DAMN IT! I'm from PA, and was at the brewery 2 months ago but they didnt have it. Arrgghhh! It sounds awesome!
 
I somehow awhile ago stumbled upon a beersmith file of a clone of it....I actually just thought it sounded like an awesome beer, didn't even know that it was a pizzaport beer.

Here it is if anyone wants it. :mug:

Wow!
That is a pretty hefty looking recipe.

With a name like that, it's got to be good. Surprised they didn't include a smigeon of LSD for old Sid Barrett
 
This one is good. Velvet Merkin is better. Saucerful of Merkin (a blend of the two) is incredible. Abacus is the best BA barleywine I've had in my opinion. Parabola is probably in my top 10 ever, as was Firestone 11.

their barrel aged everything is awesome.
 
Wow... just wow.

That's a huge bill! I'll have to keep my eye open for one somewhere...

Draft only, so look there. They don't make a lot of these beers at all. The anniversary beer will be out this year and it is always a blend of their barrel aged stuff and always great.
