Cycle/ccb bottle releases

The ironic thing is people are not showing up for these releases when it's the highest quality stuff Cycle has put out in a while

 

By far. Saw a guy posted on their Facebook he had no money left for these after blowing his wad already and I truly felt bad for him as these are honestly so much better. This hazelnut with nibs blows db hazelnut out of the water. Db vanilla was really good but doesn't come close to the mouthfeel of these.

 

talking about how good this are makes me wish NJ wasnt sure a far commute down there

 

Wow, I just cracked a rare noa and I'll be going back for another 6 now. Cycle f'ing killing it with these

 

The lack of a secondary market has driven the people away who don't actually drink the beer. Additionally there is some fatigue as some of these bottles are so similar over time and the cost has continued to rise. Plus there is some much excess of BA beers in the FL market right now. I'm glad that cycle continues to pump out beers as an option and I'm able to get whatever I want without camping out.

It is pretty gluttonous right now in this area. And the only reason AC lines are the biggest at the moment is because there is still a large secondary market there.

I'll be happy when everything normalizes and we can go back to getting IGCCS bottles and crowlers on a regular Tuesday.

 

Rare NOA is pure candy. Good god, it is liquid dark chocolate with a nice hint of anise, caramel and pecans. Outstanding.

I also had Hazelnut and it is incredible. So much creaminess and chocolate. Really delicious.

I agree that this could be Cycle's best run yet.

 

Last thursday

 

True f'n words here.

"Oh noes not mega rare? Can't flip....Cycle is trash..".


Haha

 

You guys are lucky having cycle and AC stouts, I get the stout fatigue. I've been vacationing for the last 3weeks from MI, we have great beer for sure, but I away impressed with all these stouts. I'm in Chicago all the time and between MI/CHi/IN I don't feel we get this many great stouts. On a side note, my wallet is ready to head back to MI

 

Not the most current question, but can someone confirm Cognac barrel aged Zhukov had a plain silver bottle cap? (No CCB logo)

 

Yes. Bought out of the cooler 8/2. Odd, but yes.

 

Yes it does. All the El Cat bottles this round also have plain black caps. Maybe they always have and I never noticed? But I did notice the silver cap when i put the Cognac with my other bottles.

 

Unlimited today for the Cinnamon Vanilla. Currently no line at 8:20.

Noa, Hazelnut, DB Cinnamon, and DB Cinnamon Hazelnut on tap.

 

I can confirm. picked up my ECC and none had ccb caps.

 

New CCB caps and labels on the way perhaps?

 

Showed up at 7 today, 25th in line, picked up all four days, and got to work just 40 minutes late. Hope this is how things will work with Cycle going forward.

 

So weird not having ridiculous lines. I'm used to crazy lines and 2pp. Only limit this week was a case for noa, which I had last week and it was great! Pecan all over the place which I loved. Was there every day this week at 630.

 

Kewl!

 

NOA sold out, not surprising, I drank one last night, it was excellent. Almost reminiscent of a BA angry chair stout. Best cycle beer I've had in a while

 

What a tap list! I picked a great weekend for my first Tampa trip
