2016 New Glarus releases

Over the weekend i was able to do a side by side of new Cran-bic and a bottle of orginal batch. The latest batch seems more tart from the get go. Shold be interesting how the new stuff ages

 

If my memory serves, I found the prior thumbprint release to be a bit drier than this version. This once seems a touch sweeter. Cran-bic is outstanding regardless. It needs to be a yearly release imo.

 

What's the general availability of the Zwickel now? I went out and got some in March but I was wondering if they still have it or if it was a limited thing?

 

608-527-5850

 

Classic...

 

Still a decent amount available as of yesterday. They were selling wild bitter as well.

 

Wonder how Wild Bitter has held up....

 

On the hard hat tour a couple weeks back, Dan said it was better now than when they released it.

 

Interesting. May have to try and get my hands on some. I thought it was ... not great when it first launched, but some bottle conditioning with that brett may have done great things.

 

The price was $20 for the wild bitter fyi.

 

How much did they have out?

 

Around 10 cases. Maybe less

 

Sounds like a sales pitch

 

$1/month cellaring fee?

 

Haha probably. I'd gladly pay that for the vintage release. Not so much for wild bitter

 

I'm just the opposite. I liked Wild Bitter the best, out of last years R&D's. I don't know if it is worth $20 a bottle though. $10... absolutely.

 

To each their own. Definitely pricey. Was surprised to see the increase

 

Odd to see some of these prices coming from NG. Oh well.

 

Gotta pay for that new canning line

 

And get that distillery up and running.
