2016 New Glarus releases

The metal shrapnel is gone. Way better than last year!

Who's excited for Dancing Man next month?!

 

Also, 12 pack cans of Moon Man and Cow are coming. Shooting for a 2017 release but hoping for 2016.

 

Question on '16 Oud Bruin... do all the new bottles have "2016" on the top label? Bought a 4 pack the other day it it doesn't have it, saw them again last night and they say 2016 on the neck label. 2 year old bottles or left over labels to use up?

 

You should probably check the Julen date on the bottles that don't have the 2016 label to be sure.

 

Don't really see a julien date on the bottles, just a"1704" and a time. I remembered I have a bottle saved from 2014 and that bottle also has"1704" on it...

 

That's the date; it was bottled on the 170th day of 2014.

 

Out of curiosity where did you get the old four pack? I would be interested in doing a side by side.

 

My guess is that it was up in northern wi.

 

Where are you located? I have some extra I can spare.

 

I found it in Waukesha Co....pm me if really interested

 

I'm in the SW part of the state and thanks for the offer but I was able to get this done through a buddy this morning.

 

No problem, glad to hear you were able to get some to compare.

 

Reviving this thread a bit- drinking a Oud Bruin 2016. Much better than its 2014 counterpart, so I'm in full agreement with my fellow countryman @sherm1016. Zero metallic flavour to be found. It actually tastes like the description on the bottle states, both tart and sweet, in the Flemish tradition. I'm happy with this and definitely will be buying at least a couple more 4-packs.

 

I have to agree with everyone who said the 2016 Oud Bruin is much better than the last one. They got rid of the odd taste (but left the Oud taste har har). The fruit pops a bit more as well. Will be great in warmer weather.

On another note has anyone seen a 2016 batch of Scream?

 

Went to the brewery today to pick up beer and Dancing Man was running on the bottling line. So it should be soon; can't wait.

 

Well this is interesting...

New Glarus is hiring a distiller.

Eisbock?

 

I love this, but I love it more as a summer beer.
