New in Kentucky

Some folks I know just posted a pic of an online order shipped from Asheville today, so it does work.

 

Does the store rhyme with "Basty Teverage"?

 

Pazzo's in Lexington is taping a special Rhinegeist beer today.
I talked to a rep about it yesterday and he said it's likely the only time the beer will be in the state. If I recall he said it was an IPA but if you want to know for sure i'd call the restaurant. If anyone makes it there to try it let me know what you thought!

 

How do you find out when they are putting this stuff out? Their website hasn't been updated in years it seems and i'm not one for twitter really.

 

So I was at CBB this afternoon to try the BBJSP on tap. If you had the bottle last year, this is very similar only with less bourbon and more oak, almost unpleasantly so as it warms up.

The bartenders said bottles should go on sale within a few weeks.

 

Just opened a bottle of Sinkhole Stout that I've been sitting on for a couple months. Was the consensus that this was infected? Got a vaguely rancid smell out of the bottle and extreme tartness out of the beer itself. Didn't know if they had cleared it up with later bottlings or if the whole batch was bad, but this is just not good at all.

 

Had it on tap the day they released bottles and something was definitely off with it. I never heard anyone officially say that it was infected, but it sure seemed like it was heading that way.

 

If this was the 2016 bottle, I encourage you to contact the brewery on its FB page. I don't know what sort of response you'll get, but please say something.

 

Yeah, it was, got it right when the bottles came out here in Louisville. I never had the previous vintages, so I'm not sure how it's supposed to taste, but I got no barrel and no imperial stout, just tart and feet smell. I had heard tell of infection rumors before I bought so I knew what I was getting into, just wasn't expecting something so clearly off.

If you ordered thru a store in KY, there is no chance you get it. Any store that says they can order a full case for you has no idea what they are ordering.

If it's a store that has lots of craft offerings, you spoke to the wrong person.

At one of my newer stores, I get 4 or 5 notes a week from my clerks (low level employees that have little knowledge of the ordering process) asking for some beer "whale", pappy or weller 12.

 

There's something clearly off, I agree. Until/unless someone takes it to BDAS and analyzes it (like the actually infected BCBBW) I don't want to go there.

I just think that for some reason, they cannot get a decent bourbon barrel anymore. That Rum Nate's is killer though.

 

3 Floyd's doesn't distribute to PA. Evidence: http://www.3floyds.com/distribution/
Also, It's illegal to ship alcohol into KY from retailers. So more than likely if it does ship, it'll be confiscated by the carrier and you'll never get what was in the package anyway. Just an FYI.

 

Gotcha, sorry I misunderstood what you were attempting to do. Good Luck.
