Rodenbach - Alexander (US Only release)

Had in on draft last week, along with Foederbier, Grand Cru, Vintage 2013 and Caractere Rouge. Have not come across it in bottle shops though.

 

I laugh at people who skip over the Rogue... Man that beer is so so so good.

 

Definitely, I prefer it over the Alexander actually.

 

Do we know if there are future bottle runs planned for the US market?

 

Any news on when this is officially hitting?

 

Latis responded to an email; they are working on securing second run for the US.

 

Second run? Where was the first?

 

I just had a glass in NYC tonight, but haven't seen any bottles yet.

 

These are pasteurized but you could expect to buy a couple, leave in a fridge/cellar, and they'd simply taste the same?

You wouldn't expect them to change/improve/degrade but they'd just stay the same for let's say, a few years?

 

I would expect the cherries to fall off

 

I'm still waiting patiently for this one. Grand Cru was my first sour beer and I was amazed at how good it was. If I'm lucky enough to spot this one then I will definitely be buying it up.

 

Had this on tap for the first time about 2 weeks ago. One of the best beers I have ever had.

 

I want this, where is it?

 

Kind of a funny way to research, but Untappd isn't showing any pics of people w/ bottles yet -- all seem to be draught pics. Guessing kegs have started to arrive, but bottles must be behind them.

 

Haven't seen any yet. Though I've been lucky to get their Foederbier at a couple growler-fill stations in the area.

 

The original is amazing. Was this batch produced differently?

 

This is now distributing in NC.

I'd be curious to know what the rough total US allocation was for this run if anyone has any idea.

 

Are you saying you just saw bottles of this or NC is gonna be getting Rodenbach distro in general. I just checked with one of my places and he said they can't even get their Grand Cru. Kind of ironic because they have tons of Grand Cru already at the store in addition to Vintage 2011 and Vintage 2012. By the way, hey bdswan. You did one of my first trades man. You've changed your avatar...nice to see you on here man.

 

Alexander bottles are now in NC (and NC has also received distro of the rest of the Rodentbach line for a while as well). Potent potables began selling Alexander this evening (in Jamestown, NC).

I remember, and I'm glad you're still at it! Let me know how that checklist is coming along.

 

Landing in Atlanta today. The hunt begins.
