Goose Island Clybourn Releases

Nutulhu-White

 

Double Date was black I believe

 

Flanders Red - Dark Red
Brettanomite - Orangey Yellow. The biggest difference between Yellow Umbrella and Brettanomite is that Brett has the 25th anniversary logo on one side and Umbrella does not

 

That is correct.

 

IPA thingy green

 

Yup. Double APA - Dark Green Wax.

 

Silver Jubilee
Flanders Red
Cthulhu
Brettanomite

All were released in 2013.

 

Just flip flop nutulhu and double date and I think you even have them in order.

 

Chtulhu before Brettanomite as well.

 

Is there a release schedule or do the new beers just become available when they are ready?

 

When they are ready. Usually announced on their twitter the day or two days before. Usually about 400 bottles. Usually sells out same day. 28$ for the last two.

Big Train in the next release. Imperial Rye Porter. Due out this fall.

 

New barrel day is always a good day! @WoodfordReserve double oaked acquired w assistance of friends @ @AleSyndicate!

Any thoughts on this being a bottled release or draft only? This was just posted today on Twitter

 

Is it the "Goose Island Beer Co" twitter account that you need to follow? or a twitter account for Clyborne?

 

Clyborne account.

 

Man... It still bums me out that Clybourn chooses to bottle the barrel-aged beers instead of making them available for draft like they did as little as two years ago. So instead of these beers being on the draft list for weeks at a time, it's all gobbled up by a handful of dudes who can cut out of work or can get to Lincoln Park on their lunch hour, who then post haul pics on CCBE (SEW MOOCH DUBBEL DATE! WAELZZZZZ!!1) followed shortly reach-for-the-stars trade offers here and elsewhere.

It's the Halls' business and they can do what they like, but the people queuing up for Nutulhu on a Tuesday afternoon aren't the ones supporting their business between bottle releases and Stout Fest.

Looks like they are pulling an IMP stout this week.
