2014 Bourbon Barrel Temptress

Apologies in advance for shitting up the BBT thread, but Rahr was never really that good to begin with, and now they've ruined their best beer by sacrificing quality for higher production while simultaneously jacking up the price 50%+? I hoped they might learn from last year's disaster that is still sitting on shelves at several local places. That's the kind of shit your core customers remember. Operating like that in the current craft beer environment when there are so many amazing options and such stiff competition is a recipe for eventual bankruptcy. Why would anyone ever choose Rahr over Community or Lakewood? Or hell, even Deep Ellum or Franconia? Not to mention Austin or Houston where the "local" appeal isn't there.

 

So I missed out today at Beer and Wine World in Mansfield. they said for the very first time he had a line this morning. He did not have a line for Black Friday for BCBS and the BCBW.

If any one has an extra let me know.. Have a Westy 12, Russian River, Bruery, etc..

I drove back to Houston this afternoon so wont be back in town until new years week but willing to ship if needed.

 

Any tips north DFW....worked all day, missed out at the normal spots

 

I have a '13 BBT i would trade for a 4 pack of BA Legion if anyone is interested

 

I'm in town from Denver, would really like to snag a bottle of this. I know I'm kindof late to the game on this release but if anyone has a hidden gem of a store, and doesent mind sharing, please PM me. I don't have a ton but I can throw you a death by coconuts or a few bomb!(is that still on a shelves here?)if that's worth anything. Also, if it's north Dallas or Carrolton or Denton that would be ideal since I'm staying around lewisville. Shoot me a message f your able of if you want to grab a beer and hang out!

 

I LOVED Death By Coconuts when I had it at GABF...maybe between me and my brother @yelof77 we can make something happen...

 

I know a guy who works in a beer store who loves coconut beers. Can't guarantee he has any BBT left, but I can try to put you in touch with him if things don't work out with JJFoodie.

 

Sounds good! Let me know. I'm here till Saturday!

 

I'll holler at him and get back to you! Cheers!

 

My memory is terrible but dident bbaww use to cost several dollars less? I remember last year they jacked the price up a bit and I guess are staying there? What percentage is that beer even barrel aged?

 

I thought regular Temptress was 9.1% and with the barre-aging it went up to 9.8%.
