    I couldn't make it, but to those who did, what did they have on tap? Did I miss out on anything amazing?

    They had some pretty great beers (at least for Two Brothers). Hop Juice Black, Askew, 2002 Bare Tree, BA Heavy Handed (really good), White Rye aka Pillar of Salt (also really good), and their 10th anniversary Lambic (meh).

    Would go:
    BA Heavy Handed
    White Rye
    Askew
    Hop Juice Black
    2002 Bare Tree
    10th Anniversary

    When you say BA is that just aged in one of the oak founders or something else?

    Handle said Oak Aged, but they said it was aged in Whiskey barrels and it did have that taste. Was somewhat of a BA barleywine to me.

    Sounds tasty. And hopefully this means two bros changed their thinking on doing whiskey ba beers.

    Mmmmm Askew... how did Hop Juice Black hold up with time on it? I love it fresh but tend to end up drinking it all before it ages....

    Its about time. I'm so close to Two Brothers and thoroughly enjoy their everyday offerings but they have yet to blow me away with any of their special releases.

    Hop Juice Black was good! It drank more like a hoppy porter/stout.
    I agree BA Heavy Handed was impressive.
