    Honestly, I used to like it, but not love it. But in the last 2 years, my opinion on sours has gone from a passive enjoyment to an obsession and that nice little tart that the Cherry Stout has is just right with the rest of the flavors in the brew. So I guess I love this beer now, haha.

    Also, am I the only one who thinks this Barrel aging thing is getting out of hand? I like it, but I'm starting to find myself enjoying the non barrel aged beers more.

    I never liked it really. But I have no say in it, other than not paying through the nose on every new fancy beer of the week. its funny wood used to be the only way they had to hold beer, and now they act like its worth more. lol
    crazy how history repeats over and over again. so many in the US think we invited craft beer or it started when WE did it, how funny is that.???

    I have a similar issue with Hill Farmstead. I still don't know why they haven't opened that second location in Brooklyn right by my apartment yet. I mean it's clear that I want it enough

    I think that you are correct about that. havent had BB Exp Stout, but that is the perfect base beer for a barrel.

    I have a suspicion that is in the pipeline. That was the clear winner for the Roll out the Barrel party - incredible stuff.

    Yeah, I mean, I'm cool with the fact that I'm seeing them so much. That way, I can always get them because they're just around more. But overall, I am very rarely in the mood for that boozy beer flavor. I love it, I just don't want it very often.

    Those were completed and full of water about 2.5 weeks ago.

    Cypress wood fermenters from Strohs. Probably will be lined with the modern equivalent of brewer's pitch.
