    Been waiting for this to be announced. Looks like some solid brews.

    I always wonder what happens if certain numbers aren't hit. Does Clybourn just tap it for employees at a work party or something?

    also for any homebrewers lookin to make their own candy cane beer this year. I found out the way they make these candy candy stouts is they literally throw a couple candy canes in the keg the night before.

    Yup, as soon as I saw this on their Twitter, I scrolled all the way up, hoping to see CC Cthulhu. That shit was awesome. Cannot wait for this.

    Also, they really need to bottle this stuff.

    Every year the last beer released for the toy drive is a candy cane blah blah blah. There is no magic to it, they literally put a handful of candy canes into keg B and transfer beer from keg A on top of it. Candy canes will dissolve in a beer in a few hours.

    Well, the magic is that it's Cthulhu, and Cthulhu + candy canes = holiday cheer for all!

    How about we Homebrewers that bottle?
    Add the Canes a few days before bottling?

    (I noticed your comment further down so I think you've answered these questions already.)
