    My guess is Kern will have most (if not all) of those plus some. Maybe not the cask but who knows.

    TUESDAY, Nov 8th: Kern River Floods O’Brien’s. Our friends at Kern River will be coming down to share their amazing beers again. This year we will have a special treat – a Nickel/Kern River collaboration brewed just for SD Beer Week. The brew is a light colored IPA made with Tahoma and Amarillo Hops. It will be on both draft and cask for this night and the cask will have Citra hops in it.
    The beer list is unbelievable with kegs of Shuttle Bunny, Citra, JO IPA, 1310 Porter, Gravity Check Session IPA, River Buddy (hoppy pale), Think Tank #11 (experimental IPA series), Class X Barrel Aged Stout, and Hop Nookie. An awesome tap list will be accompanied by amazing Taco Specials.
    Plus cask of Citra Double IPA from Kern River with Passion Fruit on the 11th.
    All sound amazing. But no Class V? I hope Class V will be on this weekend.

    If you haven't been to Kern and experienced the greatness & atmosphere while drinking their beers then it's worth the wait.

    Driving from Vegas to pick up Citra on Saturday. What other beers will be available for purchase? Any recommendations for a bottle shop to stop at in the area? Do they do growler fills and if so are they Kern River specific or can I bring my own? This is a 10 hour round trip for me so trying to make sure I plan ahead. Really looking forward to this road trip.

    I'm by no means a KRBC pro like some on here, but from my trip last year for Citra.. for a bottle shop, up the street from KRBC there's a gas station that has a pretty good selection, as for growlers, they fill KRBC only.

    They fill KRBC glass only. Besides the Shell station down by the park Sierra Market across the street usually has some bottles.

    I'll be there on Saturday as well. Like mentioned above, KRBC growlers only. Not sure on the cost of the glass. I bought my 4 growlers back when it was $5ea. They should have most all of their recent releases this weekend. Shuttle Bunny, Hop Nookie, Gravity Check, JO, Class X, etc. I'm sure somebody here will be up there today and chime in on what's on tap, growler fills and bottle availability. @aquazr1
    Safe journeys.

    So how is it looking for growler fills of citra if someone was to drive 2 1/2 hours with his 3yr old daughter?

    Not good. They won't fill growlers of Citra.
