Kane Brewing (March/April 2018)

I think its been a while, Drift Line was on recently but not Driftwood. I saw the apple brandy barrels of it my cousin had seen Rye ones filled with it too. We guesstimated how many bottles you could get out of the 4 barrels and it was a good limited run but could be draft only too

 

The IG comments are great. I’d rather see sneakbox...people are such whiners. Head high is personally one of my favorite ipas. Can’t wait to pick up locally and have it not have to be a growler fill. Between this news and being able to regularly find boat these days were in a good place beerwise in this state. Not to mention the small local places around.

 

I don’t drink head high offen at the brewery (taplist is so great and so many options) and I barely buy cans but knowing I can run to my local wegmans is amazing. And I will likely buy them when I am there in the summer. Complainers gonna complain. F em

 

Was there Sunday @ 4:00 - they said there were about 15 cases left.

 

Swung by Canals in Lawrenceville after work today to grab some Head High. $13.99 per 4pk canned on 4/16/18. They also had single cans for $3.99ea.

I don't mind the hour drive to the brewery, but it's pretty damn nice to have this fresh and readily available less than 10 from home. Thanks @glennl and the rest of the Kane crew for making this happen.

 

Mixed Ferm! Where the Sea Change at!

 

There’s still cans of Party Wave available, just got here and see about 15 4-packs in the fridge

 

That's so awesome! Not so much for a beer like Head High but I will all places sold single cans of fresh beer, even at a small markup. So many beers I'd like to try but don't want a 4pk of sitting in my fridge.

Again, I realize that's slightly off topic as Head High does not fall into that category. A 4pk of that is always welcomed, just cool to see a place doing singles of fresh beer and not just waiting until they're 9+ months old and don't sell before putting them up for individual sale

 

Completely agree with selling singles. I would try so many more local beers but being tied down to a 4-pack of each at $16 a 4-pack sucks. Lots of places in Manhattan let you buy singles which is nice. I've asked at Bottle King and Buy Rite but they don't seem to see a benefit.

 

Lol nvm it looks like they have a few cases left.. guy here said they have about 6-7 cases left

 

Speaking from experience selling singles is way more of a courtesy to the customer than it is a profitable venture. It's a nightmare for inventory and just more a headache than it's worth. Go into any store that sells all bottles by the single from any 4 pack and you'll see a huge mess.

 

Not complaining (Kane should do whatever benefits them the most), but man would I much rather see Sneakbox in distro. I don't doubt Head High is the better seller but I'm curious how close it is. Although I wonder if it has more to do with volume.

 

Be patient. Head High is the flagship. There will be a day when Head High, Overhead and Sneakbox will all be in distribution

 

If Sneak Box is ever available locally I will go broke. So they should take their time on that one so I have some more time before I'm destitute.

 

Exactly and if a beer is $16/4pk I'd happily pay the extra $1 at like $5/can just to be able to try one and not be committed to all 4. It's a fridge space issue as well

 

And then hopefully Party Wave where that purple can at?

 

Nah, Night Swimming should be in purple, man! Get a lager in cans!

 

God, so much this!!! Honestly this or the recent Tiny Shells would make excellent full time offerings!

 

not a huge lager fan, but I wouldn't mind it. I think from a business perspective they know some type of IPA or IIPA would likely sell more in a regular can. But we can designate Night Swimming to Purple and make Party Wave a Blue to Green style can like they label on the sticker one!
