New Glarus 2015 R&D

I think the winner of that pic is the bitchin' LA teku glass!

I'd take that over the beer!

 

Has anyone heard of its sold out yet? I'm planning a trip to the brewery

Thanks

 

Was there earlier this afternoon. The stack hasn't moved much.

 

Agree! I also own that same Teku so I can confirm bitchin

 

Wouldn't expect this to go for any whale trades. At least not any time soon since it's still easy to get and not getting consistent 4.5+ reviews, or even consistent 4.0+ reviews.

 

Wow....I count at least 1600 bottles left right there, which means they have about 1/3+ of the initial 4500 bottles left.

 

Any ideas if they will ever lift the limit? Debating whether its worth driving down one afternoon to do so for just 2 (though at this point it may be the only place to get Strawberry Rhubarb as well).

 

They probably won't lift the limit. Went a couple days in a row for that very same combo.

Thanks! It'd be easier (and cheaper) if someone would just give me one though! LOL But a good fall back plan!

 

Anyone know if they still have Wild Bitter? I tried calling today, no one is answering the phones...

 

Here now, stack is down to about half of the last picture

 

I know some people are down on Wild Bitter, as it isn't a fruited sour or whatever, but because of my man @Ri0 I got to drink this beer today and I really enjoyed it. Reminded me A LOT of Anchorage's Love Buzz, with a bit less grapefruit and a touch more Brett. Very, very nice beer. Thanks, Jared!

 

I went yesterday and got my 2 bottles. Drinking one now. Why hasn't this sold out yet. This is a great beer

 

Because its not trading for 2 props, 4 vanilla ryes, and an assassin +++

 

stack was looking low today. brewery was super crowded even though it was pouring rain all day

 

I think part of it is that shifting a Sunday release to a Thursday release isn't exactly the easiest day for any kind of release, even if you're local. You still have to take the day off from work to go. (and then you take into account that a Brett IIPA is not something that you'd expect from New Glarus; it's all about fruited AWAs)

 

It has nothing to do with what day of the week the release is & everything to do with the trade value. If for some reason Wild Bitter pulled a Prop/Vanilla Rye for example, it would have sold out in the three days - guaranteed. They could have released it at 3 am on a Wednesday morning and Highway 69 would still look like Mad Max Fury Road on the way to the brewery. If there is anything we have learned in witnessing releases is that the release day/time is hardly a limiting factor at all. If the beer can trade, the masses will come.
