Nicee were you able to score that in a shop by you or in a trade? Ive never seen that over here.
Nice barrels too.
Haven't had this one in quite some time. Last time I recall it was last winter brewing at 2 am in 17 F weather. Very good, as I remember it to be. On my second now, since it's so freaking drinkable.

I was trying to remember who it was who was drinking this a while back. I see it in my local supermarket all the time. Almost pulled the trigger a week or so ago. Got a 4 pk of global warmer instead.maybe next time.

The barrels are 3 apple brandy, 1 bourbon, 1 rye. I am gonna use and abuse em then sour them.
As I was trying to decide on my next beer, my 8 year olds told me I could never be an astronaut.
Then they showed me this:

Apple brandy barrel sounds like it could be awesome for beer. The bottle shops i go to have plenty of rochefort just no orval.
Those are 2 of my brewing goals for 2014. Purchasing a barrel, and brewing at least one sour.

Nice goals! I hope to get my first sour underway this weekend. As long as NB delivers in time (which seems like it could be a problem given the weather forecast for Thursday/Friday) And as I'm drinking my RIS I'm already thinking that I need to brew it again and age it in a bourbon barrel.
Thanks! What did you plan on brewing as a sour? A traditional sour style? Or did you plan on souring a beer after its normal sacc primary? Im excited for my RIS i have it bulk aging next to a dubbel im also looking forward to.
