    This is great stuff. I'm not big on paying $1/oz of it, but the lady and I split a pour. Very tasty.

    Can't emphasize how good this stuff is.

    This is what they're bringing to the Northern Lights Rare Beer Fest, but I have no idea of they plan to put it in bottles or not:
    Blood in the Barrel - Belgian Style Dark Ale aged in Malbec wine barrels

    When they had 12 Lunker on tap a couple months ago, I was told by the server that they had it in the barrels again, but she had no idea how much longer it would be.

    This would be a Lunker year, if I'm not mistaken, However, haven't heard much of anything, but BtD was supposed to be a Jan release last year and wasn't ready until march/april

    All of their BA beers I've had have been incredible - BA Wee Heavy, BA Dissent, Lunker and Before the Dawn.

    I just wish they'd bottle the first two at some point, and release the last two annually!

    When I went in for Lunker a few months ago I asked about BtD and they said they hadn't even brewed it yet, so I doubt we'd see it at all this year if that's true.

    Dang...last time I was there I was trying to count the number of barrels they had in the back...it was at least 20 if I remember right...so good stuff must be coming!

    A few months ago one of the brewers told me a Lunker was in the barrels and it would be a few months... Couple weeks ago the server (Chelsea, I think) gave me a wink and said 'soon'. So Lunker ought to be any time...

    I'm sure we'd all love a wink from Chelsea

    Sorry , let me re-phrase. I was alluding to the fact that Lunker is probably "not ready" yet... Much like back in Dec '13 BtD was supposed to be ready Jan '14. but it wasn't released until March/April '14

    True. She could have winked and said '2017'.. and I'd still have left happy.

    I absolutely can't wait for another batch of Lunker. The last batch was a world-class beer.

    Someone on twitter asked if the recent picture of beer going into barrels was before the dawn...their response was "We actually already have a batch of BTD in barrels. Pictured here was #WeeHeavy #yum Stay tuned!"
