Happy Tampa Bay Beer Week! The 2nd bottle in the 3rd Edition of El Catador Club is here: Good Gourd Almighty Bourbon Barrel-aged Imperial Pumpkin Ale.

Members of the 1st Edition of El Catador Club will remember we released a rum barrel-aged version of this beer for club members.

This high-gravity gob of gourd-y goodness incorporates pumpkin in the mashing process and then gets wicked with the spices including Ceylon cinnamon, Jamaican all spice, Zanzibar cloves and nutmeg.

Please note that your bottle will not be officially ready for pick-up until you receive an automated email stating that the bottle is ready. These emails should all be sent out today.

I believe they did say this round would move alarmingly fast. So, it could be over in a couple months.

Yeah, i've been told this several times, that we would be shocked at how fast Round 3 went.

Any ideas what the other bottles are? There weren't any hints this time like the previous rounds. I always enjoy all the beers, but I am hoping for a Zhukov or Huna variant this round.

You and everyone else in the membership. I hope they release a white stout just to **** with people.

Or a BA IPA

Ok? I just said I was hoping for one, it won't be the end of the world if it doesn't happen. The beers are always good.

Given the fact CCB has said this round will move fast that would mean club beers are in bottles are or getting close to be bottled. So I think details on the remaining bottles will be coming out very soon. Just rumors, but I hear one that said no stouts this round and another rumor that said one of the Round 3 releases would be a wine barrel aged cranberry grove I think. I think Opal, a bourbon BA strong ale might be one of the bottles and another Round 3 would be a bourbon BA winter warmer. Just rumors so take that for what it is.

Or a BA IPA

BA 110k+OT batch 8

"There was no way we could have possibly made this beer any shittier than it was, so we threw it in bourbon barrels!"

Nope, your guess is as good as mine. I did see some Tequila barrels being filled with 2% milk and fruit loops, so thats a possibility.

 

[chongcheesol]

CCB's take on Kane's Mexican Brunch?

 

[Rainman]

I heard one is going to be Black Ash aged in Remington Shotgun Barrels. They're naming it "Undrinkable."

 

[theMang]

3rd Bottle: Opal
emails going out today

 

[jivex5k1]

Dry hopped brandy barrel old ale eh? I can certainly say it will be the first of this style I've had.

 

[chongcheesol]

It's bourbon. A label floating around said brandy but the bottle clearly says bourbon just fyi

 

[theMang]

Same here. It is bourbon barrel though

 

[DenverBeerDrinker]

Can't say bottles 1-3 are thrilling me. Haven't tasted them yet though.

 

[chongcheesol]

I tried Lorem at Hunahpu day. I enjoyed it. A little hot though but really nice flavor. Just needs a little time hopefully.

 

[drummermattie021]

I'm kind of a noob, so not entirely versed in their release protocol, but do they ever send out emails with a description of the beer? Or do y'all just know from word on the street around the brewery what these are? All I got was a ready for pickup email with such poor image quality the text on the label is pretty much impossible to read.

Edit: and I literally just received the description email, so never mind.

 

[dtx00]

If BBGGA is anywhere near as good as RBGGA then we should be alright. Although heard decent things about the other two.

 

[shelfie]

I'm not a huge barley wine fan but I thought Lorem Ipsum was pretty good. Haven't opened gga yet but I have high hopes for it. I loved the rum version

 

[BigGene]

Had BBGGA at Huna, was fantastic. I Just hope we get a freaking stout or 2 this edition. Maybe a MZ or Huna variant.

 

[dtx00]

I think if editions are going to go this quickly, the likelihood of a stout each time is going to go way down.

 

[Corbot_3000]

I doubt this round will have a BA stout. Possibly next round.
