    Just got this in an email from the brewery:

    Nineteen
    Weyerbacher is NINETEEN years old now! For the past 8 years, we’ve released a special over-10% ABV beer to celebrate our birthday and this year is no exception! Nineteen will be a sour hybrid - a Tart Mango Wheat Ale! The beer does not yet exist in its final form as it is made of two different beers, which will be blended. Part 1, a sort of super-Berlinner Weisse, is complete. That beer will be combined with part 2, which will be a higher alcohol, mango wheat beer, which we have not yet brewed. More to come on this! We’re shooting for a June 2014 release date.

    Weyerbacher isn't my favorite brewery but I do love a good Berliner Weisse.

    I'm guessing the Berliner Weisse part is going to be very similar to the limited release Tart Noveau.

    Sounds pretty good to me. I'll be looking for a bottle or two when it's out.

    They mention bottling options? XVIII was 4 packs...

    Seventeen was tasty... this sounds crazy, but if it comes in a 4pk I might give it a try.

    Always been four packs as long as I have been buying the anniversary releases.

    My memory is hazy. I thought back in the day(say 10?), they were bombers.

    Yup, Twelve & Thirteen were in bombers as well (both in four packs too, if I recall correctly). Love some of the old Weyerbacher Anniversary beers & used to pick them up in volume - haven't done that since Sixteen. This one sounds promising, looking forward to it!

    Sign me up! Fifteen was an excellent Smoked Imperial Stout. Sixteen was amazing, if you like Braggots and meads.

    Hey BAs!

    Weyerbacher Nineteen is indeed a tart mango wheat beer which will be over 10% ABV. It will be a blend of two beers: a super-Berliner Weisse which will 'make tart' the mango wheat beer. This is really new info as the mango wheat bit is as yet un-brewed.

    It will be available in 12oz bottles packed in 4 packs in cases of 6/4 packs as well as 1/6 bbl kegs.

    @maximum12 is correct: the 22oz packages ended with Thirteen as we got rid of the old machine in favor of the 750ml bottling line prior to the production of Fourteen.

    Fresh news as of TODAY, we will have a total of FOUR kegs of Tarte Nouveau at Weyerbacher's Visitors Center starting on Sunday, May 18th. This will be the first Sunday we ever open since the days of the old Pub on South 6th Street. To celebrate the VC fianlly going 7 days a week, we'll also tap our only keg of Sunday Morning Stout! GROWLERS OF EACH WILL BE AVAILABLE! Sunday Morning Stout may be growlered-up that morning in advance to aid the delays of many people wanting that beer in a growler at once. Tarte Nouveau will be available to buy in our growlers or to fill BYO growlers.

    Hope this all helps!

    Cheers!

    Been on board this series since Fourteen, with Eighteen being the fav. thus far, but this one definitely sounds like it has the potential to top that!!

    Love sour, mango and wheat. I will be sure to pick up a four pack no question.

    Any word on when exactly this will hit distro? I know the post says "aiming for a June 2014" release date, but is there a concrete date set yet?

    Track down a Thirteen. You will be blown away. Best Belgian stout ever brewed.

    If you haven't had Tiny you should try it. It is a slightly reworked 13.
