BB Oil getting that Oro treatment would be more accurate I think.
I didn't understand what you meant by your post until I read the label of the Bourbon Barrel Oro ***** just now.

A majority will last through the day. a few will kick but still plenty of good stuff and you can get bourbon Oro ***** bottles. Definitely make the trip down if you have a chanceAny idea how long these drafts will last gonna be in Columbus later and looking for somewhere to stay ( relatively)on the way back to Boston.... Athens sounds nice this time of year
Thanks for the response! Looks like id probably get there around 1030, still worth it? Also any TBers still around at that time?A majority will last through the day. a few will kick but still plenty of good stuff and you can get bourbon Oro ***** bottles.

I opened my last bottle Friday night and did not enjoy itAnyone still drinking 2015 black maple? I've had 3 bottles recently and theres something wrong there.
I'm completely guilty of letting the wrong beers sit in the cellar for too long. That's something I enjoy though - I get to see what happens to these beers over time. Sometimes there's magic there and sometimes it doesn't work out at all. BBBM was an amazing beer when you released it and now its different and I don't so much enjoy it. Experiment over. Simple as that. But I'll be back in line for more whenever you release it again!Just opened a bottle from my warm stock, there is a definite oxidative note to it. Which is to be expected for a barrel aged beer that was in a barrel for 10-14 months then bottle almost a year ago. Storage conditions can cause this to be more expressive as well. All flavors are there just muted by oxidation nothing tart or sour. Unless you are confusing oxidation, tannin, and or bourbon as a "tart" character. I believe it is more of a sharp note. It's not the same beer as it was fresh, but that is to be expected right? The beer is practically 2 years old at this point, its going to change.
In respects to BBVCDA, we retested 6 bottles from our back stock. 5 bottles came back clean, 1 bottle had just a single colony growing which is below the concentration to cause alarm. I will be tasting some bottles later today. Most likely it is once again a combination of tannin, oxidation, bourbon character, and the coffee adding acidic notes. Not to say that there are not some isolated bad bottles out there. All processes are very hands on, including the bottling process. Human error is real and as much as we work to reduce it, it still occurs. If you all have any concerns feel free to email me at [email protected] or [email protected]
Looking over BA and Untappd reviews, there are plenty of excellent reviews of both beers happening on a weekly basis. Very few "infected" comments. I stress to many customers, I have aged the beer already. We have released it because we believe it is a its peak of flavor, aroma, and overall character. Feel free to age some if you like... probably won't get any better. So when it happens, words like infected, sour, and off get used. Phrases like drain pour, going bad, or something wrong get thrown around a lot to. Its beer, its going to change. Barrel aged beer is heavily oxidized before it gets bottled, stability, alcohol, adjuncts, and storage conditions at distributor - retailer - consumer - trader - drinker, can all effect the beer greatly. Keep all this in mind before you load up your cellar.

No longer interested in creating satellite locations.Good Afternoon Mr. beace!
About 6 months ago on another site you teased a potential venture "north" of Athens in a year or two. Any hints on if that is still a goal and what it might entail?
Also, have you ever considered "-beace out" as a signature line? Because I totally would.
It's possible, only a few though. Brewed at the brewpub. We will see how it sells, maybe rip 10 1/6bbls for distroStopped by the Public House last Saturday for lunch, tried a few new beers, including this fresh hop pale ale, Dutch Master. holy hell was that beer incredible. According to the description, wild grapes were grown in tandem to the hops used which gave it a pronounced grape note. definitely my favorite of the 6 i sampled that afternoon. I don't remember seeing so many beers on tap there during a non-release but it has been a while since my last trip. Super bummed I forgot my growlers
any chance of Dutch Master kegs making it out of Athens?
yes, wednesday or Thursday... depends on how the bottling runs go. Keep your eyes posted to social media.
