Snozzberry Day - May 1st

What I don't understand is where did I say I had a problem with how things were done?

All I did was ATTEMPT to bring up a discussion that obviously has some differing viewpoints, and at no point did I say one negative thing about Green Man or how it was run. I was curious to hear other people's opinions. I am not sure how I am a liar by pointing out that YES, Green Men employees realized what big-purps from Ohio was doing, and were not happy about it. I was at my house by the time other people that went from front of the line to the back.

 

Bootsy and Maceo are both still in barrels. Bootsy will probably be the next release. I was told it was closer than Maceo.

 

semi related: Has anyone had the new Tokyo Gose (white miso/ginger) from Zebulon? I'm hoping to grab a bottle this week.

 

I think auto correct kicked in.. Should have been resemble, if your have a birthday in the 90s.

No harm though. It's gonna be common soon so no shame since no one cares to notice.

 

yes. it is great. so it batch 06 and 07 about to come out. mike makes amazing brews. he said he brewed snozz but didnt control the fermentation of it and he didnt fruit it. not sure how this years tastes compared to the the others because i havent had it.

 

I was able to grab a bottle yesterday. Can't wait to try it this weekend.

 

Holy Shit!!! If any of y'all watch big bang theory, tonights episode was awesome!! I won't spoil it, but the guys get together to wait in line for an event. Made me think of this thread and many more like it.

 

LOL, when Sheldon paid someone to stand in line for him I turned to my wife and commented that people apparently do that for some beer releases.

 

How's the beer???

Also, does Green Man have plans for getting a few more barrels with the new expansion? It seems like a tiny release despite Green Man already being a fairly large brewery prior to expansion and this beer having success for a few years. Assuming a 58 gallon (220 liters) oak barrel, on the smaller end, that's around 290 750's per barrel if 100% of a barrel makes it into bottles. Assuming loss from samples, unblendable beer, etc., maybe a dozen sixtel kegs packaged, looks like they are only yielding 5-6 barrels from the blend/final beer? Does this sound right?

Just a little curious what the production is like for this and future plans.

 

I too would be curious if Green Man expands their sour program....or will it disappear after whatever is in barrels is ready since the brewer in charge of the sours now has his own brewery?

 

I know that snozzberry has been brewed and in barrels for next years release. I don't think that plan on really expanding their sour program.
