Noble's "Showers"

That would be too good to be true on Tongue Tickles. You'd think word would get out ahead of time. I'm thinking dude misspoke.

 

Looks like the Messenger's back on tap:



Wish I could get down there -- missed the first round of this, too. But figured I'd share for those who were a bit closer to the brewery and could stop over.

 

"No Tongue Tickles on tap since the beginning of the year" - Noble Employee

 

bummer man.

 

Getting much more of an orange zest on the back end of this TBA Showers. After initial sips I must say I dug the Amarillo and Simcoe.

 

Heads up El Dorado Showers drops this Wednesday.

 

Seems like FOREVER since the last one, no?

 

Last one was Rakau Showers and that was a month ago.

 

It was still on tap onWednesday, still tasting delecious

 

So has the "Shower" series fizzled out? The latest release, Chinook was snuck in the tasting room with no warning or heads up on on social media. Haven't seen any post on here unless I'm missed something. I was in the tasting room Sat evening and had a taste of Chinook while enjoying pours of Tongue. The tongue def was the better of the 2. And from the small taste I had of the Chinook I would say its my least favorite of the shower series. But maybe because I had it after a bottle of Duet and a pour of Tongue before I tried it. So I bought one bottle to try later at home.

 

You answered your own question. Tongue Tickles was the spotlight and justifiably so in terms of the release.

It may not be so much of the series fizzled out, but if it wasn't that great, they may just be trying to move it out without too much attention as to not hurt the showers brand.

 

NobleAle just twitted or twatted that Chinook Showers is now available at thei tasting room. Funny.

 

They posted on instagram that day that they were bottling it and would have it for sale at 4pm. The tweet from earlier was just the automatic taphunter tweets that are usually a few days behind.

 

Well, I guess I'm not getting any

 

Hmm. Not sure if it's worth $20 for a limit one.

 

That label is so ugly.

 

Also it's a 375.

 

Haha, that is insane. Beyond even Lost Abbey pricing. They should have held on to this one for on site consumption or festivals or something.
