Kane Brewing (2023)

Welp, all tickets are sold out. Don't think they are allowing and walk-ups.

 

Yeah I was surprised it sold out, I hadn't gotten tickets yet so fingers crossed they release more ahead of the day

 

But you get an anniversary glass!!! [/HEAVY SARCASM]

 

They released some of the draft details:

Of the 20 beers we are going to tap, here’s a sneak peek… more to come:

From the Cellar:

• Amburana Barrel-Aged Wooden Cleat
  
  
• Barrel-Aged 365
  
  
• TENTH Anniversary Barrel-Aged Stout
  

 

Whew BA 365 would be cool to drink, but I think the Keller is what I would want to try the most. Love that style and Kane has been nailing their lagers recently.

 

Does anyone have any idea what lagers Kane has to go right now? They don't update their website as much as they used to.

 

Not sure when you are planning on heading there, I will likely stop in Fri or Sat to grab Citra Green Lines and I can let you know if you aren't planning on going until after that

 

I wish they kept their lists up to date on the website.

Via their fb, the anniversary ipa and HH anniversary are out today. I like the removeable sticker from the can (I know... all sticker labels are removeable). Im guessing the anniversary willi is the glass that will be given out at the event tomorrow?

 

I thought that label was cool as well. The Anny IPA and HH 12th both sound great

 

Didn't get a chance to make it down this weekend, who has tried all the releases?!

 

I've tried everything except 4383 so far.

Some thoughts from the event:
They did a great job at capping the crowd. There was plenty of room to move around. The token system worked well. The bands and food trucks were a big plus. Having kegs of ice water was a smart move as well.

As far as the beers, the Keller was my favorite/ most drinkable (I hope it makes its way into the tasting room). It was a treat to revisit the cellar beers: 365 is super mellow and tastes like cola, ten tastes like BA chocolate milk, Amburana Wood Cleat was one of my top 3 favorites. For the anniversary stouts, the coffee and the maple cinnamon were my favorites. As far as the ipas, 12th HH is killer. I liked it more than the Anniversary ipa. I'm hoping to revisit the anniversary in a few weeks.

Also, not sure if its true, someone told me that there is an issue w the anniversary quad and it may not get released? Hopefully some additional time helps it out.

 

Thanks for the feedback, hoping the keller makes it into the tap room too, i'd love to try. I think I have a bottle of Tenth left in my basement, maybe ill crack it this fall.

Excited for HH 12th and 12th Anny, going to shoot down today or tomorrow probably. Hoping that rumor on the Quad isn't true, if it is I wonder what the issue was because Kane's QC is generally pretty top notch. Also could potentially mess up their whole a little bit of every anny quad is in this beer thing. Thought it was odd they announced the stout and no quad, although generally those bottles drop in sept so fingers crossed for the quad in the fall.

 

Hmm I thought the tap room was open all week now, I will have to double check that. Either way I need to make it down this week to grab some of the new stuff!

 

Does Kane ever turn their tvs on? Any chance they're showing football today?

 

Any word on ANTEAD, that typically happens in autumn right? Think I skipped the last few but might give them a try this year.

 

I really miss their Barleywines. Been a minute since they've bottled a new one.

 

Agreed, absolutely world class. Hope they resume shipping to PA one day...
