Bottle Count for Cascade Figaro?

Hey Folks,

One of the Cascade crew stated that roughly 30 cases of Figaro were set aside for the Barrel House and the rest went to Cali. I didn't ask if The Lodge will have any available.

 

Nope, it was on tap at the barrel house for a bit but no release dates yet for the Figaro, Strawberry or Apricot. Seems Cascade may have gotten a bit ahead of themselves with the announcement of all these June releases (so far they have all fallen through with the exception of Sang Noir).

 

I saw somewhere that Cascade said that they will "be available in 2012". So, sometime during the next six months.

 

Apparently Cascade just printed the labels for Apricot and Strawberry! So happy!

 

I've had this year's Apricot on tap and if the bottle is even close it's gonna be awesome. Probably in my top five sours and quite a bit better than the 2010.

 

I'm more excited about Strawberry. Only strawberry sour I've had without a diacetyl infection. Figaro is very smooth too.

 

I found it interesting that the weekly Cascade email mentioned Apricot and Strawberry but had no mention of Figaro like in past emails.

 

Strawberry may be dropping next week, with Figaro following soon after. Both will be out within 3 weeks, and I'm betting Apricot comes out same day as Figaro. Strawberry is looking to have its own release date, however.

 

And the source of your information is?

 

I'd prefer not to say. But it's all from the barrel house/rac.

 

So do you know what the limit/price will be for Figaro?

 

$21, two bottle limit, 40 cases at RAC and Barrel Room, it looks like.

Not sure on Strawberry, but I'd assume $17-18. No idea on limits.

 

any new news on the release of figaro and strawberry seeing as apricot was released on friday?

 

Still not ready, asked tonight.

 

thanx i personally am excited to try them both

 

I am honestly worried if the bottles aren't ready... since they've been in bottles since May... on tap they are pretty good. we shall see

 

Bottles now slated to be ready before the end of August.

What are the odds it's a complete disaster at this point? 75%?

 

Over 9000

 

Someone set us up the bomb!
