Fou counts as a classic. Seeing as how that’s on the table, I could bring a 2013 Cascade Apricot if I attend, even though it probably wouldn’t have been the beer I was going to bring. It would be fun to compare the best American apricot sour to the Fou.
Fred’s contribution will be an ensorcelled + something from jester king. So if you’re gonna bring another rare barrel, just not the ensorcelled . I’ll also bring an extra from RB as well.
I haven’t had any of Alpine’s sours, so I suppose the possibility is out there …
That said, their apricot sour would have to be as good as their Nelson IPA to beat Cascade’s apricot. You know where I stand on Alpine, so it should come as no surprise to you to hear that I’m very skeptical that I would prefer their sour apricot over Cascade’s.
Theo here. Will bring 2 bottles - Jester King, maybe DeGarde, Highland Park Brewing, or Rare Barrel depending on what might be missing from the lineup and if I make it to SF next month.
speaking of Highland Park Brewing, i’ll be bringing some of their new releases, uncontrollable Saison and cherry spazz as extras for everyone to try. Never had them before, curious how they hold up
