    Heard there's only 300 bottles or so. Anyone know if it's barrel aged?

    Insert every laughing meme and gif ever. U guys know that South Park episode where cartmen sees the people with butts for faces and laughs so hard he thinks he'll never find anything else as funny ever again, this is the BA version of that. I hope this is a joke picture of a couple guys outside smokin.

    I think Erik left his chair there as his spot for their group while they sleep at their hotel.

    Nope, not bad at all. I think everyone is saving themselves for fobab. Nobody wants to get up early and wait in this dreary weather.

    Only reason I would see buying a bottle would be trade bait. The beer itself is not very impressive.

    Nevermind actually, it was on tap before, if you drink it out of a bottle that is dipped in wax, it will most certainly taste at least 37x times better. I think. Or is it 39x better?

    Why couldn't they just make one beer for their 25th anni....Chutulu or whatever and make a LOT more of it? The other beers are/were whiffs IMHO.

    Not sure what time zone those reviews are relative for, but they are all time stamped at 16:xx:xx which would be 4am CST. So unless they passed out samples at 4am today, those were probably just entered by a group of BA's standing in line at 4am to make their effort of standing in line super early worth their while.

    They had it on tap on the 31st (oct), the 7th and the 14th. It might still be available on tap there. The beer was just added today on BA
    so maybe those folks were waiting for it. (weird that it was all at 4am) That being said, i just added my quick review and thoroughly enjoyed this. This was screaming west coast sour (a lot like a russian river sour). My review is genuine and accurate as you can be on a 5.0 scale. Not to prove a point.

    I seem to remember this one being previously available on tap as well. However, if that was the case, how come there are not any reviews prior to today? I of course hope it is delicious as I just dropped $20 bucks on one...
