    It's ready when the folks at Surly say it is ready! I don't think you're ready for their jelly. Seriously though, our great community will start posting when they see it.

    Based on the Twitter post from last night, might have to make a trip up there next week for food and beer at the brewery!

    Cranberry Gose!

    Cranberry gueze sounds delicious. I think this is the first time surly is using fruit.

    They used cranberries in Surly Two. But I agree, sounds awesome.

    I was wrong on this - their cranberry beer was TWO - A stout brewed with cranberries.

    ONE was a Quad bock

    Fruit was used in Surly TWO.
    Also, this is a gose, not a gueze

    For those unsure I always think of it this way:
    Gose = Salt
    Gueuze/Gueze = no salt.
    Happy to help clear up that mystery in a very thorough manner.

    To further make this confusing:

    Goose = salt or no salt (really up to the chef)

    What was the hop in 2012? That was the only version of Wet I've had. It was incredible.

    I believe that 2012 was Simcoe and 2011 was citra (my favorite so far).

    2009 vintage: 50% Simcoe, 50% Citra hops
    2010 vintage: 50% Simcoe, 50% Citra hops
    2011 vintage: 100% Citra hops
    2012 vintage: 100% Simcoe hops
    2013 vintage: 75% Cascade, 25% Centennial hops

    I asked about Wet today at the Nein release. Apparently it will be out next week. October 5 was the date they gave me. They also said more info will show up tomorrow on social media.

    6,000 lbs is good news, assuming a correlation between quantity of hops and batch size.

    For comparison, 2013's Wet used 1,200 lbs of fresh hops (production cut back that year) and 2012 used 2,400 lbs.

    http://beerpulse.com/2012/10/2400-pounds-of-fresh-simcoe-hops-used-in-this-years-surly-wet-video/

    Although they used 1400 lbs in 2009 according to the article below, so I'm not sure what the "10 times as much" means, unless they are using quite a lot less hops per barrel.

    Hard to believe 10 lbs of hops per barrel is cutting back!
