    I know these brews are limited release. When are they usually available during the year? I'm in Florida and my mouth is watering thinking about tasting them based on reviews. Cheers from the Gulf Coast!

    Citra is only brewed about 2-3 times a year. Looks like the next batch will be released in November.

    Trying to pin down a beer release date from Alpine is a bit like [insert clever simile about something being next to impossible].

    There are people that go to Alpine 3 times a week that have no clue when Pat is going to release something.

    the problem with both beers you're looking for is they're available only at the breweries themselves (unless if Pat is in a good mood and releases a couple bottles of Expo to distro). What makes things even more complicated is KRBC and Alpine and several hours apart.

    At least at Alpine you have a shot at one of their other special releases like Bad Boy, Keene Idea, or Hoppy Birthday. But the regular releases are excellent at both.

    I still think they should collaborate. Exponential Citraness.

    You'll never be happy if you keep on chasing these 9's braw.

    Settle with a 6 and you'll be happy for the rest of your life.

    5 bottles. Not a 5 bottle limit, only 5 bottles made.

    Only for the people who own that bookstore in between the Pub and the Brewery that's never open.

    It's actually a salon/barber shop now.
