    I suppose "often" might be an overstatement. We probably only hear of the times the packages don't arrive and people get grumpy. Either way, it made sense for us to offer both options of GLS and UPS depending on people's preferences.

    Happy to jump online to interact with beer advocates. Also, people can PM me if they have questions or comments they don't want on the discussion board.

    Cheers,
    Eric

    Got an e-mail saying they are moving to free shipping (for cases, in California) all the time, and that they will be releasing Double Check, Gravity Check, and Kern Lite in the coming weeks.

    Oktoberfest and Pumpkin beers now available (just in time for 114F temps! ;-) - the former is very well reviewed, looking forward to trying some.

    @KRBCEric when can we expect Wet Exit 2022? Last years batch was one of my favorites for CA. Expecting the same this year.

    Good call @dcgunman! I'll gladly grab some for shipment if it's canned.

    It’s fresh wet hop season and CA doesn’t get enough wet luv as the two above us.

    We are slated for Sept 15th canning. If anything delays, it would be the 19th.

    We received a shipment of fresh Strata along with a bunch of breweries in LA and SD, so expect to see a bunch of Strata wet hopped beers in So Cal soon.

    Cheers,
    Eric

    I just placed my order for case of Citra. I completely forgot about this years batch being on holiday in Korea the first 2 1/2 weeks of November. I see they will have Winter Ale available on Dec 2. Another great west coast dipa.

    Class V available now as well - was hoping they'd brew enough Citra with Nectaron to ship out a little, but I'm happy to see Winter ale.

    Having a Citra right now. I think this batch is missing a little “bite.” A bit mellow, but still well balanced and tasty. Kern is a favorite and I want this years Winter IPA asap!

    A good batch indeed. Not better than last 2 batch’s. I don’t get that clean fresh aroma or taste. But still 12 cans good. Will give out some cans to friends and family. Otherwise Winter Ale is right around the corner. Need to make room soon. Many cheers to the KRBC crew/team.

    Doesn’t look like anyone else posted this yet—Kern River is now 100% employee owned! Bravo!
