Latest Pipeworks Releases and Updates (2018)

Ha, I actually didn't have either of these at the event, since I'd had them in the past. Maybe they were different than bottled?

I did have some peeps over for a tasting once, both were out, and Murderous killed the Straight Jacket.

Either way, both are delish.

At any rate, who has a bottle of Dark Kriek for me? Holy shit.

 

Straight jacket and murderous are both world class barleywines. I think the straight jacket was different than normal and heard someone say it was a 2 year barrel aged version. No idea if that's true or not.

Either way. That jones dog was incredible.

 

Also, any update on when the glassware will be sent out?

 

Or sweaters and new shirts?

 

sweaters and shirts got here on friday... still waiting on glassware. if you just had an order for apparel it'll be sent out in the next week. glassware people might have to wait a few weeks...

 

Awesome cant wait to pimp my new sweater and 2 new unicorn vomit shirts!

 

I agree Murderous was the best Barleywine at FOBAB. I thought for sure it was going to medal. Sooooo good..!!

 

Did you have the 2 year aged BCBBW? Don't get me wrong, I love Murderous, but that GI 2 year was sick and pretty damn different from what they bottled last year.

 

When will the Sure Bet DIPA see distro? Hopefully before Thanksgiving so I can have my sister bring a bottle or two home for the holidays (wishful thinking?)

 

I did have the 2 year BCBBW and did a side by side with Murderous and Straight Jacket and I'm still of the opinion Murderous was tops. With the 2 years on the BCBBW I got more oaky tannin then traditional barleywine sweetness. Most all in my group were of the opinion Murderous was the best barleywine of the night.

 

if i'm not mistaking, release date hasn't been announced.

description for the straight jacket: "Institutionalized Barleywine aged for fifteen months in Woodford Reserve Bourbon barrels."

website doesn't give any information on what the "normal" treatment is so hard to tell if this was a variation.

 

Nice little write up if you haven't seen it already:
