Crooked Stave - Mama Bear's Sour Cherry Pie

So bad that multiple friends turned down my extra bar seat. If you were lucky enough to get there 3 hours early (I got there 2 hours early and got bar seats) and get 1 of the 5 tables then I'm sure it wasn't so bad. It's sad when people show up and see the madness and turn around and leave. They obviously need way more room.

 

I had the collab at Backcountry on Sunday, assuming it's the same one. Thought it was really good, just missing a little more plum, that would have made it amazing. Overall though thought it was a great beer.

 

I'm hoping Brett d'Peach is tapped next time I come in. Easily one of my favorite beers of Zwanze Day this year. Was kind of a zoo tonight, so we got FW beers instead at the little bar outside CS.

 

Says Batch 2 on the back also.

 

I was hoping of swinging by over lunch to pick some up. Sounds like there might be bottles available?

 

I would assume there's some left. When I got mine around 8:30pm they were working on their 2nd pallet of the evening.

 

For anyone wondering they still have a ton of Mama Bear's but the place is crazy crowded with a long line.

 

Dear coloradians, thanks for the fantastic time. I was one of the lucky ones that scored one of these tables on release night. Grabbed the entire board of tasters, felt bad because it did take the server a while and obviously other patrons had to wait, but we did share our table, so not too much of an ass. Also grabbed a few bottles which will come back to San Diego with me, also had their 6pm release. All in all, a very wonderful experience. Maybe next time I visit I will drive so I can mule a few cases to share, trade, give away. Cheers.

 

Lines/crowds were very manageable last night when I went in. Sure it was busy but they did a good job of handling all the people and there was still plenty of Mama Bear as well as Batch 100 for purchas

 

Since RR FFAC was only a 4 bottle limit and only sold 40 cases per day and limit on this is a case per day would I be a dick if I asked for 2 of the mama bear for one FFAC?

 

Isn't FfaC $15 a bottle? If so I'm not sure it's rare enough to justify asking for double a brewery only release beer. I think it's closer to 1:1 IMO.

 

What did FFAC cost? For beers like that I'd say $4$ is what's fair. I'd be willing to bet the Mama's total bottle count is lower anyway despite the higher purchase limit (just a guess).

 

It cost 18$ they opened at 11:00am and were sold out by 12:30 pm for the day. I read that RR was only going to have it in bottles for maybe one more day 40 cases X 6days comes out to about 240 cases of FFAC. I just want to make sure it's a worth while trade for me. I did drive 3 hours to be in line by 6:30 am so I could secure my 4 bottle limit before they sold out for the day.. this selling all day and being a higher bottle allocation made me wonder...

 

Psssh. I had to move to Colorado to be able to buy Sour Cherry Pie in person. That's a 1,000 mile drive and cost me $2,000. I need to start considering that with my Sour Cherry Pie trades.....

 

Why would you move to buy a beer? That's just stupid!

 

Wow. I guess I need to factor in my rental cost for the weekend in Glenwood to get Casey Fruit Stand.

Or not.

 

Gotta get those walez. Dedication homie.

 

Trolololol

 

Well, kinda...
