Kane Brewing (April 2016)

Now that morning and the BA version release has come and gone, does anyone know what the next anticipated bottle released might be? Sunday brunch wasn't released till fall last year I think so I'm curious what they might have in store for spring/summer.

 

I wish Mexican Brunch would strictly stay on for fills & pour’s, but I have a feeling will be seeing bottles based on the way things have been going with the new bottling line. In any case, here's a synopses from last year:

• May: Mexican Brunch – No bottles last year, but I foresee a change
  
• May: Sea Change
  
• June: Nom de Plume, Cortijo and Apiary Mead
• ++ Cans might be making an appearance @ some point

Of course these dates mean nothing for 2016, and we may not see any of these. But, perhaps, a whole new line up of tasty bottles

 

tee hee

That would be Today
Sacre Coeur
Just announced

 

It's a Quad. Four per individual.

 

Have to think this lingers, not because of it's potential quality but just that Quads don't tend to fly off the shelves like the BA stuff, stouts, porters, or IPAs.

 

Agreed it shouldn't be a madhouse.
I'm sending my sister who lives nearby. I'm going to have her pick up some more Vengeful Heart. Really like that one

 

I'm guessing this is the big Belgian that just filled up those rye barrels. Definitely looking forward to that.

 

Was there around 2pm. No line at all.

 

Holy crap, chocolate morning bell sounds great

 

Does anyone know if there is a difference between Hop Lab: Wheat IPA and Hop Lab: Simcoe Wheat IPA?
I got a growler of the simcoe wheat at my local buyrite a few months ago and loved it

 

I don't think so

 

I feel like they released this hop lab series so nonchalantly that nobody takes notice. To compare to carton and their odub variances are clearly cut labeled and released. One more thing is that Vengeful Heart is damn good and yet they still have bottles for over a month. AOE gone in 1.2 days. Not comparing beers just marketing tactics.

 

Hop Lab Azzacca was tragically overlooked. I thought that was better initially than Citra. I had Citra again recently and I swear it must have been tweaked in a good way because it was fantastic. Better than I remembered from the first round I had.

 

AOE was a collaboration with Other Half so you obviously have a much larger pool of potential customers.

 

Vengeful Heart is amazing but as someone pointed out it's a Barleywine, which is not as popular as barrel aged stuff and IPAs. I bought two bottles.

 

If it's not an imperial stout/porter or an IPA, it'll linger... which is great news for people who love barleywines and quads.

 

Sacre is a cherry and plum heavy perfect combination. I'll be picking up a couple of bottles next weekend. Kane is at the point where they can release a spot on version of a classic Belgian style and it makes zero waves. When you're the best, entropy amongst the people can set in once spoiled.

 

Glad to hear - I like quads and will pick up a couple.
