    I hope some bottles of snakes make it to the afternoon so I have a chance to snag a couple.

    Do they still use Pappy barrels for Snakes in a Barrel?

    @IMFletcher always has the scoops. I can't find any information and tried calling but no answer at the brewery (Weird). If this is true, I am going at 11 tomorrow. This years version is fantastic.

    I was there for the Heller Heaven release today. They were labeling bottles and had a sign that said bottles on sale tomorrow.

    It's two per person, sale starts at 11 tomorrow, price about $18 each. The bottles will not last the weekend. There are not many. Do not wait. I cannot hook you up, sorry. All spoken for and more.

    There is no social media for this release so far. There may not be any social media for this release.

    Believe me, or don't. But I'm not lying.

    On an unrelated beer post, some of my buddies have started hosting a craft beer-related radio show from 3-4 PM Wednesdays at http://www.lexingtoncommunityradio.org/en_US/ If you use the pop up player, select the feed from 93.9 fm.

    Episode 1 is also on YouTube at

    One of the hosts is sort of a big timer here at BA. I won't say any more.

    If anyone heads out to West Sixth today, let me know how it looks. Hopefully some bottles are still hanging around at 4 when I can get out there.

    For all intents and purposes, there's no line. Just a few of my buddies (and my wife is on the way). I'll be there eventually, but only have time to grab bottles and run today.

    Wish I could post the picture but no wait time and the bottles look great! 18 is a bit expensive but I am happy they finally bottled it! Should have released it earlier. Even says on the label it is out of the barrel in January!

    Great looking bottle though. Can't wait to have some tomorrow. Anyone have the pay it forward BB aged bottle? I am still sitting on it but curious.

    Something was off with the BB Porter. It was a little thin and over carbed and I didn't get any cocoa from my bottle. It got better as it warmed up, but I was a little disappointed with it.

    ^ good to know. I'll wait to drink it still. I am really hoping this snakes is as good as the draft I had in February. That beer was utterly fantastic.

    Curious to have heller heaven when I get back. Anyone know if they changed the recipe or anything? It was a good beer last year but could be better with some additions.

    I got my bottles today.

    I got to have an uncapped can of Heller yesterday at the release. I think they've dialed it back to 9% now, I really enjoyed it, it doesn't pack quite the punch of the higher ABV versions, but this is moderately dank and enjoyable.
