    I'm not sure, but I got the impression it would be bottled. It was listed as a future release on their "bottles available for sale" board. I'd call and check.

    How you guys liking this batch? Much better than the first batch to me, given I've only had it on tap at this point. I'd put it in the same class as Origins and the better NoB blends. Not saying it isn't very expensive, but it was $12 last year, so no price increase this time, hopefully it says that way for 2-3+ years.

    Can someone explain the difference between this and the grand cru? I can't find any detailed descriptions anywhere online.

    The only difference is the Grand Cru was a reserve beer. Chad picked his favorite 2-3 barrels and blended them for the cellar reserve.

    The new batch has a lot more whiskey barrel character than the Grand Cru. Even more than when Grand Cru was fresh. My guess would be this latest batch was almost exclusively aged in second use barrels. All speculation, just going off taste.

    Batch 60 was on today and was delicious. Light, crisp, well hopped, nicely tart too. Great appearance.

    The whiskey barrel character is apparent but very well balanced. Picked up some NoB and Batch 60 today. Great stuff.

    Just called Davidsons and they say they're out of the NoB.
    Anyone seen this still on the shelves?
    I know I'm way after the fact but a friend just inquired so I wanted to pick one up for his next visit.

    Thanks
