Kuhnhenn questions!

They have raspberry and blueberry eisbocks. The raspberry was "released" once in 2004, 07, and again this year. The first two releases were low bottle count... This years was still pretty low, but they made substantially more than previous years, and it was in 375 mL bottles this last time, as opposed to 167 mL.

The blueberry was first released this year and only around ~250 bottles or so, so it will soon be a whale I'm sure, especially since they've said it's not likely they'll be making more of it. But with Kuhnhenn, things can always change.

As far as their other beers go, they have plenty of other amazing/world-class caliber offerings.

 

The eisbocks were $30 for a 375ml bottle, they are long gone though. They don't bottle a lot in general, and everything is expensive from them. When available 4D ($7 a bottle) and BB4D ($8 a bottle) are awesome. They are supposed to release more BB4D and TRIPA for summer solstice (June 22), but who knows how much they will have.

 

I personally don't have any left. Put up an ISO. Raspberry should be doable with low bottle count stuff, or over $4$ on limited shelf stuff. Blueberry... You're going to need some big guns for that.

 

I've had both on draft. I liked both quite a bit, but personally I am a bigger fan of the raspberry.

 

Ontario being a neighbour of Michigan, our local LCBO store received a shipment of 4D. BB Jan 1 2017.

Much appreciated and highly recommended, paired it up with spicy grilled salmon one day and grilled tenderloins the next, 13.5 % ABV so you sip it like wine, no shotgunning.

This was probably a one time offering so now I have to decide if I want to go clear some store shelves or visit the brewery when Im down there next month...decisions, decisions......

 

I personally preferred the blueberry, but I like both quite a bit.

 

They were good, but they are just beer. The clouds didn't part, the angels didn't sing, and I didn't stop looking for new stuff to drink

I should add that BB4D is my favorite beer, so I do love Kuhnhenn.

 

Agree with Andygirl...The Blueberry is my preference..But both are good...

 

Blueberry was much better than the Raspberry. Had both on initial release this year. Wasn't even close.

 

I thought Raspberry was much better. Blueberry was more syrupy, I thought. Both bottle and tap.

 

I'd much rather have a growler of fresh DRIPA.

 

Kuhnhenn is outstanding.

 

If traditional Eisbock is what you're after then these beers are not the ones that will satisfy your hunt. However, the raspberry is a stellar beer nonetheless and any self respecting member of this forum should at least have an iota of interest in obtaining a bottle.
