Other Half (2019)

How long are these stouts barrel-aged for?

 

The original Double Sunset beers came out in Oct 2018, so i'd assume it is from then, and then it was conditioned on the Coffee/Vanilla recently (for that bottle)

 

few hours...need to make sure the sugar sweetness doesnt fade

 

It says 1 year in the IG post.

 

How's the line?

 

Only on one of them... I would assume a year though...but who knows

 

Just got here at 11:30. At Smith/centre. Smaller than I thought.

 

So the post says $18 per bottle on the Geisha coffee non BA Stout, but on the board on their story it says $22?

 

What’s the story? Plenty of vapor or did the vultures pick that carcass clean already?

 

Typo. It makes sense. Changing the coffee bean to one of the most expensive coffees in the world isn't going to reduce the price by $4.

 

Anyone try these 1pp coffee stouts yet? I'm also wondering if the maple BA one even has coffee - since they add it after aging, and they didn't mention adding any, my guess is no? Is it a coffee stout then, or just a coffee stout without coffee with maple?

 

Well considering these are $16 with out the Geisha coffee, the bump to $18 was fine IMO, bump to $22 when you are charging the same for BA Coffee Stouts, not as fine.

Just hoping the Verdant collab lasts till tomorrow afternoon

 

My take is that there is one that is just the base beer + maple BA aged. And another is base beer + coffee + vanilla + maple BA aged. And another which is base beer + very very very special coffee + vanilla (no maple BA)

ALL THREE ARE TOSED TO THE GILLS THO

 

Just got the Pastrytown email. Seems like "standard" pricing format / etc so far

I mean Geisha is really really really expensive, Sey recently sold 250g boxes for $60 each.

 

Yeah I know that stuff is CRAZY expensive, i'd love to actually drink some it some day

 

I thought it was BA!

 

I think they added a couple lines here:

Join us Saturday, March 7th along with 40+ of our closest brewer buds bringing their best pastry stouts, barrel-aged barley wines, sought after mead and fruited Berliners.

As if BA stouts was not enough, we have added barleywines and mead to the mix.

 

Barleywine is life though. I don't get mead though, I sense that a lot of the fans are the same people who chase batter water.

 

Upping the hangover ante.
