I know they release the BA beers when they are ready, but curious if anyone in the know down near CCB has heard if it is getting close. last year they released them i believe thanksgiving week and lasted through february. this beer is phenomenal and cant wait to get some more.
thanks Gunhaver! hopefully there is a ton of it like there was last year. it was one of the first barrel aged beers that gave me thw wow factor of what barrel aging can do to a beer. cant wait to get some when they are released.
I'm sure CCB will release it once someone from a different state posts on the Facebook page requesting them to on a very specific date.
somehow i always manage to miss this. i love big sound, so i need to keep my peepers peeled for this one. what kind of bottle count does this usually have?
Last time it was released it was available in the tasting room for awhile, seriously probably close to a month. And it was on draught for quite some time as well. It was amazing. Sadly, I don't know if it will last as long this go around, but it sure would be nice.
I'm not sure, they always make a shitton of BA Big Sound and it's a regular release that won't have the newness factor going for it. Scotch ales aren't a hot style either.
Marshall Zhukov's sold out in one day at the brewery this past release, when it used to sit on shelves for months. Scotch ales aren't a hot style, sure, but people chased Backwoods Bastard to no end a few months back. If/when BA Big Sound is released again, i expect it will be a shit show that goes very quickly. It's not lasting a month, not even a week or a few days IMO. This is the way beer goes these days.
Zhukov went in a day because of the tiny batch and all the traders with Catador discounts stocking up to send out boxes. Brown had Backwoods available to order for several weeks, and I expect BA Big Sound to also stick around for several weeks, especially since it'll likely be 20 bucks for 650ml as opposed to Backwoods 15 bucks for a four-pack.
