    I know nothing else of this brew, only the label. Excited to try it.

    Discuss.

    Interesting, would make for a good dual release with a BB version.

    FWIW, it says English-style Barleywine under the "Saint" in Saint Arnold.

    This is the first release of an actual "Anniversary" beer. Any other anniversary releases have just been small batches of barrel-aged/fun stuff at the yearly anniversary party.

    IBUs of an English BW, all American hops. Also, this is an all malt BW. No dextrose,sugar, molasses etc. It's a big beautiful, full bodied Barleywine.

    Excited for this. However, I'm not a fan of the label. All those primary colors are hurting my eyes :confused:

    You may not be familiar with our original labels. The 20th anniversary label is based off of those.

    Definitely ignorant of your old labels, but I can appreciate that you guys would want to incorporate that into an anniversary release

    Can I have friends in Colorado pick it up for a third of the price?

    The funniest thing to me is a grown man/woman/TS butt hurt over a beer. It is something we consume and have fun doing so, your pointless trolls are unnecessary. If you are in a tiff over a beer in another market, think how someone else feels that kbs is in Texas or many other beers we now get that they cant buy a case of. (btw if you try you can buy a case of all texas beers edit: not merlot, you can only get one of 4 :slight_smile: ) Enough of that, glad you guys are steadily pushing the envelope now!
