    Having been there for the Wild Peach release, I'm surprised that it took so long to sell out on GToM Saturday. My brother is over there & I told him to get there about 7am & share bottles to ensure that he gets some

    I heard they allotted as many bottles today as they did for Thursday and Friday combined.

    Can a 3 day release go any smoother than that, not to mention Wild Barrel is my new favorite beer from Dan's creative mind. Can't wait to try an NG milk stout, keep the new ideas coming but please bring back Wild Sour Ale...1 lonely bottle left in the cellar.

    Very smooth release, but pretty disappointed to see people popping corks in the beer garden and not bothering to pick them up.

    Didn't see any of that but I have no doubt about it. The Carey's are being nice and allowing bottle sharing, don't screw it up people and clean up after yourself!

    We picked up anything we saw at the tables we were drinking at. If the dudes who brought the Casey Brewing and Tree House beers see this, thank you, you were awesome!

    How is it that NG can handle releases like this so smoothly but so many breweries struggle?

    Went on the Hard Hat tour Friday. Second the persons statement on a Milk Stout, they actually were brewing it again on the pilot system last week they said. Also second the golden ale as an R&D. The Wild Fruit Cave had Apple Ale, Enigma, Unhopped Ale and Vintage 2015 in the Brite tanks. They also confirmed 1-2 years is the plan for canning. Confirmed. Moon man and spotted cow for sure.

    If true that would certainly explain it & also show why Dan & Deb are far ahead of anyone when it comes to bottle releases

    This weekend could not have gone more smoothly. Workers in parking lot directing traffic (aka watching for people switching clothes), quick ID check and paying. Everything was easy. By far best bottle release there is in midwest.

    Unfortunately, I witnessed this as well. My wife, daughter and I were seated over by the "headless" two women lager display and saw an individual shoot a cork just passed us with no intention of picking it up. I really don't understand why people have to be so inconsiderate. Thankfully this was the minority, as the overwhelming majority was super cool!

    Another amazing release by New Glarus. We arrived at 8:15 and parked in Dan & Deb's front yard. Grabbed our bottles, had some beers/pizza and we were on the road by 11:30.

    I agree with previous comments, between NG and CW, we're becoming quite spoiled with superbly run releases.

    What a fantastic release. First time up to NG, it's a beautiful facility. Love that whole tasting area. Also thanks to all the wonderful sharers, including the folks with the Casey and Treehouse stuff, the folks with De Garde, and the awesome pour of Mexican Coffee Cake!

    Yup and it's incredible! Jammy and gets a nice bourbon character as it warms. [​IMG]
