Tioga-Sequoia Brewing News

Well...someone was a lil sauced last night and was being a dick. My apologies...to clarify...

It doesnt matter what style someone drinks. It just gets frustrating because IPA people are generally frowned upon for chasing the newest release, being "fad" drinkers etc. I use the term "hipster" because it isnt an IPA release that creates lines around the corner at TS. Its all these other styles. So while we are portrayed as fad drinkers, it is actually the fans of other styles perpetuating what we get blamed for.

And then the brewer wont even be developing their hoppy offerings, but the more hyped styles that create lines.


Im just mad cause I'll never drink a tdh nelson again and that makes me want to curl into a fetal position and cry

 

Has Tioga Sequioa had any known infection issues?
A Sugar Pine Cocoa-Vanilla Porter I had a while back was bad, it foamed up a lot, and the beer continued to foam up while still in the bottle. It tasted off as well.
It was disappointing. I was looking forward to a beer with vanilla and no coffee.

 

@nsheehan Unfiltered and unpasteurized beers have odds of re-fermenting in a bottle over time and conditions (Heat, Light etc). We get complaints about Half Dome from time to time being over carbonated. Although I can't say that was the issue with your bottle, tiogasequoia does have a policy of always making things right. email them. They will try and make it right.

@IpaBeerDrinkers A string of TDH's are coming including some new ones (Galaxy, El Dorado, and Eureka). Simcoe will return for sure and Nelson if the quantity of hops needed become available. I even see batches of hop specific XPAs coming as well. Production has been tight over the last three months and bigger batch specialties took a back seat while making arrangements for growth.

 

That sounds great! The latest batch of XPA has been great!

 

@catbirdofdoom glad to hear. You pretty much nailed my thoughts exactly on everything. This batch of TDH Citra being my favorite batch and the Chard Catacomb also being my favorite "Catacomb Brew". A sign of things to come for sure.

We are doing more work with kettle souring , and playing with more styles like Berliners, and Farmhouse/Saisons on the pilot level. However, I don't see us experimenting with wild yeast and fruit during fermentation until we acquire a separate cool storage space to age and package.

 

"Wednesday: New Beers: Bourbon Bacon Maple Autumnus, Half Dome 2.0, and Roast Gose (Gose with Ghost Peppers). All available for growler fills. (Note: BBMA is not barrel aged, but bacon soaked in bourbon then toasted).

Friday: Autumn Rush and BAMM on tap, bottles of BAMM, BAVML, Autumn Rush, and Mocha Midnight to go (Limit 1 per on BAs)

Saturday: If you have been holding out on TS apparel purchases, Saturday would be the time to go. packaged deals and 10% off all apparel."

 

From the Rush Day event page on Facebook.


We are pleased to announce the Third Annual "Rush Day" at the Tioga Sequoia Beer Garden (745 Fulton, Fresno, CA 93721) on December 17th, 2016 from 11am until 11pm.

Rush Day has more than surpassed our expectations the past two years and has become an event that beer geeks of the central valley have grown to embrace and cherish. For those who have not been, Rush Day is the day Tioga-Sequoia Brewing Co celebrates artisan coffee and coffee infused beers. The headliner of the day is the release of Rush Hour Breakfast Stout our chocolate milk stout infused with locally roasted coffee. This year we have partnered with three different local roasters to put on a Rush experience unlike any in the past. We will feature Lanna Coffee Co(Downtown Fresno), Slow Train Coffee Roaster (Visalia, CA), and Valparaiso Cafe & Roastery (Downtown Fresno). All the local roasters will be on site day of selling their coffee beans used in each batch of Rush Hour as well as offering samples of the coffee.

Each variant of Rush Hour will be bottled for to go purchases as well as be served on draft and growlers to go. The goal is to have the public vote on Rush Day for their favorite coffee variant of Rush Hour and the winning beer/roaster will be produced for 2017. Mass distributed Rush Hour blends will be made throughout the year spanning all over the valley in bars/restaurants and in supermarkets/bottle shops from Bakersfield to Stockton.

Rush Hour may be the beer that started it all, but Rush Day has quickly become a special day for many of our coffee infused beers. This year we will also be releasing the third iteration of our barrel project series called Cake Rush - Coconut Imperial Breakfast Stout on tap and in bottles. This beer is a whiskey barrel aged blend of beers infused with coffee, vanilla beans, and freshly toasted coconut. About 2300 bottles will be produced in total. We will also be releasing a very special/limited beer called All the Mornings - Maple Breakfast Stout. This beer is a collaboration imperial milk stout using a blend of the 3 local roaster's coffee, Indonesian Cacao Nibs roasted by local chocolatier Molucca Chocolate, and pure New England Maple Syrup. Hints of Cinnamon as well as Madagascar Vanilla Beans will be added to the infusion. Pretty much everything you'd want in a breakfast stout harmoniously combined into one beer.

Our friends from Taste Kitchen and Pita Kabob & Grill will be joining us for the food portion of our event starting at 11am. Taste Kitchen will be making a coffee infusion signature dish that you will not want to miss out on. More details to come on the food menu

We also plan to have some dessert friends joining us this year. The first is Dana's Cookies with her wonderfully delicious beer infused cookies. The second will be Rubia's Churro Parties who will be working on a coffee infused dip to go with her churros.

More details to come as soon as we have them including bottle yields, limits, prices, etc.

 

Gorgeous

 

Earlier this year I was introduced to TS and my god they make some awesome beers. Since then I've been hunting and trading for as much of their stuff as possible. Mocha Midnight is amazing, and so is Rush Hour. I wish there was a way I could get it to LA and actually have my money go to them, rather than trading a bottle for it. A friend of mine had a brother who planned to go to school up there this fall, then decided to go to Colorado. Sadly, my dream pipeline never came to be. Especially since he's not a beer guy, I could have had his 1pp bottles. Anyway, Keep up the good work fellas. Hope to make it up there one day.

 

The AtM pilot batch they did last year was the best beer they ever did so I am looking forward to this release.

 

All the mornings and Cake rush were incredible. Two best beers they've ever made. I voted for the circle.

The only thing TS can discourage the bottle sharing outside of their fences would be simply to not issue wristbands or admission to those who are drunk. Not sure they can really control a public street. Ironically the lady with the poster on the TS Instagram page was shitfaced, and that was about 45min prior to opening. 10:15 am ish.

 

I saw that too, we were just outside the fence right next to their table. Sad waste of good beer.

With family dinners, travel, church, ect. Is Christmas eve really the best time to release a new beer?

 

Really looking forward to this!
