“It’s like oak, oak, bourbon, oak, kind of oaky bourbon. 5 caps”

Those check-ins were from the media event yesterday afternoon where they premiered the Grit & Grain film series, not at the festival.

I just assumed the premiere was at the festival. I'm bad at beer.

Putting beer in commemorative boxes is the stupidest trend in beer ever.

It's like coffin for your intelligence since you spent $60+ on a 16.9 oz beer.



















I'll still buy it.

 

[gtx281]

**** it, it's only money.

Gimme dat oak juice.

 

[gameover170]

So hard.

 

[Jb123]

Such a great story. Still is the best barrel aged beer around. Especially considering how much of it is made. I can't wait to see the whole series of videos. This is the beer that made all other breweries step up their game, barrel aged beers or not.

13% Abv

Story time for #newmoney:

Prior to the InBev buyout (Spring/Summer 2011), all BCBS bottles were labeled as 13%. Why? Because it was close enough. GI didn't care how accurate they were with the number and figured blend to blend would end up about there. Because labels may need to be ordered well before a "final" measurement is taken (i.e., bottling time), it was easier to toss a simple, round number on the labels and not worry about it.

When InBev bought them, though, the kibosh was put on that. Weights and Measures and federal oversight is much more harsh for the big boys than the small ones. So suddenly, with the 2011 release and KH, GI had to start getting more specific with that number.

Source for this? John Hall at the KH release. He was walking around in the Clybourn Brewpub and talking to people. When he stopped by my buddy and mine's table, I asked about how the transition was going. He went into a spiel about how more bureaucratic the numbers needed to be.

So anything on a label prior to 2011 was ********. Did 2011 have a higher actual ABV than 2010? What about 2009 against this year's? The answer is: no one knows.

And I also call ******** to anyone who claims to tell the difference between this beer when labelled 13.8% and 14.4%. You're not a ******* hydrometer.

Yup

And that's just the brewery price. Get ready for $75 and up retail markups.

This is where everyone gets upset that you shared that.

How's it feel to be trolled by InBev guys?

Rare Day
A snifter, a bag, 3 bottles, tasting, ****** music, wander the barrel house

$220

 

[JulianB1]

"Rare Day" is the perfect name for the most newmoney of all newmoney beer events.

 

[JulianB1]

Rare Day
A snifter, a bag, 3 bottles, tasting, ****** music, wander the barrel house

$220

20 bucks more than Huna Day, which included 4 bottles (but not barrel aged so zomfg who cares?!), food, and a ridiculous lineup of all you can drink beer.

Yeah, no thanks.

 

[RedCoffee]

Whatever. If you guys want to potentially miss out on a once-in-a-generation beer like BCBS 2015 Rare (featured in the acclaimed documentary "Grit and Grain"), you can go right ahead.
