2016 New Glarus releases

Hometown Blonde is my favorite lager. It seemed to sell really well last time it was released, wouldn't be surprised it makes a return this year.

 

Bring back Zwickel and I would be happy

 

Zwickel! I second that motion

 

Highly (very highly) unlikely in my estimation. Yokel effectively replaced that beer methinks. They are both bottle conditioned, unfiltered lagers. Zwickel looks like it was last brewed in roughly 2004, but Yokel has been brewed off and on since about 2006.

 

If it's Hometown Blonde, Bohemian Lager, or Zwickel I'll be SOOOO happy.

 

I second this! I'm down to my last 6 bottles or so of Cran-bic. Would love to get another case.

 

I drank my last two during christmas. Turned into an amazing brew. Would love to see what it did long term. Im buying at least 2 cases next time its out.

 

Hmm...sounds like I'd better put away a couple of bottles until whenever Cran-bic returns to do a comparison. Hopefully it won't be too long of a wait. On a related note, I managed to obtain a bottle of 2009 Golden Ale to go along with the 2015 version which my brother will be bringing me in a couple of weeks. I can't wait to taste them side by side!

 

Interested to hear how the 2009 is doing. Been a while, but the last one I had was nothing but Band-Aids. Very shortly before that, though, I had a bottle that phenomenal.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

 

One of my favorite brews from any brewery. Good thing I still have almost a case left.

 

3 R&D releases this year.. The releases are unknown.

Interesting that they dropped down from 4 days to 2. Definitely will decrease the ratio of locals successful at getting bottles but the releases were pretty smooth last year anyways so shouldn't be too bad unless they release some super in demand fruited sour.

 

I wouldn't be surprised if bottle limits got increased.....actually, maybe I'm hoping they do, more than anything.

 

Is Bubbler the new Hopster? Wasn't a fan of the Hopster!!

 

Hopster was the new name for Crack'd Wheat. I can't believe they would rename it again.

 

Probably not, but Hopster was a pretty bad name choice

 

Hell yeah, I want those sub ten dollar four packs of sour goodness!

 

Looks like we can be expecting cans at some point. They just posted a picture of a new canning line on instagram.

 

Cans of Moon Man would complete my summer.
