Bell's All Stouts Day Nov 4th

I do not believe anything has been announced yet. Black Note and Dagger Stout were on last year, along with the more regularly seen stouts. I would imagine Bourbon Cherry and BA 9000 (stout or not) may still be on.

 

* insert generic I hate Black Note comment here*

 

Dagger Stout is my favorite stout they haven't bottled that they make. Spiced Stout made a return recently, and I don't remember this one being around at all last year. It is usually a good stout celebration, so as long as you like stouts there will be enough to make it worth your trip! Bring some good Minnesota stuff for us.

 

Solid chance I will be there for this!

 

yeah, this party is awesome. They also usually announce the winner of the homebrew contest.

 

Bourbon Barrel Kalamazoo Stout is rumored to be back on for the occasion. Smoked Stout and Spiced Stout came on recently. BA 9000 and BA Cherry are still going strong. Double Cream is on as well. Take that for what it is worth but it may be a decent indicator of at least a partial tap list.

 

Who hates Black Note?? Nevermind, don't wanna know.

 

car pool?

 

For serious

 

Not going now

 

There was something today about 16 taps but not specific beers.

 

Last year's menu.

 

They have increased their tap capacity since last year (music room/bar opened Thanksgiving of last year, right?), so hopefully there are some additional/new stouts on tap.

 

Nope it was open last year too.

 

The music side is rarely open outside of shows and specific events, this may not be one of them. While they do have extra tap space I would not expect much more than the taps on the cafe side.

just a heads up they had barrel aged nitro k-zoo on at the union last night and in the kindest respect to the union and bells it was terrible! not sure what happend with it but it was flat and zero barrel or stout flavor.

 

I agree, something was wrong there. The Black Note was great and the BBA Batch 9000 was fantastic though!

 

Flat beer on tap? Sounds like someone at The Union messed up, thats not on Bell's. I had it from the handpull at Bell's over the weekend. It tasted like cask Kalamazoo with a light barrel flavor. If anyone is expecting big barrel they will be disappointed, it is very well balanced. The cask was not my favorite due to the mouthfeel but I would not say it was close to terrible.
