Casa Agria Specialty Ales

Can't seem to find it on their site, but how long do they hold your bottles? Do they store them until the end of your membership like Rare Barrel or is there a shorter window?

 

They are very accommodating. Ryan who is an owner chimes in on here a lot to clear up any concerns or questions. Best route is to always call or email them. They are very responsive and try to accommodate anyone when they can.

Most important part (as far as their IPAs):

"they plan to begin regularly canning beers"

 

Time to get the lawn chairs ready boys.

 

ooh boy...

 

i made it a point of stopping by on my way back from LA to bay area last sunday and was really impressed with the sour I had Bo knows Barry plus the IPA...Mirror Flexin...great name too. It's just too bad they are way out in Oxnard.

 

Grabbed my membership for next year!

 

Oh my poor wallet. I joined this one too! I'm excited about it as well. I'm very curious about their IPAs in addition to their sours/farmhouse ales.

 

Today we present to you, #westernglow an #ipa brewed with oats and wheat then dry hopped to the max with Citra, Mosaic, Simcoe, and Columbus. Aroma is a dance of weed smoke, citrus, and tropical fruit. Flavor is soft and full of stone fruit with a hint of resin, very crushable for a 7.5% abv. Tasting room opens at 2pm today so set your eyes to the west for pints and growler fills at CASA! Don't forget tomorrow is also the release of #guayabadeoro our Berliner style sour beer conditioned on guava!

had me at "weed smoke"

 

I know what I am getting fills of on Sunday....

 

From CASA - looking forward to this:

We have been receiving a lot of questions regarding canning our IPA's. A soon to be announced 2017 membership perk. We are going to start canning our IPA's. Our current time frame is dec/Jan first release. With a goal of releasing a new can each month. We have 2 new 15bbl fermenters arriving tomorrow. Which will be dedicated to clean beer production.

As a 2017 member you will have first right of access to pre-ordering IPA cans. The only new requirement for pick up will be ...that you or your trustee will be required to pick up presale IPA cans within 9 days of the release. If not picked up, they will be forfeited back to CASA. We will not be shipping cans via GSO to members or trustees. This helps to ensure these cans are consumed as fresh as possible.

 

Awesome news!

 

i mean, who didnt see that coming? lol

awesome for them! not a 2017 member but as a gen pop with many casa friends, i cant wait to be able to see/try some of their cans.

 

Ooh, I'm actually excited for the can designs. Hopefully it isn't too much of a shitshow for public sales though.

 

@Miruguy source? The facebook group or something?

 

if it means anything, i talked to one of the co-founders and he said they will 100% can ipas.

 

Correct, members group on facebook

 

I didn't doubt it. Was just trying to make sure I haven't been bumped from an email list.

Sorry CASA I will not facebook. Better breweries have tried!

 

damn might just have to do the membership to casa after all.. even if they are a 50 mile drive one way
