So what is the distribution like on the BRUX? I get plenty of SN here in Florida but obviously no RR. Where was it brewed? I can only assume if it was brewed at SN then it should trickle to FL it brewed at RR them I S.O.L.
It's going out through SN's distro network, isn't it? I believe someone said that it was supposed to be a run on par with the 30th anniversary beers.
Yeah, it should make it here, but it takes a bit. When they first released the Ovilas they took foreeeever to get here. I'm having trouble being patient on this one though. I wants the Brux
Russian River had this on their blog: I'm sure many of you have heard about our collaboration with Sierra Nevada Brewing Company! This 2 year, 2 brewery, 2 family project is about to hit the streets and hopefully make it to a bottle shop near you! Set for National Release in July (I bet you thought you would never hear me say something like that!), BRUX was brewed in Chico (at Sierra Nevada) and will go through their distribution channels, which will, of course, greatly increase your chances of getting a couple of bottles. BRUX is a "domesticated wild ale", or an ale fermented with Belgian yeast, finished by a secondary bottle fermentation with Brettanomyces bruxellensis. It's a little more than 8% alcohol, very dry, earthy, spicy, and tasty. But wait, there's more! About 99% of BRUX was bottled in 750 ml bottles, so there will be almost none available on draft. Almost none, meaning that our brewpubs, Russian River and Sierra Nevada, will have it available on draft in July! The Russian River BRUX draft release is set for July 5th at 5pm at our pub in Downtown Santa Rosa. We will have no bottles or growlers available to go at our brewery due to state liquor laws. Then we move to Chico for Sierra Nevada's release on July 9th where they will have plenty of bottles for sale. Not sure about those details other than Vinnie and I are planning to attend! I do hope you get a chance to taste this exceptional collaboration with our friends at Sierra Nevada! Bottles of BRUX and Pliny just hanging out together! That's all for now! We are now officially on Facebook, if you are so inclined. If not, I am still planning to update my blog! Cheers! Natalie
If bretted in bottle it makes sense they won't have much on draft. I wonder how long the Brett has had to take hold at this point, might have to pickup a couple one for fresh and one to age.
haven't been to the OC in a while but if you're down in LA they might still have some at Sunset Beer Co. They've hit a couple places in LA if you strike out there
yeah just found some last week. Weird that SN distributes this and it takes so long to get down south.
