Official SA Bishop's Barrel thread

I once opened a beer that had all three it blew my mind at the amount of work that needed to package these things. If I recall it was some Honey Ale from Belgium in a Champagne bottle. It was corked, capped and waxed.

It was funny when I took the cap off and tried to pour and nothing came out. What type of Belgian sorcery was this?!


Albeit a higher cost, I wonder what the effectiveness doing all three would have on a beer in the very very long run.

 

I can understand why people are somewhat disappointed that the next BB is similar to #1. Though, I have read nothing that says this is the "same beer" as BB 1. It might be, but also could have different malts, a different hop rate, different barrels, different lots of stuff. Also, didn't BB 1 have molasses? I am willing to see what it actually is before I make any judgment.

 

I'm excited. I never got to try BB1!

 

Transferring BB3 out of barrels and into stainless today.

 

I'm confused.. looks like he is filling barrels??

 

Simple diaphragm pump correct?

 

Same here, and I'm a stout lover!,

 

Guess I need to hurry up and drink the two bottles I have. I haven't tried this beer yet, so I don't know what it tasted like fresh but I'm looking forward to trying it when I get back home.

 

Prepare for lots and lots of distinct "wood" taste - this is the only BBA stout where I can clearly taste the barrel itself.

 

We actually just push beer out of barrels using CO2. No pump necessary.

 

Seems so simple but cool to learn that...

 

Based on what I've heard, you are right about at least one key ingredient that's different. They used a different yeast - the Saint Arnold house yeast.

 

mmm... similar to BB1.. I'll take it....mmm

 

Petrol just got a couple cases of BB2 in for those still looking.

$6

 

Man, that is surprising. Wonder where it has been all this time.
