Avery BA Series #26?

Insula Multos Collibus flew under my radar.

Well apprently @rekrappy isn't screwing around anymore, look at that case #

Label says bottled April 22nd. I'm guessing they have #26 already bottled and is conditioning?

 

#28 is Fortuna...but what is #26?

 

#26 is Tectum Et Elix. Sour aged in Cabernet Sauvignon berrels.

 

Also, barrels.

 

Wow, 3 new Avery BA sours? It was pretty nice just having Casey ravaging my wallet for awhile, guess that's over with now that Avery finally woke up.

 

The label approvals most likely, hence all they posted was information shown in the images and nothing more.

You can always message @rekrappy or wait for him to post in this thread.

 

With those types of case #'s, I don't see a need to drive up there for a release.

 

The new facility alone is reason to go up for a release. It's a modern marvel in the same state as NB and Odell. Even the food is good.

 

The food is better than good... I want to swim in those cheese grits... but I would rather not go up when it is clusterf'd busy on a release day.

 

The seating areas are definitely small. But when I went up for UJ (granted it was terrible weather and hardly anyone showed early), the area where they did the release was down a wicked long hall along the production line with beer stations along the way.
Finding a place to sit after may be a pain, but the line party will be kickass, plus you can buy up to their limit and not get stuck with the 1 or 2 bottle limit stores tend to have and no 8% tax, which is almost $12 if you somehow find a way to buy 12 bottles retail, which is another beer. It's simply more fiscally responsible to go on release day, or so I tell myself and my wife.

 

I may go up for one of the releases, but I agree with those kind of case #'s, it would be nice if they release them on the same day vs. having to make two trips one week apart.

 

Are any bottles from previous releases still available at the brewery?

 

Yes, there are bottles of the last 2-3 larger releases in the cooler upstairs. I'm bad with the names, but I bought a few 2 weeks ago.

 

Boom, boom, boom. Tectum et Elix, Insula multos Collibus and Fortuna release events have been posted on their facebook page.

3 Sundays in a row.

 

Karmarita in bottles?!?! Holy crap!

 

What? Seriously?
When/where/how much?

 

Karmarita AKA Fortuna, apparently...except the ABV is 2.1% higher

It releases May 3 @ 11:00. Release notes:

No. 28 in our Barrel-Aged Series
8.1% ALC/VOL

"As luck would have it, our amigos at Suerte dig our brews as much as we do their tequila. They graciously provided their finest barrels. We filled them and created sour, salty, and citric awesomeness."

We aged this beauty in Suerte Tequila barrels for 9 months, then added fresh lime zest and Maldon salt!
