    I liked it more than regular which is opposite of what I've heard. Def a great beer

    2013 BB GBS > 2013 GBS > 2012 GBS > 2012 BB GBS

    (In my opinion)

    2013 BB GBS has much more cinnamon on the noses nd taste. The bourbon rounds out the flavor well, and it isn't boozy. Last year the bourbon was super strong and overpowered the spices.

    The bummer was that something like 40 barrels of BB GBS were accidentally lost due to a mechanical failure.

    I like the new glass more than the old one, many glasswhores would disagree with me.

    I picture you popping growlers at breakfast just so you can through all of those.

    Oh the pressure!
    I guess all of Mass is a refrigerator right now which is probably helpful.
    I know I'd have no where enough space for all those growlers.

    I'm fortunate to have a SO who is also into beer - she surprised me with a Bruery Reserve Society Membership for Christmas!
