Latest Pipeworks Releases and Updates (2018)

The first ba murderous in 12 oz bottles was Elijah Craig barrels. Not sure what year they were released.

 

Yes 12 oz bottles in 2013 was the first bottle release of BA Murderous. Batch 107. Elijah Craig barrels as well. From their website

 

Either way I'm sure it will be delicious. Game of jones is one of my favorite pipeworks beers

 

Jones Dog has been released in the past. It's been the base beer for BA Jones Dog after all. It's possible they've just not released the non-BA JD for some time and only brewed it for the BA version the last couple years. From their site it appears the non-BA hasn't been released in bottles since 2013. Seems both JD and GoJ are with cacao nibs & vanilla beans but from their site JD appears to have slightly different malts than GoJ. The ABVs are different as well. If you like GoJ it's a pretty safe bet you'll enjoy JD. Cheers.

 

Yeah it's possible. Their website says JD is 10.5% although I can only find past JD labels with 8.5% (also older versions with 6.5 before then). I can't see a beer being more imperial than 10.5%.

 

Fobab 2013 was The Murderous Elijah Craig. ba jones dog and the murderous subsequently released in 12 oz bottles. first ba release. also BA last kiss.

IIRC, 2012 Fobab was Oak aged abduction with cherries and another beer but i don't think it was a barleywine.

 

Finally got my hands on a basslet tonight. Also picked up another EG for good measure. Can't wait for this weekend!

 

yes and no... Jones Dog was brewed at 6.5% and 8.5%? way back when. Imperial Jones has never been released under that name. Game of Jones is Imperial Jones Dog. Sorry for the confusion. Internally we refer to it as Imperial Jones as well hence it accidentally making it into the e-mail that way. But for the record Imperial Jones = Game of Jones.

 

That clears that up. Thanks for helping us keep up with the Joneses.

 

Thanks for clarifying. That's what I was thinking.

 

There is no release calendar, but if you sign up for their e-mail updates on their website, you'll find out what's coming out each week, as well as what's on the horizon.

As far as purchasing single cans, not many places around here do that. I have heard that Bottles & Cans will allow you to break up packs, but I've never done it or inquired about it. Personally, I'd recommend you just buy the 4 pack!

 

The Open Bottle in Tinley Park will let you buy single cans as a suburban option

 

Lush, on Chicago Ave around Noble, has had some broken up in the past

It is relatively easy, especially at Binny's. There's a fresh batch that came out this week so check the bottom of the cans for canning dates.
