Official SA Bishop's Barrel thread

Why Goode Company? I was thinking Hay Merchant since they have the space and they do nice dinners with special beer.

 

I know of one place that alot of us will be able to try it sooner than later

 

I'm sure they'll get some, but over the less than a year that they've been open, they've only sold bottles once or twice? Homefront and something when Schmaltz showed up? Maybe I'm wrong on those, but still, I would look at places that actually consistently sell bottles.

 

dpkpr (as in DPK Public Relations) does PR for Saint Arnold.

 

Bishop's Barrel No. 1 will be out this Monday - November 5th.

Bishop’s Barrel No. 2, which will be an Old Ale in Chardonnay barrels with cherries. It has been aging for nearly a year and is scheduled for release in February 2013.

Would that Old Ale happen to be DR12 by any chance?

 

It is destined for the SA website. I intercepted it. (I'm SA's PR guy).

Whoops, see wolffman17 already answered this...

 

Not DR12.

 

Thanks guys, You both fuckin' rock!!!

 

Are you guys going to release info for date and locations for BB1, or are you going to leave it a mystery?

 

They have their fridge stacked up wit bottle cases. I seen it myself, lol.
I'm hoping to go to petrol Monday and scoop up a bottle right at opening time.

 

That's a great question that I don't have an answer to. I've said it before, I just brew the beer. I'll ask around at work and try and let you guys know.

 

Almost no way I'll be able to get this unfortunately.

Only if they let me grab a bottle and go at Petrol.

 

Why would you want to sit on a BBA stout? Get it while it's fresh and get the most out of the bourbon barrels it was aged in.

 

I find BBA beers to be hot right out of the gate. Age mellows them, but you still get the barrel character.

 

You still get some of the barrel character, but nothing like when it is fresh though. I do get what you are saying. I prefer mine as fresh as I can get them. Most of the BBA stouts that age at my house are just to spread them out a little bit at a time so I don't just plow through my stash.

 

That's always part of it.

That said, if I was able to take one home, it would be to share with the GF (Her last name is Bishop, so she'd love to have the bottle too). I have my son, so both of us can't go out.

 

Its ALWAYS a mystery my friend!

When this drops, make sure you post it up since i will NEED to come to houston and hit a good bar for it.

malt is king!

 

That's my favorite DIO song.

RIP

 

Hay Merchant tweeted that they're selling BB1 starting Tuesday, and you can have it to go.
