Kane Brewing (September/October 2018)

the real question is which year version of antead won.

 

also imperial sneakbox is fuckin delicious as usual

 

Robbed!

 

Any idea why I I cannot find the growler pour list on Facebook?

 

It’s on the website now.

 

Thanks

 

Yea the new website is beautiful. I wish more breweries did this as opposed to Facebook. I guess you need the resources for it though nice that kane did this.

 

The DDH HHs and SBs are generally real limited runs, as per Glenn and other workers there.

I talked to one of the works on Saturday and he said with the new centrifuge they have been getting bigger runs and this one was over 200+ cases!

 

For those who thought Galaxy Punch was too guava forward, the fruit flavor has mellowed a lot and is now very well integrated into the beer.

 

Weird that I've heard so little buzz about the anny releases. Anyone try a 2192 recently?

 

Had it at the 7th anny weekend release of Black Tie Optional, its tasting better than Fifth now IMO, Fifth was better fresh. Get less of the Red Wine barrel now than last year but still really good

 

So close to antead I’m sure has something to do with it. I can’t bring myself to buy many expensive bottles these days. So that combined with the pickup time commitment in almost consecutive weeks probably has something to do with it I would guess. If i had more time I’d gladly make the trip again but sadly I won’t be.

 

How many 2192 were there? Seems like not many people got their hands on it, let alone tasted it.

 

It came with each set of the anny quad, but you could only buy 1 set per person. It was 4 Quad, 1 2192. There were a lot of sets left over selling behind the bar afterwards but you had to buy the entire thing.

 

So if anyone knows how many anny sets there were last year, we'd have a good indicator of have many 2192 bottles...?

 

don't think Kane ever releases #'s

 

@glennl might give you a roundabout number if he has any insight.

Generally in the past the anniversary quad has been a 4 to 6 bottle limit per person, they generally produce a lot of it (4kish i think for 1825 and 1460 from what I remember being posted) . Any "special" bottle that is also available that day tends to be at a significantly lower amount. Last year for every 4 Quads you got 1 2192 Blend. For 1825 you were allowed 6 Quads (which remained on sale behind the bar for a bit) and 2 Fifth Bottles (which sold out by around 2pm-ish if memory serves correct) prior to Fifth the "special" bottles were re-barreled versions of previous Anny Quads. If memory serves correct they said there were 200 bottles of Fifth (so 100 people bought it if full allotments for all). I believe Cognac 1095 (released during the 4th Anny) was stated to be a 200 bottle run as well, and I'd assume the same or less for BA 730 and BA 365 released during the 3rd Anny. 3rd anny was the first time they started an additional "special" bottle to go with the normal anniversary quad. Since Fifth its been a blend of BA Stouts and Porters. Fifth (Blend of Select Vintages of Barrel Aged and Non-Barrel Aged Stouts and Porters), 2192 (Blend of Imperial Stouts and Porters that have been individually aged in Cognac, Red Wine, Bourbon, & Rye Barrels) & now 2557 (Blend of Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stouts & Porters)... End my beer nerdism

 

well said..

i am still in search of the elusive Cognac 1095 in the wild

 

I saw it mentioned yesterday in the Trade Value Thread for what it's worth (sounds like the poster has it and was looking for value but it's not 100% clear).

 

Any idea what it goes for?
