Kane Brewing (September/October 2018)

Picked up bottles around 1030, showed phone and id. Got last two of galaxy punch and some indicator. Line moved decently quick. Nice day out.

 

Just picked up now. Line was short but really slow.

 

Pick up lines are so slow (out of the two I’ve done). I love kane but would it be too much to just even split the alphabet in two. Takes zero extra work and considering the extra workers that were just mingling around they have the people for it.

 

Line to pickup bottles at 1pm was short but a bit slow. The taproom was mobbed though.

 

Maybe the reason for how long it took was due to many people not being ready when they got to the front of the line? I saw a few who took a few minutes to find their ticket. You would think they would have this ready.

 

We have a lot of beer to get out before the end of the year. I'd expect more multiple release weekends. There just aren't enough weeks left to spread everything out.

 

That excites me! Drinking Black Tie right now and it’s tasting amazing

 

I get it. Just thinking out loud. I can only drive down there so many times! The fridge still has some Galaxy Punch, Coastal Plain, Sneak Box and of course Head High from my Wegmans.

 

Does anybody's antead label have 2017 on it? Both of mine that I picked up today had 2017 and 12.4% alcohol on the label. I don't mind if it's from last year's release. Was just curious if they maybe reused the labels from last year.

 

All of the label for this release say 2017

 

It was brewed last year and sat in barrels for a year.

 

Tap list took a hit today—vanilla MB and blue hotel were kicked when I got there around 5:00 pm. Galaxy punch still on for fills and pours, and Indicators cans still available when I left.

 

Think of the year on the label as it's vintage, not its release year. They're all labeled 2017...

 

I love Black Tie Optional. A lot...

 

Indicators is head highs juiced up bigger brother. Really delicious beer, kane can brew juicy beers that are so clean and it’s aweome. Cheers and thank you.

 

Really enjoyed my short amount of time today, got bottles while my friend went and got cans so that worked out then got the last few pours of vanilla mb. Really enjoyed Black Tie and Blue Hotel on tap. The stop at referend on the way back was great too. Bummed we didn't make it to yale terrace.

 

I fucking love ANTEAD beers. Seriously.

That said, I find it super odd you label a beer released in 2018 as 2017...no one else does that, at least with stouts, that I can think of.

Cantillon is the only one I can think of that differentiates between bottling, release and so on, but they make it a little clearer. Most breweries just add a description if they want to differentiate between brew date and release date.

 

So you are saying Kane is the only one that does it right? OK. I'm with you.

 

Dranks

 

Reliance on naming convention is noble yet the significance lies within the depth and understanding of ANTEAD/base
