Kane Brewing (July/August 2018)

Guess I should repost in the July thread. Anyone know if Night Swimming lasted the day?

Thanks

 

20 cases left according to Facebook

 

Thanks. Dropped at noon and secured a few four packs.

 

Wow the lagers are flying off the shelves! Not the biggest fan of Night Swimming but love to see it getting bought up

 

I hope breweries notice this. All to often you hear (a certain podcast) talk about how hops pay the bills. Well I think most breweries could do more than that and still sell out within a few days as long as it’s somethjng new. Hopefully it is a trend we see happen more and more. I do hope Kane has a year round lager to go soon.

 

I admittedly love IPAs and don't see anything wrong with breweries producing IPAs people love either though. But yea nice to see such a good response to a different style

 

Oh I’m not saying don’t brew them. Just is nice to see more variety from places lately.

 

Exactly. I was just up in Portland and almost every brewery had IPAs/DIPAs/pales with a few other styles thrown in here and there, but I happily bought many cans from Foundation, who had those styles but also a canned sour farmhouse, a hoppy farmhouse, a helles lager, a Pilsner, a Brown, etc.
We need people buying the other styles and they’ll make more hopefully.

 

that's the key. You look at "IPA factories" like Other Half, Tree House and Magnify, and while their hoppy beers fly out the door, when they brew pilsners, helles, etc. they hang around for weeks.

 

I think it’s because bros don’t like anything but juice and dessert beers. The breweries you mentioned are all one trick ponies IMO, very good at what they do though. They brew juice and dessert tasting stouts for the most part and very few other styles. So the clientele they attract will only by said type of beer.

 

and the majority of beers that Kane packages in bottles/cans are stouts/porters with adjuncts and hoppy stuff.

and calling Tree House a one trick pony is just not true.

 

Both sound good although I'm not biggest 'tose fan...Hoping this isn't the start of Kane going that route. Since it's a collab I am guessing this will be a one-off.

 

their fruited beers, like the punch series tends to use it.

so how crazy are we expecting this given the early announcement? t

 

Well technically it isn’t ‘tose, it’s oats. Not convinced myself but wanted to clarify.

 

My bad I didnt see the ‘tose in the blueberry beer. Thought we were talking about the other one.

 

@glennl did these beers get a output? Like these aren't going to sell out in <2 hours like the smaller batch HH/SB variants is it? I don't think i can get there until 2pm or later.

 

I can't speculate on when they'll sell out, but i'm pretty sure there's a lot more than there were DDH HH and sneak... like twice as much or more of each of today's release...

 

Awesome, thank you Glenn!


And "yield" was the word I was looking for, coffee was slow the to kick in apparently.
