Noble Ale Works (2018)

$17 per 4-pack?

Yeah, I think I might.

 

<7% ABV with a solid hop profile that isn't over the top, I'm in. I'm sick of these TIPAs and even doubles to an extent.

I haven't been burned by Noble yet, this one looks great!

 

What is the skinny on Noble in terms of can releases (i.e. how often are cans available) and taproom with crowler or growler availability? I’m coming out there at the end of March and they’re on my list of places to check out.

 

Unless it's a shower series you won't find any hazy or special release cans in the tap room. They do have a pretty good lager (I think?) available at most bottle shops called fun light. Fills for crowlers and growlers are available online usually although they don't update daily, usually every 3 or so days. Check their instagram for new releases.

Great spot to check out and always a favorite of mine. Grab a flight and definitely check out naughty sauce.

 

I have preferred their non hazy ipa’s and those are usually available for growlers/crowler fills. The hazy stuff is canned and sold online. Follow their Instagram for the latest releases.

 

Agreed, I would love to see Noble re-create the OG Showers series as well as the OG Tongue Tickles. Sadly what they brew now does not come close to the original recipes. I've tried, but it's not even close. God, remember when Tongue Tickles was at it's height ? That beer was insane, the definition of DANK !

Cheers,

 

I have been following them on IG for the past week and saw the post today about sales online. I’ll for sure be on the lookout for anything that may pop while I’m visiting.

Just to clarify, are you saying that all crowlers/growlers of any of their beers are only available online, or is that for their more limited/hazy stuff only?

 

Go on their website and it shows you what’s on tap and what’s available for fills as well as the price for the fill.

 

For the most part yes, Evan was instrumental in turning Noble into what it is now, before Evan it was struggling, he helped create or solely created the OG Tongue Tickles and the Shower Series, the original Citra and Nelson Showers were simply amazing beers and Tongue Tickles was their first Gold Medal winner. Miss them all so much. And to keep on you for your diction because you used a double negative, it should be " is that because Evan is no longer there "........ chin up kid.

Cheers,

 

Thanks. The snow storm here has me thinking a bit slower. I’ll be sure to check IG and their website for what is going on.

 

Naughty Sauce

 

If you do purchase online make sure your able to pick up within the time frame. It's usually 7-10 days after sales.

 

I'm down to get in on this release but how far is the drive from Inglewood/LAX area to Anaheim? I rarely ever go to the OC

 

Piece of cake. I make the drive everyday to HB. If you really want it, make the effort. Otherwise you got ESBC and Three Weavers nearby. Smog and Monks south of LAX. Hell I flew to Brussels just for Cantillon bottles.

 

Yeah.. I hit all the LAX area breweries including Monks. I've stood in a line or two or three for their haze. I just get frustrated at Three Weavers. They've been making the same IPA for like two years now but with a different name.

 

I <3 it (DDH I love it!) is probably the best beer they've made besides the OG Shower Series.

 

Noble 7th Anniversary tickets went live today. I haven't purchased yet but likely will attend, curious to hear feedback from folks that attended the previous anniversary parties. $50 seems like a good price point for unlimited pours

Last year was well run - I got in easily and only waited for the HPB/Noble stout line. There were sections of the party that had themes (hazy, hoppy, naughty sauce variants, etc.) so you knew what to expect at the various tents. Plenty of food, water stations, portables, and I didn't notice much douchebaggery. Music, games as well. I feel like there was a ton of constructive feedback the year prior re: lines and it seemed like Noble listened
