Barrier Brewing Co. (2019)

Anytime dude!

I took off Monday too. Such a solid move. I have about 75 people over for the polar bear swim and SB and I’ve learned my lesson about getting up for work at 5am the next day.

 

The new pricing on OG Barrier beers is amazing. Feels right.

 

Gotta say, there’s a burn on the finish, it’s canned yesterday, but it’s definitely got that dank malt thing going on. A bit roasty too. Lives up to MY hype. Well done.

 

Can't wait to open one - I bought 2 mixed cases today. It's nice getting 2 4pks for free.

 

I bought enough Icculus they had to go in the back and get some more. Also some Rembrandt, Evil Giant, the new Barleywine and BBHCFM. Nice selection at Barrier these days. Missed out on the Lights Out cans recently.

 

The new stout being released Wednesday sounds like it could be fantastic.

 

Yes, I’m definitely intrigued.

 

Holy hell Matadors Pace is fantastic. They sold out as I was leaving.

Glad I got the 2.

 

What were there, 80 bottles made?

 

I believe so.

The base beer which was on tap was also really good. Not much sweetness for a big ABV stout with vanilla and chocolate.

 

Has anyone here tried Payment is Due yet, out of curiosity?

The recent Other Half collabs were both excellent. DiBiase was really easy to drink and very tasty. Technique was right back to its 1st batch greatness.

 

Had it at the brewery last night. I enjoyed it but not enough to buy a 4 pack. It was a little harsh IMO.

Suburb with Mosaic and Thor is so damn good though. Dont sleep on that.

 

Sub 3 week old money available for delivery on food kick. Good times

 

So the Evil Giant in cans - supposed to be a Rye IPA. I recall it having that rye bite and noticable malt backbone. These cans are slightly bitter but I wouldn't say it has any rye character. The finish is definitely much softer and light than it used to be. All that is fine if it was a different beer but I am disappointed if it was a hidden recipe change.

 

Happened to be in the neighborhood and picked up a few 4-packs...the new ipa OceanWood is pretty fantastic. Best non-collab ipa they’ve made in awhile. Even getting a subtle melon on the finish. Top notch stuff.
Really looking forward to the oak aged, coffee Morticia. Gonna have to wait until the weekend for that.

 

The barleywine made with Cambridge Brewing Company is amazing. I definitely want to pick up more.

 

I agree. I meant to drink 1 and age the other 3 but I liked the 1st so much, I opened another one right after it.

 

Yea it is definitely a killer beer. I love that two local breweries have now canned a BW!

The Morticia coffee is really good too. Had a can last night.

 

What's the other one you're referring to?

 

Sand City. They dropped a BW with bourban aged coffee the other day. Really good.
