    Carpool?

    If not, I'll still probably go. And I'll just bring a whole nother ice chest full of beer...

    I'll bring a couple sours (Cascade / Cantillon). This will be a good time!

    Yep, heard this also. Word is they adopted the method of a nearby brewery for their bottling of barrel-aged brews.:wink:

    I'd be willing to make the drive from Dallas. Do they limit the bottles per person or could I pick up a case or 2?

    The Ananke release is different then La Muerta based off of the popularity with the local crowd. Ananke is probably more popular with the BA crowd and thus garnishes more attention but La Muerta is more popular with the local non-BA crowd. So even with equal bottle counts one will sell out faster then the other.

    Of course what do I know, San Antonioans(?) might be obsessed with sours now

    They are also not going to be doing that again. I'm getting there early for the bottle share but not really for the line.

    hopefully not. it really had my panties in a knot! :angry: Hopefully less corn flavor in this years batch as well. diacetyl is no ones friend. but only in some of the bottles.

    Man, I hope I can make it out this year, or else I might have to have someone mule me some bottles. :slight_frown:

    Bottle limit permitting, I can help you out.

    I will be there with a few RS exclusives in hand.

    That usually fades with time for most sours. When they are young there can be a corn finish. Also diacetyl is buttery not corn as far as I am aware

    Let's not plan the bottle share until Scott gives his blessing. He is usually cool with it but I will email him to ask if its cool.
    Cheers!

    La muerta was fun and I hope this is kind of like that. But I just realized that's day I graduate. :slight_frown: I have to find out what time.

    Not sure about this one... the 2 bottles I got from the last release were horribly infected with wild yeast.
