Barrel Aged Week 2014

Did the ironic hipster siren go off for her?

 

Wow, so you're saying there's a chance for me this weekend...

 

Last night they still had everything on except Eye Wine and #7. They were all fantastic!

 

I know where I am having lunch tomorrow!

 

I hope you showered when you got home after being that close to a hipster.

 

I have been back a couple of times to finally get through everything. IMHO...

1) Eye Wine
2) Buffalo Bock
3) Twisted Trace

And personally, I wasn't really that into anything else. Most of these others (and Twisted Trace bordered on this, as well) didn't come off as cohesive. But I think that Eye Wine was a real home run!

 

Project 3106, Manhattan, and Twisted Trace were my favorites (in that order, probably). They were all fantastic though; although, I admit I don't love the Eye Wine. I had it at the Northern Lights festival as well and didn't love it there.

 

Different strokes for different folks. Project 3106, manhattan, czar jack for me. In that order. Didn't have one I didn't like, though.

 

Yup. Tapped Monday around 1pm. I got the first taste. It's been a long wait but well worth it.

 

Is this available in the growlered format yet?

 

I was wondering this myself.

 

Called today. They said it would be a few more weeks

 

Masala Mama and Hope & King not on tap

Czar Jack, Twisted Trace, Project 3106, Manhattan Reserve, Buffalo Bock and Double Barrel Jack Frost are still on...yay

 

Double Barrel was my favorite of the 6 on, beat out Twisted Trace due to that smoke/char difference this year.

 

Not on tap? Well, they are now.

 

Czar jack with a side of Rip Van Wink. Life is good

 

I think it came back on, they were having tap issues while I was there... Who knows?

 

Correct, they were having tap troubles when I stopped in for lunch around 1. It was back on in the evening

 

Had every single offering this year And I'd have to say that out of all years I've attended Barrel Aged Week, this maybe my favorite! The fresh opening maybe helped a little bit, but, I thought the brews were fantastic this year! If I absolutely had to choose, I think the Manhattan Reserve took the cake. But I couldn't complain about any of the BA offerings. Fantastic brews and still among one of my favorite brewery events! Great to be able to get back into the doors of Town Hall again.
