New in Kentucky

While the price point is nice for a 750ml, it's not great considering dollar per ounce. I really wish they would have canned this and offered it in a four pack. They would compete directly with W6 Heller Heaven locally, but I absolutely love Mosiac hops and would have bought it in heart beat if it were like $10-12 a four pack.

I'm not sure why Country Boy doesn't can more interesting things. Maybe their canning line is elsewhere? That's what I'm assuming atleast.

 

I think once their production brewery opens in Georgetown, we'll start to see more canned offerings. I don't know when that facility is set to open, but they just broke ground on it a few months ago.

I've seen the can label for Halfway Home somewhere online, but never heard anything about it actually making it into cans. That was about a year ago.

 

Arriving in Louisville on Thursday. Best spot to pick up ATG cans?

 

So how was it?

 

Yeah, Halfway Home was going to be a seasonal IPA release. Unofficially, the plan was scrapped because the artwork got criticized. Officially, I'm not sure, but I really hope they get the butter problem solved before they can any IPAs (4+ years in, and they still put butter bombs on tap at the brewery).

I had it at Hopcat when it first released, then had it this weekend at the brewery. It's the best BA offering since Rum Nate's, but this one even tastes good when it's chilled. So much vanilla. I still prefer the bottles of DBSW though.

 

Have they released DBSW in bottles recently or just on tap? I'm getting excited to be local to KY brews again.

 

This batch of Rum DBSW is not being bottled, from what I've been told. Maybe if they do a batch for the fall.

 

I can't tell you how difficult this was to get... Chicago got 12 cases going to 12 stores. All will be gone within a few hours of arrival. But I did it!

 

CBB just sneak dropped a Rye Whiskey barreled strong ale in collab with Baird Brewing in Japan. It's been sitting for months because they've been supposedly trying to coordinate a simultaneous release with Baird and it takes time to get the beer to Japan.

 

I see no one answered and this might be too late, but try calling ATG and seeing if their production facility is open for can sales. Not far from downtown. They may even sell cans to go at the brewpub although I've never asked. The better stores which you've probably already researched will probably all have some but availability is sketchy.

 

ATG sells cans & also try Old Town Wine & Spirits on Bardstown Road.

 

Thanks! Just landed and will be in town for a week. Appreciate the info.

 

Well, you're not going to want to go anywhere near ATG/downtown tomorrow (unless it's to go to Ali's funeral)...

 

Drank my first one last night... Super delicious! Glad I have a few now
