    Just wondering, not that I'm complaining as the longer it takes to be ready the less freezing it will be in Ithaca. Sure would love to get some, though. I figure someone may know something in this forum. Anyone?

    Ahh, I am duly chastised. Thank you for that. If it makes you feel better I am smacking myself mercilessly with my left hand and typing with my right :slight_smile:

    Damn, beat me to it. Put up a thread under Beer Releases, anyway.

    Y'know, I was planning on going to this and was actually happy it wasn't in December or January, because I was actually in England at the time. "Great, any other weekend this winter / spring after Winter Break, I can go!" I thought. And now it's April 14, when I have chaperone a goddamn field trip of college students to Virginia.

    You're killin' me, Ithaca.

    Last year they had cases available at the brewery for about 6 weeks.

    with the way things are going in the craft beer world, i would be surprised if that is duplicated this year. although ithaca really isn't near anything, haha.

    There was plenty to go around at last year's Brute release, even, which was in the middle of summer (and the day before BCTC to boot). I really can't imagine this being some huge clusterfuck.

    I agree. There almost certainly is no need to rush up there on the 14. Come at leisure at a later date.

    Yeaaaah but my fear is that seeing as this is likely to be the last sour from Ithaca for a while, if not ever, then if nothing else there'll be a shitload of ISOs. Not that it's a bad thing necessarily, but it's hard to say if that will have an effect on the release or not.

    Disclaimer: JUST speculation.

    Not sure if I'll be able to make it up for the release with a bunch of other stuff going on in April so if anyone wants to split a case I'll throw in some nice extras for the trouble. BM me if interested.
