    Given the high demand for black note and personally having enjoyed their raspberry wild one as much as the best raspberry sours of the US, I think they need to get serious about expanding their barrel-aging program. Goose Island, Firestone Walker, New Belgium, Deschutes, are all doing major things in that department. Step it up Bells! Oh, and Founders this means you too.

    LOL, I can understand you want more great beer. I get it. I doubt they will do it Just for you. But you knew that.

    I have no criticism of Bell's. They are great and should keep doing what they do. Cherry Stout is back in stores and I killed one last night and, suffice to say, I have no complaints about this brewery.

    Also, that beer is criminally underrated on BA.

    Naw, they should expand their distribution, at least into MA, first

    I'll bet they've never thought of this. You should get in touch with them and tell...oh, wait. You have already done that by coming on BeerAdvocate and posting this.

    Bells = Founders. Nice.

    Agreed more people need to complain to Bells and Founders both. I'd love to see Founders sacrifice Backwoods to make a cherry BA beer as a seasonal instead.

    Rest assured - Laura was waiting for a post like this to come across Beer Advocate before officially launching the expansion.

    What you really want is BB Expedition Stout.. It will make you forget all about Black Note.

    They should scrap the barrel program all together. Let others who do it better take care of us. I mean, am I right?

    Why does everything have to be barrel aged? Personally, I'm starting to get a little tired of barrel aging; I'm pretty much over it for now.

    THIS JUST IN..

    After the Barrel program expansion was kicked off due to a BA Post, it as been subsequently scrapped hours later due advocates being over BA beers.

    I would like it if Bell's would only distribute to California soon.
