Well if you get to Parker or the Rez, you'll get to have some when it's debuted...

I'm gonna try to hit the Rez just for that

I'm guessing that's mainly (or entirely) from the last batch from a couple years ago. I'd be curious to know what barrels this edition was aged in. The 1st batch was aged 7 months in Buffalo Trace and Utopias barrels, this one was aged 20+ months.

I didn't take pictures, but there were two empty barrels sitting in the retail shop last saturday with dates on them that looked right for this batch of BA everett. They had buffalo trace branding on them which makes me assume they're Blanton's barrels - that's what b1 Damon was in, and that one said "aged in bourbon barrels from our favorite distilleries" as well.

Actually, that's really fast for the bottles to have bottle conditioned.. 9 days?

Ya. Pictures dont lie. We'll unless they are photoshopped..... This is not.

unless there is another batch of BA Everett right around the corner

Or maybe into another barrel? Double Barrel Everett?

Don't threaten me with a good time...

Yeah, and the BA Everett I have is date stamped as being bottled 02/2014. Interesting.

Any of you jerks here at HF? I'm in a UMiami hoodie about 35-40 back.

Maybe dumped for a new blend or something!

To further speculate....anyone else notice the barrels in the tasting room that are noted 'Aaron' and 'Jasper'? Listed as 'out' in April of 2014 I believe...

Yes. Please correct me if I'm wrong, but Jasper was the name of the spontaneously fermented beer that was formerly used to wash Winnimere, or one of the other CaJH cheeses before that collaboration ended, wasn't it?

Negative.

Le Sarrasin was really good but I had no idea it was going to be $30. Might have had another pour or two.

 

[skrip]

wow i didn't expect that price tag either... hopefully Mary will go on this week as well. ISO: Mary and La Sarrasin if anyones going up

Le Sarrasin is actually French for "New Brewery Roof".

Soigne is HF's best non-hoppy beer at least out of all the ones I've had (which doesn't include any really rare stuff). I absolutely love that beer.

It's tough between Soigne and Convivial, but I always find myself trading for more Soigne.

To be fair, La Serrasin was probably one of the best 3-4 beers I had at Parker Pie on Friday. And that's in some gigantic company, believe me. It is AWESOME. Best HF collab by far to the point that all others aren't even in the conversation.

I was sure hoping it would only be $15 or $20 per bottle, I was going to get a few at that price. Now, who knows. But it's a really great beer.

Can you pour it on waffles - that's the real question.

The thought of buying a case of Arthur one week and then A case of Brother Siogne the following week makes me think I should move to VT.

I greatly prefer the "regular" saisons (Arthur, Anna, Florence, Clara. Preference between them really depends on the day but I think Arthur reigns supreme most of the time)

Convivial and Soigne are also great, of course.

Part of me really wants to call in sick Friday and drive up. Case of god damn Soigné

Speaking of which - anyone heard anything about the next release of Clara or Edith? Really enjoyed those last year.
And Shaun mentioned something on Twitter last year about rebrewing a re-engineered version of Dorothy. Anyone know what happened to that?
