New Glarus Brewing (2018)

Does New Glarus usually have a release before or after Great Taste of the Midwest?

 

Yes there will be a R&D release, with details announced a week or so before.

 

Went to the brewery yesterday, had 12 oz bottles of Belgain red and Serendipity for the fruit beers. For the R&D's there was Gotlandic, Sour Porter, Pommier Sauvage, Champ Rouge, Vintage 2016 and 25th Anniversary. One was running pretty low but otherwise they were fully stocked.

 

I stumbled upon some Wild Sour at Hy-Vee East in Madison today. Happy 4th of July!

 

Anyone see wild sour ale in MKE area yet? Any ideas on allotments?

 

It's open to order but Beechwoods stock is declining rapidly. Not sure if they're getting a second drop of this. Will hit Monday.

 

What is the price of a 4 pack of Serendipity at the brewery?

 

This doesn't help but Serendipity isn't available yet.

 

I literally just came from the depot an hour ago and they had 4 packs of Serendipity. Also had Wild Sour with no limits at $12.50/4 pack. Gotlandic appears to have been restocked per the previous photo that was posted. Still plenty of the other R&Ds. Saw people leaving with waxed 750s of the fruits for previous posters who were asking about them. Was told Mistral (my biggest want!) Is gone for good. Raspberry Tart was also sold out.

Hope this helps someone and thanks to previous posters for keeping the info up to date!

 

Will be bringing a first-timer to visit the brewery this afternoon. Bummer that Mistral is gone, I really enjoyed that one especially in the weather. Will be bringing a first-timer to visit the brewery this afternoon, should be fun.

 

Was there for the hard hat tour on Friday and they were bottling Strawberry Rhubarb. Our tour guide thought 2 weeks until it hits the depot but it might be sooner. Also, R&Ds are limit 4 per person which I find strange since they have more than 4 available.

Also, Mistral was still on tap at least when I was there. Not sure if it lasted through the weekend though.

 

I think it was four per type per person. I know I walked out yesterday with more than four total.

 

Anyone know what the ballpark cost on the R&D bottles typically is?

 

The 25th Anniversary Ale was $15 per, limit 4 pp at release.

 

They're all $15.

 

I'm going to be in Waukesha County this weekend and my wish list includes Wild Sour Ale, Cran-bic, Stone Soup, Strawberry Rhubarb, Serendipity, Raspberry Tart, and Imperial Weizen (as well as Central Waters Peruvian Morning and Cassian Sunset).

Two questions: First, are any of those definitely not available at this point or will be really hard to find? Second, I'm planning to hit Discount Liquors and Woodmans in Waukesha and Sonoma Cellars in Oconomowoc - are there any other obvious places I am missing?

 

Total Wine, in Brookfield, is probably worth the drive.

 

I was at Discount Milwaukee yesterday - I don't remember seeing Cranbic or Stone Soup, but I believe they should be around. Everything else should be available, except Strawberry Rhubarb.

 

You won't find Strawberry Rhubarb in any populated areas now, but if you go through some small towns off the beaten path odds are you can still find it. Stop in a little grocery store or gas station and try your luck. Has worked for me many times

 

Has anybody seen Sour 2018 outside of the brewery store? Near Milwaukee or Brookfield?
