    Interesting barrel aged beer label from Pipeworks the Guys Drinking Beer posted:

    I'm game! Hopefully I'll be able to find it in this pandemic. I feel like Pipeworks' distribution footprint shrunk or stores stopped placing orders to save cash

    Sounds great but would like to see a version without cherries as well.

    curious what the base beer is for this since it's been in barrels for 2 or 3 years. Non infected murderous barrels or perhaps what they would use for the old Santa v Unicorn barleywine?

    Has anyone else noticed that Pipeworks' distribution footprint shrunk? Or is it just me?

    Haven't noticed much of a difference locally, but I also haven't been in the liquor store much, so its possible. Where abouts are you that you're seeing this? I wonder if it has to do more with the pandemic than anything else?

    Downstate is still getting delivery. Or at least there was some newer, fresh stuff when I was at the store a week ago or so.

    I'm in the city. Some of my regular places (be it Binny's or smaller stores) don't seem to get the latest releases or haven't gotten any new Pipeworks since the Maibock. Granted, this is a pretty small sample, but it got me wondering.

    Your shopping at the wrong stores. I can assure you Pdubs hasn’t shrunk their footprint. If your local shop isn’t carrying pipeworks, that was your shops decision.

    Is it possible they are just disappearing much quicker than before? I know anything remotely desirable is getting scooped up nearly instantly at the few stores I frequent.

    WHY THE FUCK put cherry in it. Every word of that BW description got me hard, and then came the cherry. (This sounds dirtier than I intended).

    Yeah I wasn't the biggest fan of cherry murderous. Think I'll sit this one out.

    I'm a huge fan of Cherry Murderous, so I'll happily take your allocation. :kissing_heart:

    ok, I’m sure this could be attributed to variations in how the bottles have been stored, or just that I should stop aging coffee / coffee beers - I’m going to say Jones Dog 2017 is drinking better than Hyper Dog 2017 right now.

    I’m still pretty happy with the hyper dog.

    Everytime I see a new Pdubs post, I'm hoping it's news about upcoming BA.....not old one's :grinning:

    Anyone had the new and apparently tweaked recipe/batch of S’more Money S’more Problems?

    Not yet, but hoping to find it soon. Did they tweak the recipe again? I thought the first batch of cans was fantastic.
