Cycle/ccb bottle releases

if anybody is looking for Zhukov, I'm still seeing it around at several stores in Broward. Lucky's Market Coral Springs had several bottles on shelf the other day for $13.99 which is $3 less than the markup of Total Wine and other shops.

 

Ccb canned vanilla Maduro, so happy to see them expanding their canning offerings locally. Can't wait to crush 12oz cans of this stuff. Also hope this leads to things like oatmeal raisin cookie making a packaging comeback

 

I was told by two different people working behind the bar that they would be canning oatmeal raisin cookie within the next month or two. If so, much excite.

 

After having Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Stout (Zhukov) at the Red Banner dinner.... one can only hope that is reaches bottles sometime even if super limited. Was absolutely amazing.

 

Park Tavern has WOJA, blueberry WOJA, peach WOJA, and humidor JA (cedar) on tap

 

Is Cycle also releasing a batch of the TG collab?

 

Damn. I wish I saw this sooner. I hope there is still some left. Calling Park Tavern as I write this!

 

Regular White Oak and Humidor kegs already kicked. They still have the peach and blueberry. The price for a pint is a bit insane though at $12.

 

Hey guys - I'm in New Smyrna Beach (from SC) for Labor Day Weekend - just wondering what my chances are of scoring any WOJA around here? Also, is anything from Cycle worth looking for in this area of the state? Thanks guys - cheers!

 

I haven't seen WOJA around for a few weeks. Cycle beers are only available at the brewery in St. Pete.

 

That's no longer true but I'm not sure kegs get to East Count accounts, I'm afraid. Safe travels; cheers!

 

From what I've heard on here previously it's true only gulf coast accounts are getting cycle kegs.

 

If you guys haven't stopped by to try the 18th Street collab at the tasting room, you should. Available for growlers too :tu

 

Your best bet for any CCB stuff is the Total Wine in Daytona. Other than that, make sure to check out NSB Brewing on Canal Street. It's nothing special but the owners are good people and it's a nice little low key brewery the fits in perfectly with the small town/old florida beach town vibe that is NSB (my home town). You should also check out Tomoka Brewery in Port Orange (10 minutes north of NSB). They have a nice diverse lineup, bottle releases, and really good food offferings.

 

Looks like they are gonna can FL Man, hopefully it's better out of cans than the bottles, personally I thought this past bottling was mediocre.

 

Ditto. My first thought was I wish they would just put these resources into making Guayabera cans readily available year round.

 

I didn't think Florida Man was such a big hit to warrant canning, but I guess they know better than we do.

More Guayabera, less DIPAs, please.

 

Maybe it was more because the *$14 bombers ...bombed?

The draft versions 2 years ago were great so I'll remain hopeful the cans are better than the bottles have been. Either way, we don't have much for DIPA can options around so I'm sure it will sell well.

*don't remember exactly what they were priced, maybe it was the 110k+batch 8 that was $14 and they were a little cheaper.
**either way, bomber IPA/DIPAs are stupid and I applaud cans.

 

^This. Big time. Funky Buddha tried to do the same thing with their Hop Stimulator DIPA which was priced similarly. Both are good DIPA's but when you charge $14 for 22oz of a DIPA it will sit. Put these beers in a 4 pack of 16oz tall boys and price it for $10-$12 and my guess is both those beers will sell much better.

 

Or price the bomber at $3.5-$4...because that's basically the $/oz you're talking about with a $10-$12 4pack of 16oz cans. Its not the format so much but the cost that is the issue.

Although it would be interesting to see which would sell better a $4 DIPA bomber or a $12 4 pack of 16oz cans. I could be the pros and cons of each format/pricing and don't know which would people would prefer
