Chicago Stout Releases (2018)

I'm honestly programmed to assume that. I stared at the question for a second and thought "should I chime in again that they're not distributing this version of BAMCC?"

Then I realized that no, Sean, the world doesn't only revolve around barrel-aged beers.

 

You keep talking like that, and I'll have to report your posts.

 

This fucking guy right here, drinking non-BA stouts and shit!


In all seriousness, yeah, I agree, but the barrel-aged version "fixes" the issues I had with the regular version (mostly spice-related). If I liked spice in my beer I might prefer the non-BA version.

 

Not sure if everyone has blocked me on here....what the hell is MCC?!

Thanks!

 

That wasn't for you, I've got you on block.

 

I responded within 10 minutes! Maybe I'm blocked

 

I never saw it; maybe I'm internet-ing wrong.

 

No, not at $30 a bottle. They really need to partner with some local bars to offer a horizontal tasting where you can get 3-4oz pours of each variety so you can do side by sides of the barrels.

 

About once a year I bite the bullet & buy one of these and they are ALWAYS delicious. Like, as good as BCBS.

It's a lot but worth it every time I do it.

I might grab the vanilla version if possible...

 

If the bottles were in the $20-25 range id be interested. There are just too many good things to buy at a better value.

 

While I personally don't like the ones I've had quite that much, I would agree that they're a lot better than I expected (given that they're shelf turds). They're a little overpriced from my perspective, but they're easily the best BA stout I'll typically find on shelves year-round.

 

Anyone heard about when Central Waters BB Stout is supposed to hit Chicago? Unless of course I already missed it.

 

Yeah, I generally have no problem getting the CW barrel aged stuff, but the BB Stout seems to go a bit quicker (not surprising), so I like to be on top of that one a bit more.

 

I totally agree with this. The hype for stout vs Scotch Ale or quad is significantly different. Any heads up when it's landing would be appreciated.
