    I really enjoyed the Electric Rattlesnake. It did not drink like a Barleywine, rather more of a Black Ale. Really roasty, with a nice hop profile. Can taste the oak a bit, too. It's still out there. Recommend it if you like black ales!

    I’ve been meaning to make a trip to the dojo I’ve never had any of the BA variants are they worth the price of admission?

    No, it is the worst.*

    *worst, here, being defined as the best beers at the best price with the least hype and obnoxiousness in the city so stop telling people about it you’ll ruin everything you monster.

    Had one last night, along with a 2016 Bourbon County Coffee...very different beers, but I enjoyed the Port Barrel Abduction more. What a beer!

    100% yes. Bring a credit card, no cash accepted. And be prepared to put more money on said credit card than anticipated.

    What format and how much were the Premium Pilsner? I have former friends that don't like craft beer that I'm trying to get hooked on craft beer so we can be friends again.

    4-packs of 16 ounce cans. I don't remember what the price was off the top of my head - but I think it was ~$10?

    It does seem like some more stuff should hit the dojo soon....

    Also, I think their releases have become TOO easy. People are getting beer they don’t deserve. I propose a new release method, in the spirit of a true Dojo:

    The Belt System
    • White Belt - only non-BA stuff
    • Green belt - one BA bottle per visit. Achieved by wearing catnip vest and being chased by brewery cats for 5 minutes without being caught
    • Brown Belt - 4 BA bottles per visit. Achieved by dressing up as a ninja and putting pipeworks stickers in rival brewery coolers.
    • Black belt - unlimited BA bottles. Achieved by finding, fighting, and defeating the unicorn.

    They already have this. I'm a black belt 3rd degree. Unfortunately, since I achieved this by killing the unicorn, I'm not allowed to buy ANY bottles at the Dojo.
