New Glarus 2023

This has to be one of my favourite R&D beer. Did a tasting of 2014-2018 a couple years back and they were all phenomonal; each a little different but each vintage was tasty in its own way.

 

Anyone try the Vintage 2022? I am ISO and interested in hearing people's opinion. The Vintage series is fantastic.

 

Is the tasting room open yet?

 

Any updates on the lawsuit?

 

I think it’s on site consumption only.

 

Schedule is out for April-June. Strawbery Rhubarb comes back in June, Berliner Apfel comes later this month. There is a 30th anniv Belgian Quad.

Also there is a "Pilsner". Not sure if this is Hometown Blonde, or what

 

Please please please

Just looked at the calendar. The way it’s written, I think it’s just going to be self titled Pilsner. Guess we’ll wait and see what kind of recipe they go with

 

Bohemian? Please?

 

Per Chris Drosner, the WIBeerBaron on twitter -- "No Kid Kölsch this year. The pilsner - a dry-hopped approach to a German pils - is taking its place."

 

That sounds similar to hometown blonde ish

 

This is very sad news. There are plenty of solid local Pilsners available, but not Kolsch.

I like Dovetail and Old Irving’s Kolsch among local offerings, but liked Kid Kolsch the best.

RIP Revolution Ghost Ride cans.

 

You knew Ghost Ride was finished when they were giving cases of it away at Deep Wood pickups.

 

Ghost ride was really good one. Rip. I love dovetails. Too Much Cologne and Lu are two others Im perfectly content with. Especially when Lu 12pks are on sale at Binnys

that said, I’ll trade in any kolsch for world class pilsner. New Glarus Pilsners are probably my favorite in the country when we considered quality and pricepoint

In other lager news, Sierra Nevada summerfest is back this year. @steveh should be pleased by this news

 

Um, yeah -- well.

Bummed out about no Kid Kolsch. But I'll still snag some of this up.

 

Berliner Apfel? Am I the only one excited for that? Love everything with apples I've ever had from NG. The idea of an apple beer sounds nasty but they magically make it work. Pommier Sauvage is probably my favorite R&D I've had and I remember the previous coming of Berliner Apfel leaving me wishing I had bought more.
