Noble Ale Works - Q4 2016

They only have enough for 80 people more, and there is more than that in line.

 

Damn ok thanks for the update guys

 

If you are not here and in line you're not getting cans, looking tight as it is for those of us in line.

 

Is the beer any good? (Weird question these days...I know)

 

is the beer any good? heh. what is this 2015?

 

So vintage

 

Yes it's really good. I don't normally max out in cans but I'm glad I did.

 

Is this going to see draft at all?

 

I saw them post somewhere that they would have only 2 kegs available for pours at the tasting room.

 

According to IG, all gone both draft and cans.

 

So stoked for Noble ! I've been drinking their great beers from day one and today they threw themselves right into the center of So Cals haze craze, AND..... the beer is worthy, IMHO with a few tweaks here and there they will be right there with the best the west coast has to offer with this style. Hopefully they will be able to increase can production for future releases to about 250 -300 cases which I believe they can do with their expansion and added capacity. BUT PLEASE guys, don't give up on the Shower series OK ? There's a lot more to IPAs than just haze bombs.

Cheers,

 

Damn. Was hoping to have a pour later tonight. Oh well...

 

Yes, second that. Did not make it to the can release as I had to work. But please keep the Shower series going. Not sure what's going on with the series. Maybe it has something to do with the hops? Or not. But seeing the showers in cans/bottles would be nice. The Haze thing is good. But let's not forget our west coast IPA's. We don't need every brewery to be making the same haze thing. The other guys west of the 91 are doing just fine with the haze. Don't need another sh!te show in the OC. Maybe Vito can chime in on the future of Showers vs Haze?

 

If there's going to be a line of people buying $20k+ worth of beer no one has tried before they even open, they're going to keep doing it.

I love the shower beers too, I hope they keep doing those just as much. Shoot I miss the old beer menu. Times are a changin, but I still love Noble.

 

Showers series is returning soon, really soon.

I'd like to thank everyone who showed up yesterday, we are always so incredibly humbled by the love and support that you all show for Noble.

One thing I'd like to say is that we at Noble want to brew GREAT beers, not just for ourselves or for a specific demographic that enjoys a very particular style of IPA, but for EVERYONE.

This haze craze ain't going anywhere anytime soon, and although we will continue to brew beers of all styles to the best of our abilities (including all the Noble beers you've loved in the past), we also like taking on new challenges. This very recent iteration of IPA style presents a very intriguing opportunity for our brewers, and brewers everywhere, to try and add their own artistic and creative touch to something so new and exciting. But rest assured, one style won't define us. We're fucking weirdos who like to experiment with weird stuff...(#AllTheThings). And when Crowlers hit sometime this month we hope that you'll fill more than just Hazy beers, because a beer like "Cutoff Jean Cargo Schwartz" would look sexy AF getting poured out of those ridiculously awesome gold cans...

Like always, feel free to summon me here for any questions or concerns you may have.

Love you, mean it!

- Vito

 

We all know the hazy trend is at a high point and personally bummed about missing about, wish there would of been more on draft to last as I was working and really wish limit would of been 2 or even 1.5. Granted I still would of missed but least more people would of had an opportunity. Monkish even has done this and obviously a weekend release will typically draw a bigger crowd then a weekday release. End rant

 

Just what we needed to hear Vito...........carry on !

Cheers,

 

I didn't like Juicy is the New Dank, but this one's pretty incredible. Definitely one of my favorite CA NE style IPAs I've had, probably top 3.

The line cutting shit's pretty annoying. I estimated there were ~250-300 in front of me when I got in line, so was fairly confident I'd make it before they ran out (they had enough for 340 people to max out), but as more and more people kept jumping in with their friends an hour+ after the line started moving (and as I started to question my estimating skills), I got a little nervous I'd be leaving empty handed. Sucks for the person right at the cutoff who would have gotten some had just one of the dozens of assholes not been an asshole that day and been able to find the back of the line.

 

I heard a rumor that other breweries hold sales online to avoid this. Of course the breweries that still hold these archaic releases would miss out on all of the IG photos (hype bro) by switching to a more modern method. But who needs convenience?

 

Any word on an anniversary party this year? Had a blast the last few years Ive been and hoping they have another one this year.
