Kane Brewing (September 2016)

Can't wait!

 

Heirloom flying off the shelves according to Facebook. Neither look to last beyond this weekend unfortunately. Maybe some Thurs leftovers at most.

 

Drank my Heirloom already. Nice Brett Belgian beer. Like everything Kane ideas, this was very tasty. I happened to luck out as I was on my down to Carton to get EgoIPA (drinking the first one now) and decided to then drive over and get one of each bottle. I'll bet the Quad lasts til Thursday.

 

had heirloom and loved it at last years anniversary. excited to try the bottle version.

 

Heirloom is gone. And it's not even that busy here. Bottle count mustve been crazy small.

 

It seems like a different version. Different ABV and barrel aged.

 

sounds good to me

 

400 apparently.

 

Wow, it was one per customer. I'm amazed 400 people showed up because the brewery was not busy at all.

 

Says something about the Kane brand they can release a wine barrel Belgian Golden with Brett and Nelson dry hop for $15 at a 16.9 format and sell out in five hours.

 

We all know that Kane is the shit. I never think twice about spending money on something from them I haven't had yet (even though I did not bother with the $5.50 small bottles of variant Head High, etc., I'm sure they were tasty).

 

I'm surprised but I'm not that Heirloom sold out. That's fantastic.

 

These were not 750ml?

 

The quad was, but the Belgian Brett was not.

 

Anyone have an update on if Quarter Swan is left? Planning on swinging by around open since I'm in Red Bank for my sons hockey game.

 

Anniversary party next Saturday!

 

I'm not sure how they were released, but there are BBA versions of both 365 and 730. Not telling Kane how to run their business, but I suspect if they do a 200 bottle release first come first serve like they did with Cognac 1095, they can expect a line at midnight. How about a random Thursday release?

 

How long was the line to get in last year at opening for the anniversary party?

I just wanna fill up the usuals in a growler and be on my way, so hopefully the lines for growlers and tastings are separated as usual. If I have to wait an hour to get in I can't imagine it would be worth it.

 

If you want to fill growlers of regular stuff I would suggest later in the day. Lines were long for growlers as they had some variants (Galaxy Head High maybe?) No reason to show up at the open if you just want Head High. There was a line that wrapped around the building for bottles (that didn't sell out for probably a month) an then those people all came inside as they got their bottles. Very crowded for the first 2 hours or so, regardless of being very well run.

 

I was there last year. Don't remember waiting on line to get in. There were lines for growlers and pours at various stations but they all moved quickly.
