Wicked Weed/Creature Comforts Collaboration

Looks like the Total Wine stores around Charlotte have it now. They don't mention limits.

 

Oh boy, get it while you can. Folks at the Funkatorium told me the other day that they don't expect to get any more bottles for sale there... was on tap though. I really like this beer and hope it makes in into regular rotation.

 

Yeah what's up with these 1 pp limits everywhere? Everyone has it on draft in Raleigh, but is out of bottles for the most part.

 

There seems to be a very small amount of bottles released into the market. The bottles were allocated but kegs were not but were only allowed to buy one sixtel per location.

 

I didn't even think that WW did sixtels. Thought, in terms of kegs, they operated in the pony or 1/2 barrel arena. Regardless, I have yet to try Juiceless but hope to tonight. To the extent I do, I sure hope some of that CC Tropicalia magic, to some degree, made its way into this IPA.

 

Two places I went said they only got a single case, and of course if you dont limit people there will be the guy who buys the whole case. I've seen it in person.

 

They do sixtels almost exclusively, but in larger formats the kegs we're seeing are 50L, not 1/2bbls like most US breweries.

 

I think the 50L seems to be mainly for their core beers. I could be wrong though. I have got everything from sours to Ba stouts and all have been in sixtels.

 

I think because so many people bought it during the release of White Angel? I'm not sure though. Wicked Weed social media accounts made it seem as if there would be plenty to go around.

 

I couldn't make it to White Angel until Sunday and the girl at the bottle shop told me they thought it was going to last for weeks at the brewery and everyone was surprised that it sold out so quickly. Some of the employees didn't even get bottles.

 

Yeah I mean it's not that big of a deal, but they've proved a good luck charm in my fantasy drafts so far, so I keep having to run around town to different places to score another one!

 

I bought 3 bottles immediately after I got my White Angel and that was right when they opened. At the time, it seemed like there was plenty. I left right after, but I can only imagine people buying cases or multiple cases.

 

My thoughts exactly.

 

The next IPA release from WW is a beer between napolean and pernicous. It will be around 6.2-6.5abv. Cant wait! Love Juiceless!

 

Got a chance to try Juiceless on draft Friday night and was quite impressed with it. Man did that stuff sell like hotcakes. Amazing what brewers can do with hops these daze.
