Bourbon County Barleywine

We will find out soon enough, as bottling would be happening within the next few weeks to be sent out anytime in April.

 

gross

 

MarcatGSB who is your reliable source for this information? (just curious not trying to bust any balls here...)

Thats fine by me! Who wants to drink a bunch of fresh BA Barleywine as the weather starts warming up? Lets save this beer for the cold months of the year aka big beer season! More time in barrels is a wise move as well.

 

hello

 

BIG Regret: Trading away five bottles of KH for a couple sub-rarities (e.g., Event Horizon, Black Ops, etc.) when I was new to the trading game. Always thought KH would continue year after year, so the morale of the story is to never take your favorite big beers for granted!

 

You do! I bet... Just save some Bourbon County Barleywine for the snakes coming out of your mouth and nose...that avatar is crazy man!

 

Many BA's have similiar stories like this your not in the minority. When your a new trader your going to do stuff like that..

 

The only time i have hung out with you was drinking barleywines, and it might have been summer too.......

 

You live and learn. I just paid $100 for a bottle of Rare BCBS before I ever tried it. Bought multiple Cherry Rye BCBS bottles and like it way more. C'est la vie.

 

I hope it gets delayed until November. More time in barrels is good, releasing in the cold months is good. Plus, selfishly, it gives Ohio time to pass the ABV increase bill they're introducing so I can actually buy this! I foresee trading for this being a mess when it first hits.

 

BIG REGRET: Not getting into trading early enough to have been able to trade you a Black Ops for a KH.
BTW, still ISO: KH. Anyone want to help me out on a 1st Anniversary bottle?

 

Which is why they damn well better get the ABV right on the label this time...

 

will see Brett Porter this weekend and try to pry out the FACTS for this thread..........

 

Make sure you start "The Most Definitive Bourbon County Barleywine" thread after that convo....

 

I highly recommend using one of these.

 

I'm no narc, and enjoy the relationship I currently have. As a reference point, King Henry saw it's first bottled release on Black Friday at Clybourn, 2011, November 25th, 2011. (http://beerpulse.com/2011/11/goose-island-king-henry-bottles-to-debut-on-black-friday/). King Henry was bottled on 10/08/2011. Granted, 22 oz. bottles vs. 12 oz. bottles, that's 55 days.
Could be a couple reasons for that including saving them for Black Friday release, bottle conditioning, whatever.
If Bourbon County Brand Barley Wine was making an appearance in bottle form in April of 2013, it would be bottled very soon (or already), and I have a feeling someone would have heard about it.

 

wasnt asking you to narc. Just like I know a guy from goose and a distributor that work closely with goose, etc, what ever the case maybe... Not asking for a full name with bibliography or anything! lol. It cool either way guess I just take you word for it then.

 

i also heard from a very reliable source that it would be saved until november, for the purpose of releasing multi bcs variant releases all at the same time, black friday 2013.

but there are definitely other GI releases to look forward to first. a new fulton and wood will be a blend of a sake/saison, which I have tried and is unique and delicious, the grapefruit sofie release (tap only as well), and im sure other bottled surprises as well.

 

Pretty sure Gillian will be bottled in those 760's too...

 

Love those new bottles! I've noticed they didn't raise the prices for the extra ounces either.
