Can someone give me a breakdown on Casey?

Let's not forget that Troy is pretty much flying solo with this whole brewing and blending thing. There are only so many hours in the day to get shit done. I think it's far less calculated than were suggesting here.

 

Where are you walking out with 2 cases (unless you're a member) with the limits set at:

The Low End - $15 - 2 BOTTLE LIMIT
Brett Loves Citra - $18 - 6 BOTTLE LIMIT
Dry Hop Oak Theory Amarillo and Simcoe - $24 - 1 BOTTLE LIMIT
The Cut: Montmorency Cherry - $36 - 2 BOTTLE LIMIT

 

I think Casey Brewing and Blending has one employee, and his name is on the bottles.

 

I kind of like the 3hr drive. Just for a few Casey beers? No. But a beautiful drive into the great Rocky Mointains and being in a shangrila/Mecca of camping, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, wildlife, nature, some of the best ski and summer resorts, lakes, streams.... It's a nice, relaxing weekend getaway

Sure, CS and The Source are nice if you want to keep the urbanite feel, but I do that all week. It's a great change of pace. Even monthly if I could do it.

 

Are you going to drink them or blindly buy them to trade?

 

My wife and I planned a trip to Colorado and specifically planned it around a Casey release. I can't tell you how excited I am to see the city, the scenery and meet some great people. Oh yeah, and try some great beer. I know it seems like an inconvenience at times to make the 3 hour drive, and this is going to sound like hippy nonsense, just remember to cherish it. An amazing beer (haven't had the chance to try the one East Bank I have from them yet), within a 3 hour drive through beautiful mountains sounds like a win to me. There are times it takes me and hour and 15 minutes to get to Jester King from Downtown Austin on a Friday and that's only 18 miles and I have nothing but bumper to bumper traffic to look at and anger me. Cheers and I'm sure I'll see some of you in August. Enjoy the 4th, I bet it'll be amazing.

 

You're gonna have a good time.

 

^This. Just remind yourselves all the demand, and Troy is pretty much doing it himself. Granted he could expand, but expansion isn't always easy or cheap and a lot of times mean debt.

 

You really are right about this. The drive to and from Glenwood (especially the 45 minutes or so closest to Glenwood) is absolutely beautiful. 6 hours of driving in a day for beer is a lot, but I'll never complain about it because of the scenery.

 

Agreed, it takes a big commitment, basically devoting an entire day off but that I bet that payoff is worth it, lol.
