Bell's This One Goes to 11

Awesome!

 

This has been talked about for around 6 months now....don't hold your breath.

 

I'm curious if this will be worse than 10K. I don't see how, but maybe.

 

Someone needs to teach Bells how to make worthwhile anniversary/celebration beers.

 

saw that on twitter 2day looks awesome hope it come to Minneapolis

 

Nah,someone just needs to teach them how to make them rarer.

 

Imperial Red Ale is an...interesting choice for this beer.

 

Can't wait for this, just for the bottle alone.

 

Yeah I know because Batch 3k-9k were so terrible.

I agree that 10k was average at release (tasting solid right now) and 25th Anniversary was nothing spectacular, but nearly every year before that were a solid entry.

 

I really like their Eccentric Ale as well.

 

bells views the world from a post-Internetz beer geek perspective. the stain of the insta-expert (e.g, 24 year-old kid with money to burn on overpriced, undercrafted beer) on the craft beer world is of no concern to bells. they were here before and will be here well after. looking forward to this one.

 

I've drank quite a bit of Bell's in my day (as a Midwest transplant), and agree with a lot of what you're saying. I would never want them to start churning out #rare saisons and BA beers or what have you.

That said I've been uniformly underwhelmed with their anniversary/Batch _____ beers, which is what my OP was getting at.

 

Eleven. Exactly. One louder.

 

Oh.. I'd love to get a sixer of one of these down here in Texas

 

Was hoping it would be out by now, but still no sign of it here in Ohio D:
