Bo & Luke release 4/19

I am going to B&L release tomorrow and DLD. I can try to pick up as many bottles as I can.

 

Anybody know what the bottle limit will be? This is a Easter Sunday release?

 

I know it's after the fact but it was Sat. and it was a 4btl limit for B&L. They had 6 B&L variants on tap, Vanilla, Fig&Date, Cherry, Cherry Vanilla, peanut butter, & Cognac. Also had Mac Fanny Baw and an All Funked Up series Brett IPA in bottles.

 

Just curious, but did any of you folks travel from out of town for the event?

 

There was no cherry vanilla variant, unless you had them mix half Cherry bitters and half vanilla.

 

Cognac was my fav. Also I got a bottle of macfannybaw and thought it was pretty good.

 

Does B&L see much distribution on draught in KY? I greatly enjoyed trying it on tap at Tørst, and will be moving to Danville this summer. Will it be around from time to time, or is it pretty much brewery-only?

 

Well, there were originally supposed to be 5 variants and the day of the event they decided to release a 6th. They initially put 5 on draft at the start of the event and then Daniel from ATG told friends at my table that they were about to put the 6th on. When I asked the a guy sitting at the table next to ours(who worked at Sergio's) what the 6th variant was, he told me cherry vanilla. Having tasted both the cherry variant and the vanilla variant it seemed redundant and I was stuck on the cognac variant so I didn't taste it myself so I suppose I can't verify it first hand. However, I did see that ATG posted something on fakebook the day of the event saying the number of variants was up to 6 so if it wasn't cherry vanilla can you tell me what it was?

 

I wasn't there all night long but there was a port variant but the bar tender told me that there weren't going to release it because the brewers were not happy with the result. I was there from 4:30 to about 6 ish so if cherry vanilla was tapped after that it sucks I missed it but it was not tapped while I was there.

 

I guess that would mean that the Port was possibly the 6th and when they discovered it was off they mixed the vanilla with the cherry to make up for it. Regardless, while I really enjoyed trying all but the cherry vanilla, if it existed and wasn't a blend, once I'd tasted them all, none compared to the complexity of the cognac variant. Picked up a bottle of the Mac fanny baw but I've yet to open it. Anyone here try it yet?

 

I picked up a bottle but haven't tried it yet either. Looking forward to it.

 

How much of there distribution footprint does this go through?

 

Mac fanny baw is alright. Variants see zero distribution. Also, there's a "port barrel imperial Stout" on tap right now at ATG.
