Westbrook 2016 Releases

No GA. Distributor didn't send in their order in time. Only SC, AL and NY.

 

Ouch. So, Savannah dropped the ball on this? *sigh*

 

Lemon Coconut Weisse Weisse Baby bottled and released at the tasting room today.

 

My bottles are dated 2/4/16, so I presume that's the case.

 

Fruitful journey to SC. Cheers, geeks!

 

Quick question: Do they still have all the old BA cakes for onsite consumption? I might be down that way soon for work and was hoping to try some of them out. Cheers!

 

Yes - but they were quite pricey.

2014 BA cakes were $100 a piece.
2013 JD Cakes were $200...

 

These aren't 2012 vintage are they? Social Media post was confusing, but my guess is this is a new batch.

 

They're a new batch.

 

Add Can Can Cerise to the list, released today.

"Strong dark sour ale aged a total of four years in American oak red wine barrels. Tart cherries wee added to the barrels for the final year of aging. 100% bottle conditioned."

10%, 375ml, $12

 

This beer is killer, two years in a row a new to me beer from Westbrook was one of my favorites at Brewvival (Fisticuffs the previous year).

Based on the name and the timeframe of 4 years in barrels, I assumed it was the original Can Can batch, but I believe that was 12%+ ABV so maybe its not the same base beer. Anyone know?

 

Tiny Tornado released at the brewery today:

From their Facebook page:


"Tiny Tornado is a double IPA hopped with Galaxy, Columbus, Amarillo, and Chinook. Bottles are available at the brewery today and the first batch will be hitting distro in SC and AL early next week. The 2nd batch will go out to GA, NY, NC when it's ready..."

 

I just looked on WB's page to see if the 'Tiny Tornado' replaces Shane's Big DIPA and it does for this year. Lots of new surprises, as well. Key Lime Pie Weisse Weisse Baby makes an appearance in June and Mexican Biscotti Cake in November! I'm also glad to see that they gave up on their Marzen/Octoberfest beer, too.

Looks like Citrus Ninja DIPA will be replaced in August too. I won't miss Shane's but I liked Citrus Ninja.

 

I love that beer too. I will be happy when gose gets back on the shelfs.

 

Gose made an early return this year (early Feb.) and has been around for weeks in Charleston already. You should see them soon.

 

Yeah Gose has been here for probably 2 weeks or so, I was surprised to see it so early.

 

Anybody else around the Charleston area know of where I might still be able to find some Black Magic Panther? I was gone around the time it was released and have had a hard time finding it since.
