Kane Brewing (June 2016)

Anyone who was there yesterday - were there still cans of Head High? My golf outing fell through. If I'm gonna go hunting for that glass I want the 1 hr 15 min each way trip to be worth it!

 

There were still some in the one fridge at 7 PM, but it didn't look like there was much left, to be honest. I don't know if they had more in the back "big fridge".

 

That was supposed to be a joke, it was obviously October (as per facebook). Weather was shitty, thought it was a bit closer to winter.

 

I remember going that day with 10 other people because the weather was so shitty. The list was incredible. So overwhelming.

 

Me too. That list was unreal.

 

While we’re reminiscing…that day should remind everyone just how well Kane handles event(s). Granted the pours were samples, but the lines were extremely efficient. Other big name players use a lottery system, limit it to a retail shop, or utilize multiple pubs to host their anniversary. Kane seemed to have a mindset of “leave no man behind.” Of Course, every year presents new hurtles, and inflated hype. So, maybe lottery is in the near future

 

Finally got to Porta Pizza in Asbury. Amazing, and head high on tap. Then hit the brewery after and got a few growlers of eureka (yet to try) and a sixtel of overhead. You all can keep your citra hop lab. If they made just the two, head high and overhead, I'm set for life.

 

I had HL Citra once before and wasn't overly fussed by it. Figured maybe it was an off day for my palette so I grabbed a growler of it yesterday. Nope.

Good beer, not even close to Head High for me.

 

I dig both of them, but I really love Ripple even more.

 

Little off topic but finally got to visit Kane for the first time today and was very impressed.I have been buying from them for our bar from the very start .They are well organized,friendly staff,very clean and they brew amazing beer.Thanks again to Glenn and Mike for making me feel so welcome.Oh and had the Eureka,very well done,naturally!

Had Eureka for the first time last night, was not what I was expecting at all but really enjoyed it.

Can someone with more knowledge than me explain the unique color?

 

Morning Bell, ageless beauty.

 

Your eyes say cider, but your mouth disagrees.

 

Head high cans are back!

 

How long should we expect the HH cans to last?

 

Forever

 

The fridge by the taps was chock full still and they were bringing out more when I left at 7 PM last night.

 

This is just a guess but I bet they can weekly soon but they are just trying to figure out the quantities right now. I think in the near future there will always be cans available.
