Crooked Stave coming to SoCal

For all your Crooked Stave thread needs: http://beeradvocate.com/community/threads/crooked-stave-launching-in-ca.104500/

 

Davis Bottle Shoppe in Davis came up with some. My cousin picked me up 2 each of the Surrette, Vieille and St. Bretta. 58$ out the door.

 

Crooked Stave Surrette, Vieille and St. Bretta available at Wally's Wine & Spirits, $8.99/each, limit 1 bottle per customer.

 

Love me some CS. I usually just bring it back with me when I do my monthly trip to CO. Can find it everywhere there. Now if Trinity (better sours and saisons than CS IMHO), Odell, Great Divide, Upslope and Renegade Brewing would come here I'd be a happy camper. Oh how I miss CO.

 

Its already being distributed to few stores. Vendome and Mr. K's got some.

 

CA (at least southern) gets Great Divide

 

Tried the three that made it to CA so far. Enjoyed both Surette Provision Saison and Vieille Artisanal Saison but the St. Bretta (summer) had a very strange "chemical-like" off flavor. Anyone else notice this, or did I get a bad bottle?

 

my bottle of st bretta didn't have off flavors but this batch was much worse than the spring batch in my opinion. hopefully they bounce back next time because the first one was great. give it another try when fall comes out.

this batch of surette was fucking great though.

 

Saw these hit Bine and Vine. They were gone the same day - didn't snag any

 

Best Damn Beer Shop sent out an email saying they got it in with a 1 bottle limit

 

Stearns Liqour got some in at one per

 

if it makes it to CA, the hop savant galaxy is really good (apparently just bottled in last few days); much better than original hop savant imo

 

Recently been drinking a bunch of St.Bretta, I had one bottle that had a very strange distinct metallic flavor. All the other bottles tasted good. 1 out of 14

 

Surette is the best non-HF saison I've ever had.

 

I've got some left in my store in Corona del Mar.

 

Unfortunately I'm 2390 miles away from CDM currently.

 

I just drove up to Costa Mesa!! That's what I get for not checking the board for one day.

 

Surette was outstanding. I need more of that in my life.
