Casa Agria Specialty Ales

Fortunately the tasting room isn't completed and not its full size yet. I'm sure once the upcoming release happens, they'll have time to work on it once again. Can't wait for 4/9.

 

Ha! I actually said the same thing when Del Norte was first out and now the Mega Citronic. Great stuff that pretty much no one else in SoCal is doing so well. As far as the tasting room goes, it's just a temporary set up from what I know, the actual, main tasting room is still under construction.

 

Nobody in CA is making a good Citra IPA????

 

Think he means of the orange juice looking variety

 

Ah... I just slap an untappd filter on all my IPA checkjns to make them look hazier. Makes em taste way better.

 

gotta prop up that trade value for tree house cans somehow ;D

 

I have a hard time finding a good readily available one. Noble Citra Showers and KRBC Citra Double are both amazing but not available nearly as often as Id like! Im really looking forward to trying the Casa IPA, Ive enjoyed all of their beers to date.

 

I need to use more emojis.

 

I know you say it's not a destination, but I'm making it one lol. Hitting up Lady Face, and since it was mentioned here, definitely hitting up Institution. Can anyone be as kind to recommend any others? Or anything surrounding worth checking out? Open to Wine places as well (for the wife). Cheers gents!

 

Enjoy. When I was there, a group showed up from Modesto - they said they drove specifically to visit Casa, so I guess it could be a destination. Glad to hear that they're building it out.

 

B+P also can't shake unclean tap lines.

 

Very true, they get some great stuff in the bottle shop. And even great stuff on draft. But it always tastes off because of their cleanliness

 

Wades Wines in Westlake for beer and wine, your wife should like it there. Also, Topa Topa in Ventura has a really nice bourbon barrel imperial stout on right now if your into that type of beer.

 

Unclean tap lines and Dirty Glasses??? Thanks for the recommendation, but I'll stick to the breweries

 

Let's get this thread back to Casa....that zarzamora is gonna be the tits! So many good offerings coming out April 9

 

Planning on making the trip, they open at 1pm so is that the time of the release?

 

From the member email:
Join us April 9, from 12-8pm at Casa Agria for the release of 3 new bottled beers!

 

Cool thanks, hoping they'll send out a non-member email soon.

 

I have been rather impressed by not just the quality, but the quantity of releases and variations that Casa has released so far. They usually have 6-8 beers on at all times, and still have bottle releases for members and even public. I can't imagine it being easy for new breweries to be able to churn out quality and quantity right from the get go. Excited for their newer stuff to come down the pipeline that they brew with the solera method. Should just continue to add layers of complexity to their already quality first run batches.

 

Unfortunately, I'll be out of town for the release but hope you all will report back with pics of the beer and feedback on how the release was. I'm just as excited as all of you for Zarzamora.
