Kane Head High in Cans

I think Breurey has a great model.
Don't reinvent the wheel just copy their format.

 

While I do think this isn't a bad idea for Kane someday down the road, they are nowhere near the production capacity that the Bruery is at. So instead of people complaining about getting shut out of the lottery or Brown Paper Tickets, they are going to be up in arms over not winning a membership.

 

As much as I think "Demonships" are hilarious and silly, I actually think that's the time when breweries should be doing bottle clubs. When supply outweights demand. Once a brewery is established and it knows it will never meet a demand it seems kind of ridiculous to do a bottle share. So instead of some people not getting some bottles, with a bottle share, some are people not getting all the bottles. Having said that, if they ever increase production than I think a membership club would be awesome.

Also in favor or a Kane monthly thread if its allowed. I get suckered into thinking something is going on with cans when this is topped, but I do appreciate the Kane discussion

 

Roger Wilco in Pennsauken always has at least one Kane offering on the Crowler/growler menu also.

 

Is Vengeful Heart a bottle release or solely on tap?

 

Previously on tap, but with the way things have going recently in regards to the bottle line...could be a 10 minute announcement on any given Saturday/day

Anyways, this was just broadcasted:

"The latest batch of HopLab: Triple IPA is fresh from the tank and will be on draft this weekend at the brewery during tour and tasting hours. HopLab: Triple IPA is a 10.5% India Pale Ale hopped with Simcoe and Columbus in the kettle and dry hopped with copious amounts of Mosaic, Galaxy and Amarillo. A limited number of kegs will be hitting bars and restaurants next week."

 

Does that mean growler fills? I've never been to Kane but am planning a trip down to Carton tomorrow and would swing by Kane as well if I could get a growler of this.

 

In the past, you've been able to fill a growler of Vengeful.

 

My best guess/hope is that they will it on for fills, along with variations for samples; Wine barrel aged and whatnot

 

HopLab triple was available for 1 or 2 liter fills back in Dec for ANTEAD pick up, I got a 1 liter fill, it was awesome. Not boozy, the best triple IPA I've had, blows Simtra away IMO

 

Let me be crystal clear
I only want a Membership if I get to have a membership. Any plan that I get shut out of I am steadfastly against!!!!

 

Can someone be a pal and post up what's available at the brewery?

Coffee Silent Nights is amazing.

 

Disappointed that the tap/growler list is somewhat small right now but that Triple is really solid. Had it back in July.

 

This triple is significantly better than the last batch. So good

That silent night coffee is unreal too. LIke Morning Bell it's brewed with local Rook coffee. Think he said it was a Guatemala and Honduras blend and the coffee comes through so nice. Unreal beer

 

I believe the coffee in Silent Nights was a Sumatra last week and you definitely tasted a dark roast profile. So maybe there's different versions?

 

I know they used Sumatra in the Morning Bell last year, which was absolutely fantastic. I just asked last night if they used Rook coffee, as it came through really really well in the beer, and he said yea and it was a blend of Guatemala and something else. I thought he said Honduras but if might have been Sumatra. Either way it comes through so nice. They really nail their coffee beers

 

The key is to use good coffee and Rook is one of the best around!

 

Turnstile in Belmar is my personal favorite coffee and imo it's some the best coffee in the state and some of the best coffee I've ever had in this country. Rook is also really really good and way better than using some generic stuff. Would love to see a great brewery do something with Turnstile, but Kane has a great thing going with Rook
