    The best bet is to check the Brewery's To-Go Beer page. For example, Tete and Oude Ferm are definitely at the brewery (and shown on that page), even though they aren't available for online ordering.

    If you had told me 5 years ago Oude Ferm was sitting at the brewery to go for months on end, I'd have laughed at you. Sours are just dead it seems.

    I remember when I thought I hit the lottery when we showed up in town as they just happened to announce the first day offering a three year vert of Tete, and met @Affinity to boot. A stellar experience.

    For something like the Coco Vibes package, which is still available in the store - are they still strict about the 3 week policy? I'm just trying to buy my proxy a little time and get him a window to go combined with the LC release this week - really don't want to make two trips for him - I can't imagine they'd care when you can still order that package online today, but maybe I'm off. Appreciate any feedback.

    Definitely don't think they'd mind as long as you gave them a polite heads up. I've seen stuff picked up at the brewery weeks after the window closed.

    As far as I know, Anabasis has been sitting available to-go in KC for awhile too.

    Looks like Kriek Noir du Fermier coming up based on the member calendar. I thought the 10th anniversary batch of NdF was incredible so definitely curious to find out more about this

    First ever library release? Havnt they done vintage sales before. Would be nice if we got an early crack at it, but highly doubt it.

    The picture of the 10-Year BW could be an all-time tease.

    Looks like a “vintage” package release.

    I would have no problem with buying a package if you are telling me I get to pay retail on 10 yr BW guaranteed. Hopefully not just a random package luck of draw.

    So this new package seems like it's gonna set a new record for sticking around. It's just a blend of beer. Beer that's not even that popular in the first place. Not sure why that's going to intrigue anyone at those prices.

    The dark beer is actually not egregiously priced. It’s just packaged with a sour packed with expensive, acidic fruit at $40 per bottle. Package it with a white label for a $50 package, and it probably moves.

    Who ever said this was a package?

    Email just says library release.

    I doubt they would package CDC b1 with 10 year BW and Oude Fermier. CDC b1 was a 1pp LC only bottle. 10 year BW was 1pp over the 10 year anniversary and not guaranteed to LC.

    I think you guys just have (P)PTSD, package post traumatic stress disorder.
