Cycle/ccb bottle releases

For me DBR is head and shoulders above the others then my list is
%+, Brinner, Coconut, Almond

 

brinner and almond...and dbr

 

it's a "best of" so I imagine there will be mixed opinions of what is liked more.

 

I'd say DBR as it's taken on near mythological status since so few people got it when it came out a few years ago due to Cycle having much less brewing capacity back then...if Memory serves it was also a unannounced Midweek Mid Day Release to that not many were aware of happening

 

im most excited for the surprise releases.

 

Crossing fingers for Mouthwash Barrel Aged Tang and Biscuits.

 

I'd be surprised if anything but Friday is big. Be surprised if anything sells out before then either. Brinner is great but was just released earlier this year, and almonds are a rather divisive adjunct. I'll be in line Friday morning though.

 

What time do they usually close once they open at 8 for botttle sales? And then what time do they typically open for the rest of the night? 3:00?

 

They usually stay open all day, it's been a while since they closed.

 

Line today was as small as Monday - Tuesday from what I heard. I was there today, got there around 7:30 and was probably 15th in line. My guess is Friday will be the only day that draws a "large" crowd

 

I don't even think Friday will be a large crowd. I feel like people will be able to go saturday and get the entire set.

 

I got there at 8 today and was done by 8:05.

Only difference I saw was the old lady and young kid got 4 cases. They had 2 the first two days.

 

I agree on the above. These will be available for a while, at the current price point, time of year and gluttony of beers available in the area, plus the diminished secondary market, even if Friday has a line it won't be like cycle releases of the past.

 

I'm just glad they're finally meeting demand properly. I love Cycle's beers and have ever since they started brewing at Peg's, but for years I was barely able to enjoy the BA stuff just because of the effort required to get bottles. Now I just slap an out of office notice up for Friday morning, pop over to Cycle, and make it to work 30 minutes late with a full week's set.

 

Yes, the normal/regular mule got 44 bottles or $1,540 worth today.

 

If this set came out in January of this year, it would probably be going for about 500-600 on the secondary. It's closing razzles for what, $240? lol

 

Swung through this afternoon and had zero issues getting bottles from Monday-Wednesday. Had &+ on tap and that beer is so damn good. I think it’s really under rated.

 

Drinking brinner on tap right now. Idk why they serve so cold, all of their stouts need to warm up 15 degrees before you get the different flavors.

It is damn good though.

 

A setup to allow for different taps to be served at different temps would be ungodly expensive. All of their taps are at the same temp. Rather have a hot IPA that you can't cool down or a cold stout that can warm up?

 

I didn't know it cost more for that, didn't think about it. Makes sense, I'm happy sitting here waiting for it to warm up.
