Bourbon County Tasting Planning Thread (Nov. 27-29)

I'm in, we've got 7 bottles. I was saving them for a bottle share, hoping to get Jewel lotto or Open Bottle sale on Saturday.

 

Roll Tide to you brother!! Pissed we didn’t get to crush LSU last weekend, hopefully it will get rescheduled.

 

There is a 2016 BCBS, 2017 BCBS, & 2017 Barleywine that have been lingering around in my cellar (basement) for way too long. Count me in!

 

Will there be a prize for oldest vintage?

 

Can I troll with a ba dark star?

 

Damn, I wish I had some 2013 Backyard Rye. But I plan to pick up as much '20 as I can afford. I gotta start drinking my stock too.

 

'14 BCBS is the oldest I have...one left. Not planning on opening that one though. I just drank a '14 a few weeks ago...was quite good.

I'm planning on drinking a '15 non-infected date BCBS and seeing how those are holding up.

I don't have any more variants of any years...all just regulars.

 

I’ve got a handful of ‘12 BCBS that I’ve been wanting to crack. Might even have an OG rare that needs to be tested using the scientific method of tasting. Count me in!

 

I found out last night I won a chance to buy all 7 of this year’s on the 29th, so I’ll have one of those that night. I have a 16-19 regular vertical and a couple variants for the other days.

Oldest I ever drank was a 2008 the night the Cubs won the World Series, and nothing I have is older than 16, so I’m out of the “oldest vintage” contest. My personal favorite overall was the 14 Vanilla.

Good luck in the hunt to all!

 

Saw 7 cases today at the beer guy. Looks like 6 different beers. Did not ask prices. There was carmela ale, fog stout, special stout, green box and maroon box that said brand stout and two darker brown boxes.looks like all but Prop. Guessing the darker boxes are regular BCBS. Maroon is birthday and green is anniversary.

For any locals this was seen at Frosty caps on 611.


Got logged in, here is the photo, I took it through the door so it’s not the best.



Enjoy

 

Crazy....I live less than 20 minutes from there and have never heard of the place. I've got a 16-19 vertical of regular, 2017 Barleywine, and 2018 Regal Rye, Midnight Orange, Coffee Barleywine, and Vanilla.

 

You’ll have a helluva thanksgiving
I expect reviews of all those on my desk my Monday.

 

I'll get right on it boss!

 

They are pretty good guys and the selection is decent. Prices are around the same as most spots. Bigtop is just around the way, bigger but I lost interest since the place was sold last year. I really liked the old ownership and I stopped seeing most of the old staff too.

Enjoy

 

My dads house store still has variants from last year so Its going to be easy to get some.

 

I have to avoid big high-ABV beers now, so have to spread it across a day - but I'm in

 

I got a variant last weekend while I was shopping, so some stores are selling the stuff early.

I'm definitely a go for the tasting in any event.
