanks!

 

That is correct

 

Cherry, was there, then gone, then back. Another simple order.

 

If you look at the last 2 profile picks back and forth quickly in succession, it animates homer drinking.

 

Has anyone tried the 24 bottle version? I'm looking to consolidate my shipping costs and not have 5 shippers come to me all at once

 

I trustee for several people and I use the 24 shipper for a couple. They work great.

 

Thanks...I've been thinking about grabbing some, but there is no pic so was hesitant

 

The ones I've used are 4x 6-bottles styro inserts. 2 on the bottom layer and 2 on the top layer on those. The box is around 30 inches high and ends up weighing 45lbs when shipped but they are easy to pack and I haven't had a broken bottle yet.

 

I'm sure it has been covered before, but I am looking for the skinny on the Cellar Reserve bottle release coming up June 21. I was a 2013 member, but circumstances (mainly work) conspired to keep me from attending any of the proper releases. I have heard tell of bottle shares and generally awesome camaraderie. Is that the case? Trying to decide if I should try and get out of work for this one vs. say, Avery release on June 15. I'm sure I can't do both. Thanks for any info!

 

Not sure how the release will go this time around but here's my take on last year's releases. I went to them all. They were basically a regular day where you could just go pick up your bottles. The tasting room (old taproom since the source wasn't open) was still open for the public. No real party. A few people (6-10) would do a bottle share outside. The last pickup of the year was the party. They opened up the old tasting room (the Source was open by then) for members and had all the beer left from WTF pouring and it was free. They had a place making wood fired pizza also. There was a big bottle share throughout the whole brewery. Great time. Wish they were all like that.

I'm guessing it's going to be more of the former then the later but I don't know that. Might be different now that they have the Source and wouldn't have to shut the place down for a release party. They are holding it at the old taproom.

I love the Avery releases and have a great time at them. Great beers poured and usually get a few people sharing bottles also.

 

Thanks, that is super helpful. Too bad I missed that party last year! Oh well...maybe they'll do it again for the finale this year.

 

Was anyone at Avery sour fest and get a chance to try the beers they had from this first release? Just curious peoples thoughts
