Alesmith - Bottle Releases

BA old numbskull is one ive been after for a long time! hopefully ill finally get some!

i did see it once at a store, but hte sticker prices was $56! no thanks

 

Keep in mind that not all BA Numbskulls are the same. This is brandy barrel and not bourbon barrel - entirely different animals in my opinion. I'd love to have a blend of the two, like they did with the Olde Ale this year.

 

Looks like I'm planning another SD trip.

 

have they done a bourbon decadence before? if so how was it?

 

actually now that i think about it i think i had it in the tasting room last year. it's all a blur

 

These guys are one step ahead of me because I would have skipped a BBA version but now that it's brandy....

 

They released a brandy version last year, too. It didn't work for me, but quite a few people liked it.

Good compromise on the proxy system, I suppose, but I really don't see these moving quickly (especially the BA Decadence 2014).

 

To my surprise, I've liked nearly every brandy barrel aged beer I've had. I've pretty much stopped buying barlywines but this has me intrigued.

 

Time to start buying their IPA and Brown Ale again now that it's in sixers.

But where's the X????

 

brandy barrels are hit and miss for me. but Alesmith always delivers. will probably get some

 

So last years BA Old Numbskull was Brandy? Could've sworn it was Bourbon but I only had it on tap at citybeer during beer week and never saw a bottle. To be fair it was the last stop on a long afternoon of drinking so I could have totally missed this detail.

Whatever it was it was delicious. Preferred it to vietnamese actually...

 

They released both types last year.

 

Not sure about bottles, but they just posted a photo on FB suggesting some coconut-oriented Speedway is forthcoming.

 

I knew someone with less stringent work firewalls would pick up my slack. Thx, amigo
