Alpine Brewing Thread

So $4 more than filling it at Alpine. GF is more convenient but I still like the feeling of Alpine, nice, small, cozy, and the food is delicious.

 

And a little different tasting. IMO

 

I think some are getting close.. Duet was almost spot on with a bottle. Haven't tried Nelson yet, Pure Hop has a ways to go still I think.

 

Alpine Nelson growler $14 out the door at alpine

 

I really hope they get all their beers dialed in. It would be much easier to land at GF instead of Alpine for growler fills. But no bottles. Once they start bottling at GF then it will be sold only at Alpine.

 

Well, that and the distribution, but since we've already seen deviation from their stated plan I wouldn't be entirely surprised to see bottles sold out of GF

 

$16 is a fair price these days.

 

Now that they're filling growlers of Alpine at GF, doubt you'll see many filled green flash growlers coming out of there.

 

That's just crazy talk. LOL

I thought that article would be a lot better than it was.

 

The fullpint lobbing softball pitches to maintain a relationship with a brewery? Why, I'm shocked! Shocked, I say!

 

Well, at least were getting Hoppy Birthday in bottles.

 

Yeah, they should have all been like "HAY YOU GUYS RUINED ALPINE, WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY TO THAT?"

 

What exactly would've been the up and ins? Other than asking about differences between GF versions of Alpine brews? Seems to me they covered the bases fairly well.

 

For such a short article, it had a few interesting notes.

 

I was just to Chuck's right when they took that picture.

Yawn...

 

Maybe we need to start a new thread called "Green Flash's takes over Alpine Beer Thread"
After all this Alpine Beer (not Brewing) thread will be old news soon.

 

I just read the Alpine Beer Co Facebook post today. They reiterated that new Nelson is in, that was brewed in alpine. I wonder if they were filling GF Nelson growlers and selling GF Nelson bottles the past few weeks ?

 

Bottles have all been from Alpine. Draft is a question mark, supposedly they were pouring GF draft in the Alpine pub so it's entirely possible that it was being used for growlers. You'd have to ask Alpine directly to get a clear answer and I suspect that wouldn't be a fun conversation to try and have.
