Bottleworks XV release on 3/4

So is this Judgement Day aged in Tequila barrels with agave or a dark sour? I guess only time will tell...

 

The problem is that this will be a rare beer so it's mere existence in Seattle will be incongruous & inaccurate.

 

Don't just blame Tomme if you don't like the label. I'm sure Matt & Matt approved.
I never knew there was provincial disdain for downtown Seattle by Wallingford & Fremont. Who do you think you are? Tacoma?

 

i don't know about you guys, but i buy the beers for what's on the inside.

 

Indeed ... but since I can neither buy the bear yet nor confirm what's inside idle speculation is the best I've got.

 

I think it is a pretty cool label...they clearly put some thought into it, which is cool considering most of the recent labels have been pretty boring/typical. Can't wait to find out what this is...

 

Some details have now been posted: http://bottleworksbeerstore.blogspot.com/2014/02/anniversary-release.html

Cliffs notes: Bottles available when they open on Tuesday, March 4th. $20/bottle, limit 12 bottles / person.

 

12 per person? Must be a ton of it.

 

Tuesday March 4th, not 3rd.

Do they usually have it on draft on the release day? Would love to try it before purchasing bottles.

 

Oops. Edited.

I've only been to one anniversary release (last year's), so I'm not sure how typical this is, but last year the anniversary beer was on draft, along with several other nice beers that included past anniversary releases as well.

 

^^^^^ What he said. Previous anniversary beers on draft as well as the current release.

 

So... What kind is it? Besides tequila barrel aged?

 

This.

 

The Fremont BAFL-beer motto is rubbing off on them.

And, tooting my own horn, I called "no rare beer" earlier in the thread. ;-)

 

Prufrockstar's link says it will be.

 

$20 seems low for a Lost Abbey BA beer... I cant believe there hasnt been any carbonation talk yet...

 

I don't trade so the "rare" thing doesn't matter to me, but I am curious if this will see distribution outside Bottleworks (ie. Stone's anniversary beer)?

 

Expect events on Monday and Tuesday of next week, per my visit to Bottleworks a moment ago. Updated blog post apparently forthcoming this evening.

 

I heard they were supposed to get beer from a certain Belgian brewery this week. Wonder if it is true/related.

 

There is a Shelton shipment hitting Seattle/KC region this week... soo.... hmm....
