Smog City: Bourbon O.E. and Goldie bottle release

I'll have to mark my calendar for this one.

Here's their post from facebook:

Saturday, April 4 at 12:00pm - 8:00pm

Ready for some bourbon barrel-aged beer from Smog City? We're rocking bottles this time and it's going to be HUGE!

Smog City is bringing back two of Porter's most sought after beers, Bourbon O.E. and Goldie. Both will be limited bottle runs with hand-written labels and bottle numbers. See beer descriptions at the bottom of this event.

Here's what to expect:

Bottle Table
As we did with Infinite Wishes release, we will set up a BOTTLE SALES ONLY table at the back of the taproom. If you want to pick up your bottles and skirt the line for pours, this is the place to be!

Front Bar
You will also be able to pick up bottles and buy full pours, tasters and fill your growlers(no growler fills of the bourbon barrel-aged beers avail) at the front bar. We'll have a single line starting at the stainless steel bar and as many of our staff behind the bar to help as we can manage.

Serendoggity Hot Dogs
Come hungry, our favorite food cart will be here slinging delicious hot dogs starting at noon.

Bourbon O.E. I 13.5% ABV
Description to come!

Goldie | 10.5% ABV
A Belgian Golden Strong Ale aged in bourbon barrels for 5 months. Flavors of subtle coconut, vanilla, and bourbon combine with ripe tropical fruit esters to make an amazingly well balanced beer.

 

A shorter line works well for me.

Had Goldie last year, thought it was excellent. And Bourbon O.E. two years ago, also very good.

Looking forward to getting both in bottles.

 

Its a barleywine

Both will be limited bottle runs with hand-written labels and bottle numbers.

That sounds like no distribution other than the brewery to me, much like Infinite Wishes. But that's just a guess

We will probably see kegs pop up at various events and maybe some bars around town.

I tried BA Goldie at the Santa Monica BAM festival last year.

The important bits are:
Bourbon O.E. or B.O.E. as we call it in the taproom has garnered a strong following since 2013 when it was first released. This beer boasts balance above all with beautiful vanilla, oak, and char characteristics balanced out with the malty complexity of a true English Barleywine. Each bottle is hand-labeled, numbered and waxed. $14/bottle – 6 bottle limit

Goldie, first released in 2014, a Belgian Golden Strong Ale aged in bourbon barrels for over 6 months. Flavors of subtle coconut, vanilla, and bourbon combine with ripe tropical fruit esters to make an amazingly well-balanced beer. Each bottle is hand-labeled and numbered. $12/bottle – 6 bottle limit
