2017 New Glarus Thread

Dancing Man is on the shelves in Madison. Per Star FB page anyway

 

Ultra fresh and oh so delicious!

 

Has strawberry rhubarb hit thumbprint yet? Gonna be in Wisconsin this weekend.

 

Thanks. Is it currently enigma and apple ale?

 

Dancing Man Wheat is a national treasure. I feel like the bubblegum/banana/hefe flavors are extra-sharp and fresh this year.

 

Mid-April for Strawberry Rhubarb

 

Anyone have more specific releases info on sr?

 

-Thumbprint April release = soon
-Thumbprint packaging = 4 pack bottles
-Thumbprint Pricing = cheap (~$10 - $12)
-Thumbprint Distribution = it will be everywhere in Wisconsin (grocery stores, liquor stores, bait shops)

I think that covers everything.

 

Recent comments on Facebook indicate a May release.

 

It was scheduled to drop 4/17 but haven't heard anything since last month.

 

Thanks for bumping this thread. I know the first of the three releases is still ~ 2 months away but does anyone have any intel on what any of this year's R&D releases is? I hope to make the trip up to Madison for the June release. TIA.

 

R&D Vintage will most likely be one of the releases.

 

I've never gone to an R&D release for NG. Is it relatively easy to get a few bottles?

 

If it's not fruited, it couldn't be much easier to get 2 bottles. If it is fruited it'll be way crazier, and still nowhere near as hard as most other releases out there.

 

I've never been but whenever I read about them it seems like it's a very long wait, but lots of bottles available.

But again, that's 3rd person.

 

Interesting since the only reference I have from someone is that it didn't take too long at all. Guess we'll both find out in two months ha.

 

I went last year to one. Showed up maybe 20-30 mins before the doors opened, walked right in after a nice thank you from the owner and had my bottles in about 10 mins or less. It really couldn't be easier, you'll be shocked compared to basically any other release I've ever been to.

 

FWIW I went on Fridays the last two years and had my bottles in about ten minutes from arrival. Can't speak for Saturday. I think cutting last year's to only three releases maybe meant there was more to go around.
