From Kern River Brewing:
What time is it? Citra Time! If you are a fan of "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" then you are probably laughing right now... If not, you are probably just excited that Citra is coming. Before we get to the details of the release, we need to clear up a few items.
KRBC will be closed Jan 21-24 (Monday-Thursday) for building maintenance. Our wonderful, 50 year old wood floors from the Johnsondale lumber mill need to get touched up every year, and we picked next week to do it. We also have a tile project in the kitchen - which, unless you are a dishwasher here, is of no interest to you. If you are really excited about tile work, we are accepting applications for dishwashers at this time.
If you didn't already know, we have Dirty Hippie and Winter Ale and Rye IPA on tap right now - talk about a hop-lover's dream. The only thing that would make it hoppier would be...
Citra - which will be released Friday through Sunday, February 1-3. We will be releasing 35 cases per day with a 6 bottle per person limit. It will also be on draft, but there will be no growler fills since we tend to go through the entire batch in about a day and a half. The bottles will be handled in the normal fashion; first-come first-server. If there is a line outside the door before we open at 11:30 (and there probably will be) we will hand out tickets to those in line. Once you have your ticket, you are guaranteed your 6 bottles, so you can sit down and eat and enjoy yourself. See the FAQ questions below for any more info.
Q: How early do I have to get there to make sure I get some bottles?
A: While there are no guarantees, in the past people that have been here an hour or more before opening usually get their bottles. Saturday seems to be the busiest day and Sunday seems to be the least busiest day. Having said that, every release is different
Q: Will you be showing the "Big Game"?
A: Considering that Eric is a Falcons fan and Kyle is a 49'ers fan, yes we will be showing the game. Anyone routing for New England/Baltimore will be removed from the premises.
Q: I can't get there until later. Can you save me some bottles?
A: Um. No.
Q: Why don't you brew Citra more often?
A: Because we can't. If you give us $1,000,000 we will brew it all year round and you can bathe in it.
Q: What if it is snowing or raining? What will happen to the people waiting in line
A: They will get cold or wet.
Q: Why are you such a wise-guy
A: Born that way. Couldn't be helped. If you have read Sacre Bleu, you are probably laughing right now.
