Crooked Stave W.W.B.G.

still some floating around in denver. try mile high in lakewood or littles on downing and wesley, purchased it at both places within the last couple of months. the indigo and blue are sitting out now, but the green and maybe even yellow might still be in a cellar if youre lucky

 

$15 at the Barrel Cellar. Only to drink at the bar as I understand. No bottles around town as of late, unless someone knows otherwise.

 

Don't worry about green, get some indigo while you can before you kick yourself in the ass for missing it too.

 

While awesome, the Indigo is probably their most traditional fruit sour. WWBG is an oddball that really isn't like anything else on the market. It's not my favorite (I do like it), but I don't think there's anything comparable anywhere.

 

You're not gonna find any green, except in cellars. (Not even my buddies at the stores have them in the store cellars...)

 

How is the Green drinking right now, anyway? I've got a bottle each of Green and Surette (13 mos. old now) that I've been hanging onto.

 

I thought Anchorage Galaxy White IPA was similar, but WWBG is a pretty unique beer

 

Not nearly as good as it was fresh imo

 

Understandable. Looking forward to it, regardless.

 

I know the beers are not an apples to apples comparison, I was just making a suggestion from my own experiences. Now all you BA's have to hear my lamentations about missing out on WWBY and WWBO...

 

Yellow was my favorite and apparently it'll never be brewed again. I asked Chad about it and I guess the process of making it with mango ended up with some happy accidental results that could be hard to duplicate at best and disastrous at worst. They're shooting for something potentially similar, but WWBY is dead.
Still, with the stuff they're brewing right now...I have no fears about them being able to make something just as good if not better. I don't think any brewery has ever changed my opinion like CS has. I pretty much hated their early stuff, but I can't get enough of everything they've made since.

 

Did you try the sour quad? I just missed it before I came back home, wished i had stayed later.

 

I tried the sour quad at GABF. My palate probably wasn't at its best (although I had it very early) but I'd say the sour character was a bit stronger than the malt character. It was terrific, but maybe not what I expected based upon the name. I think I imagined more quad, less sour and it was the other way around

 

yellow and orange both sat on the shelf at Bubbles forever, when I finally went to get them they were looooong gone. Ever since then if I see something that piques my interest at all I make sure to scoop it up.

 

Is this sour quad available in bottles and available outside of Denver?
