It's something dark and sour

 

The first R&D came out June 10 last year. They announced what it was on FB around May 27.

So this year: next Friday 5/26 possibly, or soon thereafter

I am also expecting Vintage to be the first one (no inside info though)

 

Does anyone know anywhere in Madison with strawberry rhubarb?

 

does the depot or woodmans's have berlier weiss? how's it tasting this year?

 

Should for sure be at the Depot because some stores have it already. Would call ahead before making a trip though. Can't speak for taste... haven't had it yet

 

Woodman's has it. I bought some but haven't had any yet

 

Riley's has a decent amount left as of around 11am Saturday. Haven't seen it anywhere else since it originally hit a ways back.

 

I know Steve's University is all out of it as I checked there yesterday.

 

Next R&D is Sour Porter. Also, Raspberry Tart 4pks coming in June

 

Are they planning eventually putting all the fruit beers in 4 packs?

 

No. Deb said that in fear of losing shelf space since the Rhubarb 4pks flew off the shelves, they decided to do a short run of Raspberry Tart in 4pks to fill the shelves. Will be a rare offering that probably won't happen again for a long time.

 

Ok, thank you. it kind of sucks this'll only be a one time thing. The fruit beers are excellent, but very sweet, a six ounce pour is about perfect for me.

 

Sour Porter? Nice. I'll come up for the Saturday release only, probably.

 

It's great to see tart in 4 packs. But not sure how this will help in filling shelves. This will go as fast as rhubarb.

 

What's the PP count for RnD bottles?

 

Good, was hoping it wouldn't be VSB again, no one wants more of that crap

 

How rude of Dan to not take your opinion into account when he makes his most personal products.

We all want VSB to return at some point, but it isn't our brewery, and, as I always seem to be reminding people, breweries (and artists in general) owe us nothing (and vice versa).

 

Not AS fast, you can still find Tart on shelves in bombers. Strawberry Rhubarb has been missing in any form for a while now.

 

Assuming they keep the 4-pack price similar to the Thumbprint releases, it might move very quickly just based on value and convenience, compared to the 750ml bottles. Not that I'm complaining.
