El Cat 2 release: Da un Beso a la Botella

Every time CCB mentions tropical in the name that usually means it's amazing. I still dream of Forgotten Island.

 

I still have one of those in my closet. Thinking of drinking it soon. For me it was one of those rare beers that actually improved after a few months on the shelf. It was drinking a bit hot when first released IMO.

 

i love FI. still have a couple.

 

i'm eagerly awaiting the trade acronym for it... RBDBRTTES??

 

I don't speak Spanish, what does that mean?

 

Rum DUBB TIES?

 

Perhaps it's just me, but isn't it a bit odd to announce Release #2, when we haven't been able to buy the additional Release #1 yet?

Many brewers experience growing pains with Internet sales, but the El Cat fees went up this year to cover the cost of this "upgrade". Of course, all will be forgiven it one of the El Cat beers is a re-release of Leon.

 

i don't find it odd at all...

Additional Bottle Update
We have been going back and forth for weeks now with our website developers and unfortunately we still do not have a great solution to host additional bottle sales. We appreciate the ideas many of you have mentioned, but because of the way our site is built, no plan is without flaws. We will continue to work toward a solution that works for everyone and we will send you an update with all the details as soon as we're ready. Thanks for your patience while we work this out!

 

I kissed the bottle. That's a jawbreaker song.

Anyway, this sounds awesome.

 

I got the email too. It's still odd to me that they'd release the next beer before Release 1 and Granmule sales had been resolved.

 

Didn't they sell more bottles of don gavinos and illuminating the path at the same time? Meaning the following bottle came out before they offered sales of the previous. Not to mention, they don't have to have the site fixed to release the next bottle

 

I second this! I would rather them wait six months, focus on making the one bottle we get of our five guaranteed beers awesome, work on extra sales IF you have spare time. I don't really care if they even offer extras if they make our payed for five beers awesome. As for this beer I have high hopes but I have been burned by rum BA brews in the past so we will wait and see. Anyone try it yet?

 

Probably the best Jawbreaker song!!!! Glad someone else noted that.

Had the beer tonight at Halfway There quite good.

 

Not the best, but definitly up there. I'm a big Unfun fan.

 

Tried it last night... Good, not great. No cognac sweet stout.

Also tried grand mule, reminded me of ba Jose Marti. Too much barrel not enough beer.

 

I agree that I'm not a huge fan of the rum barrel. I, unfortunately, haven't had the pleasure of rarer dos, though. Which I hear is an excellent example.

 

had it again last night and it was fantastic.
