FIB War Room

I can't get excited for Half Acre anymore and that makes me sad...

 

[Chest Rockwell]

Anyone seen Le Terroir in Chicago yet?

 

[backfat]

FFF Broodoo just arrived in my town yesterday. One of my favorite labels

not my pic. Too clean to be my apt.

I'll presume that Mr. Goroboros is just a rebranding of Mr. Oroboros from prevoius hop harvests?

Wet Hop Kolsch. GIT SUMMMM!

Mr. Goroboros is a wet hop pale ale with no hops post fermentation. A session pale easy in spirit and aimed to calm.

IL is great. Maybe you FIBs aren't so bad after all.

 

[lb304854]

Held it down at Bells today for the FIBs. You'll be proud to know I cut in line on 3 seperate occasions for pours.

Unfortunately I slept in, so I didn't get there 3 hours before opening.

I am disappoint.

Who here has inside info on this year's BCBS vurrients? I keep hearing Cocunut Rye, but is that really happening?

Yes. Also backyard rye.

There is also a non-fruited/non coconut just bcbs in rye barrels. I assumed it would be to blend with the over fruited Backyard variant, but was told it could end up as its own variant.

I'm assuming Rittenhouse, right? Heaven Hill and all.

...BTW, how soon is too soon to me to offer CA limited releases for BCBS?

As for the BCS Barleywine, I heard from a Goose employee (no really! I was talking to a beer guy at Whole Foods and this guy walked by and overheard us talking about BCS releases this year) that it's not 100% 3rd fill barrel-aged barleywine. There wasn't enough barrel flavor, so they dumped some barleywine into 2nd fill barrels and the bottled product will be a blend. On the other site, someone was suggesting a 60/40 split favoring the 2nd fill barleywine. I don't know how this will affect its KHU value.

The Goose employee also seemed to suggest that there will be a lot of it -- and I suspect that by adding in non-BCS barrel-aged barleywine, they're able to stretch it further than initially planned.

I dunno, but I could try to get us some right out of the barrel...if you're into that sort of thing.

I take it this is the reason the release has been delayed since March?

Did your guy tell you if either are being bottled? My ISO on BA has created mass confusion.

IT WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO MAKE CALIFORNIA UPSET

 

[lb304854]

Backyard for sure being bottled. Coconut most likely.
Tons of Barleywine. Don't tell California.

I wish someone besides Goose would release something desirable around here

I would kill for a brewery only release so I didn't have to drive around multiple days to get a similar allotment.

There are more Bruery members in Chicago than SoCal.

I would kill for an online sale where only you could show up in person on a set day to pick up bottles.
