CCB White Oak

Well I might have to stop by on my way home cause that will be the freshest batch!

 

How long does this normally hang around? Ill be around in 3 weeks.

 

You should be able to find it in three weeks because it won't be in stores till Monday or so at the earliest.

 

it'll be gone from the tasting room by Monday i imagine

 

Like, "by Monday" by Monday, or "three hours from now" by Monday?

 

yes

 

Glad I made the trip now then. Just in cases.

 

I vote for 5:00 weekday beer releases. The early afternoon makes me worry.

 

I really like when they release on Wednesday or something. Keeps it feelin local nom'sayin?

 

I don't get why this is such a big deal this time around. I love WO as much as the next guy, but the January batch had HUGE distro. It hit every beer store from mom and pop to total wine in mass quantities and could still be found into the beginning of March.

 

Any chance of this batch making it out of Florida?

 

Depends on what you want to mail me back?

 

I'm in Pittburgh, but would absolutely kill for some White Oak. If anyone could assist I would be very much indebted to you.

 

Because I didn't want to go to Total Wine twice a day hitting one pack at a time. MUCH easier to just go to the brewery and stock up, not have to watch for the trucks at TW.

 

Is this what it was like in the Orlando area? Limits? Truck chasing? Crazy.

 

Not sure about Orlando, but we got some in Lakeland and it most definitely was not a shelf turd.

 

Yeah, Total does a limit on everything but Bud Light. Even the shittiest Hopped on the High Seas was behind the counter and one-per. And it was gone within a day or maybe two of the trucks landing. (Forget mom and pops. Most of them got nothin' over here.)

 

Yeah sometimes it's stupid as hell. Between ABC, Crown, and Whole Foods now though I have a reasonably chance at finding the semi-special stuff like White Oak and Cubano Espresso.

 

Just got back from the brewery tour and was told it was 60 barrels in total and I'm sure some was kegged. Tour dude said they expect to have all of it sold by the weekend.

 

I was in line behind a guy who was buying the two remaining 5 Years and two six packs of Brew Bus cans. I overheard him talking about being from Chicago and investing in a brewery. I was like bro, you better put those cans back. White Oak. Take a case of the White Oak. And Tocobaga. Do not walk into a brewery, say you went to Cigar City, and offer your guys Are Wheat There Yet. You'll get locked in a brite tank. PS: Great weekend to leave Chicago, man. Nothing major going on in the craft beer world there. (He'll learn...)
