Brewery Bhavana - Cellar Door

To give Bhavana’s program some context, their 500ml bottles retail at bare minimum 11-12$ from the gift shop at the restaurant.

The ability to get ANY of their bottles for less than 13$ for 25% more product than their previous offerings, is a deal regardless what other breweries are doing.

While every style they have done isn’t necessarily my cup of tea, (however their jasmine tea Saison was superb] they are quite well crafted and executed in my opinion.

This is a great offering and a great value for their level of craftsmanship.

 

All the saisons and the flanders from this week I thought were really really good. Haven’t tried the stout yet, but got some cans.

 

Their food is better than their beer. At least in my opinion.

 

Which of their beers have you had out of curiosity? They have a ton on at any given time.

 

I live in Asheville and eat there with regularity, and the food is always better than their beer.

 

You’re thinking of Bhramari. Bhavana is in Raleigh.

 

Big my bad on this one. Completely wrong Brewery. I thought this was Bhramari.

 

Absolutely agree with you on Bhramari though

 

Check out Bhavana next time you’re in Raleigh! Make a reservation though. I think the regular taproom will be open by the fall.

 

Did you by chance get bottles? And if so how much were those. Was hoping to pop in on Tuesday to get some of the brett saison and flanders.

 

I got bottles of Saison Blanc and thought it was fantastic. Think they were $13 at Ridgewood.Didn’t get any other bottles yet, but really liked Papaver on draft.

I’m interested if anyone has had Sylvan yet how that one is.

 

Some of the bottles have sold out at this point,

Bounty sold out immediately for the most part. Although I have heard it will be packaged again within 6 weeks.

Brett Saison 500’s are 12$, Magnums are 32$.
Papaver (Flanders Red aged in Cab Sav barrels] 500’s are 13$
Sylvan (Mixed Culture Saison) 500’s sold out but Magnums are 42$
Saison Blanc (Sauvignon Blanc BA Farmhouse Ale) 500*s are 11$
Burrow (BBA Imperial Stout) 8oz can 4 packs are 14$

All prices are the Bhavana in store prices

I’ve had all but the Sylvan because I haven’t cracked one of my bottles and it wasn’t available on draft.

I was pleasantly surprised by the Papaver because Flanders Red isn’t a preferred style of mine, but found it to be quite well done.

Also, the Saison Blanc was very refreshing and I found it to be excellent. White wine drinkers would absolutely love it.

The Brett Saison is one of my favorite beers, period.

And Burrow was very well done and surprisingly not very hot on the palate, but the vanilla and oak is there.

I’d call the shop for current stock. I posted what was available when I was there Sunday afternoon.

 

Thanks!

I have a haircut next door tomorrow so I'm popping in regardless. Fingers crossed.

 

No problem. Please feel free to update bottle availability, if any updates are available.

Good luck and enjoy!

 

Went today and I think the bottle availability was the same as posted above, less the magnums (didn’t see any at least). None of the anniversary ones were on tap, although after tasting Mingle that’s all I wanted to drink anyway, so good.

If anyone has a bottle of Sylvan FT hit me up.

 

Sylvan magnums and 500ml are back in stock as of today.

Same goes for the Brett Saison Magnums, back in stock

 

I really enjoyed it. I liked how it transitioned, some tartness on the front end and nice funk on the back end.

 

Looks like the emails went out last night, will be interesting to see how many did not make it. I still get the feeling Bhavana is flying under the radar in the beer world, despite all the press they have gotten.

 

I got one, super excited!!!

 

Me Too!
