    If you are talking about adding foeders, then Yes, they have upped their capacity quite a bit and dedicated an entire "quarantined" building for them. Unfortunately the pasteurization of said sours I think has degraded some of the quality from the original C&C releases but probably allows for wider and better distro.

    And the release IS happening, our rep was taking pre-orders from accounts already...

    A rep from the brewery who was in town for Omaha Beer Week told me to expect it this summer.

    They also have a sour IPA in the works that I think will be interesting to try.

    Well I know they have added foeders but yeah, I was going that would cork and cage again. Let me dream :wink: lol
    On a side note, I'm usually not impressed with their new 6 pack releases but that portage is really nice! Especially for 1.50 a cup at champa st. Burgers!

    Portage is one of those beers they snuck out that turned out to be really, really good. Much better than most of their random seasonals. Usually I don't care for the NB beers that don't have a Belgian slant, but that one is top notch.

    With NB's expanded sour program, I just want them to keep the La Folie, Le Terroir, Eric's Ale, Biere de Garde, Transatlantique Kriek, Valentine Ale, Tart Lychee, etc. flowing and (hopefully) get the prices down here in CO.

    Live a 5 minute walk away from the brewery. Pretty sure I can grab you some once they are released. PM me and put it on my radar if you'd like an assist from a fell BA'er!

    Psyched to be able to get this again. Hopefully there isn't a 30-40% "living in Colorado" mark-up this time.

    Should hit this week. The holiday weekend may delay it to some places (CDC peeps are off today---Monday)

    six hundred billion dollars...give or take.

    Rep didn't know cuz their system was shut off. Nor did he know why prices in some other states are lower. :astonished:

    $11.55 one state over. Probably the usual $8 in MN. Here is CO we're probably sitting at $18. It will be cheaper to trade for it like any of the other NB bottles I want.

    If you have not had it before, pay the bucks locally.

    I've had it. I'll be picking some up but if it truly is that big of a difference like it has been on other bottles I will get a regular trader to grab some and send it to me. Totally serious on being cheaper even with the shipping costs.

    I am hoping they figured out the cost thing locally.
