New Glarus Schedule Update

where... is... apple.... ale!!!!!

 

Looking forward to the return of Hometown Blonde, although I wish it would've been Edel Pils instead.

 

Give me Enigma, Kriek, and Cranbic and you can keep the rest!

 

It would be cool if they switched between Cranbic and Apple every year

 

I would allow this if Enigma would be year round!

 

MMM Laughing Fox

 

Does anybody know for sure what the next thumbprint is? Or, have any news on the R&D series?

 

Who cares about that stuff, what's the deal with the R&D's?!?!?!

 

i was told on a hard had tour at the end of may it was a lambic. i imagine likely released the week of GTMW

 

The guys at Riley's in Madison said they heard Enigma is going to be the next thumbprint release.

 

That just means it is going to be crazy. I can't wait to see what Dan comes up with. Other than that, really looking forward to Staghorn. Probably my favorite beer of all time. Plus it means it is fall and football season.

 

Also hoping that the next R&D beer is released coinciding with Great Taste of the Midwest, still have a bottle left of the first R&D Gueuze waiting for a side by side comparison.

Looking forward to hometown blonde as I generally enjoy the Pilsners that come out of New Glarus (for the love of God please bring back Bohemian Pilsner next year).

Not very excited for Laughing Fox. It was a decent beer last year, but I can't ever see the situation that I'd rather have Laughing Fox than Dancing Man. Crack'd Wheat would have been the far superior choice in my opinion, but so it goes.

Never the less looking forward to picking up a bunch of New Glarus to drink in Minnesota while looking for that 52+ inch Muskie in September.

Cheers!

 

I really hope they release it during the week like they had last time. I would be able to use the only benefit known to working overnight, being able to get there at about 7 in the AM.

 

I took this pic when i went and visited WI over the July 4th weekend. You can't see it in the picture but it has "Enigma" written on the side

 

I grew to appreciate the Laughing Fox, but it's definitely the lesser compared to Dancing Man Wheat.

I miss the heck out of Crack'd Wheat. All we can do is keep voting for its return each year!

 

Apple ale was released a few times already, I'm want something different for a change!

Not sure why its taking them longer to release their thumbprint schedule and they're pretty "closed lip" if you email them as they won't say much, other than that's top secret information. (though a small part of me likes the suspense)
I'm guessing they'll reveal it around the 3rd week of August like they did in June with the Saison.

I was at the brewery 3 weeks ago and the young girl from their beer shop at the bottom had no idea what I was talking about, regarding the R&D, as her reaction was to point out their regular beer schedule.

And speaking of voting...New Glarus Brewing
Thought about doing a separate thread for this but it might as well belong here.

 

Interesting. I had thought that they aged Enigma in large oak foudres, not individual barrels.
