    VOODOO BREWERY BARREL ROOM COLLECTION IV

    "The employee owners of Voodoo Brewery are very pleased to announce today that we have scheduled our fourth Barrel Room Collection Release for Saturday March 26, 2016 with bottle pre-sales beginning today, Monday February 29, 2016 at both of our pub locations in Meadville and Homestead. Curt has been working hard since the last release to bring you 5 brand new beers to add to our collection, all aged 14+ months in the barrel. They are as follows:

    Gran Met aged in Apple Brandy Barrels (22oz x 2 for first 106, 22oz x 1 for last 241)- Our third iteration of this beer, this special batch of Belgian tripel has been tucked away in the back of the barrel room for nearly 3 years. During its 33 month repose, this beer has gained massive apple brandy and oak overtones, truly blurring the lines of beer and spirit.

    Quadfather aged in Cabernet Sauvignon Barrels (22oz x 2)- Seeing barrel treatment for the first time, our Belgian quadruple was aged in French oak California Cabernet Sauvignon barrels yielding a highly quaffable beer rich in vinous character.

    Chocolate Covered Cherry Big Black Voodoo Daddy aged in Bourbon Barrels (22oz x 2)- This batch of Big Black was split and aged in two carefully selected varieties of bourbon barrels hand picked for the chocolate, vanilla and coconut flavors they impart with extended aging, along with Madagascar vanilla beans and Ghanaian cocoa nibs. Once removed from the barrel, fresh Michigan tart cherries were added resulting in a well balanced stout with notes of vanilla, chocolate, cherry, oak and bourbon.

    Black Magick aged in Rye Whiskey Barrels (12oz x 4)- After a 3 year hiatus, our highly coveted award winning Russian imperial stout makes its triumphant return, this time after a lengthy slumber in rye whiskey barrels

    ManBearPig (12oz x 2)- Curt came up with this crazy idea over 5 years ago and now, 3 years in the making, is finally ready for your enjoyment. He first started by seeking out the finest local honey and maple syrup and aged it in freshly emptied bourbon barrels for over a year. Then he brewed the biggest beer we've ever made, a robust imperial stout with house apple wood and hickory smoked Munich malt, and aged it in the barrels that previously held bourbon, maple syrup and honey. The result is a truly complex work of liquid art designed to be savored."

    Did they say anything about pricing? Might have to preorder a few bottles

    Edit: Here's what they say on facebook

    We have a total of 106 full allotments available, sold as a full 12 bottle set at $206 which includes 2 bottles each of ManBearPig, Chocolate Covered Cherry Big Black Voodoo Daddy aged in Bourbon Barrels, Gran Met aged in Apple Brandy Barrels, Quadfather aged in Cabernet Sauvignon Barrles and 4 bottles Black Magick aged in Rye Whiskey Barrels. We have 241 partial allotments, which are identical to the full allotment except they include only one bottle of Gran Met aged in Apple Brandy Barrels instead of two, and are also sold as a full 11 bottle set at $186 only. The 106 full allotments will be sold to the first 106 sign ups, regardless of location. Once those have been sold, we will sell the remaining 241 partial allotments. We will only take as many sign ups as we have allotments, there will not be a waiting list of any sort. A valid drivers license or government issued identification card is required to sign up. You must physically be here in person with your valid ID to sign up- your friend can't bring IDs for 5 friends and sign you all up. No exceptions. Full payment is required to sign up, cash and credit cards are accepted. When bottles are released on 3.26.16, each person will again need to physically show up in person with your ID to claim your bottles. All bottles must be picked up by Sunday 4.10.16. The person who signed up in person must also pick up in person, no exceptions. We hope we have made how this process will work very clear. If, after reviewing this information, you still have questions, please email [email protected] ONLY. As you can imagine, this is a very busy time for us, so please, do not call either of the pubs or send facebook messages. We will keep our facebook page updated in terms of where we are with sign up numbers throughout the day. To help celebrate the occasion, both locations will also be tapping a keg of Grande Negro Voodoo Papi aged in Bourbon Barrels TODAY! More details to follow about the release parties at both locations on 3.26.16! Meadville opens at 3, Homestead at 4!

    Apparently they're all gone already. I wouldn't have had enough money (or justification) for an allotment of that much beer anyway

    Never mind all the full ones were gone, they might actually have some partial left

    This release format really bums me out. I live three miles from the brewery but I can't justify spending $200 in one shot. Would love to get my hands on the Apple brandy Gran met and man bear pig. I'm sure they'll do some kegs at the brewery though

    Can't take a 12 hour plus R/T to pay and then again to pick up. I will just stick with the regular big black in 12oz now. Would love to try this one BA but too far away

    Enjoy

    These sound great, but this probably goes in the regional forum?

    It was in our forum the minute they released info. Agreed, there was no need to make a separate one entirely.

    I dunno. It's a pretty big barrel aged release to the general public that loves BA beers and plenty will probably be seeking it out I'm sure. Not many people probably look into other regions. I think if we can have a post for Goose Island Pilsner in the "release" section, there's nothing wrong with highlighting something that is much more unique and a rare occasion

    @evilcatfish is correct, it belongs in the regional forum.

    If we start posting every small level, regional/brewery only release in this forum, it will quickly become congested. There are a lot of these unique and rare occasions happening all over, all the time.

    After gnvp release I can't understand any release that has a stout in it by voodoo in barrels that doesn't sell out 1st day! They are for real and if you haven't had any from them yet seek them out!

    It's not a matter of selling out in a day. The Meadville pub was only open for 5 hours on Mon, 5 Hours yesterday (10 total hour) Homestead open 6 hours Mon, 6 hours Tuesday (12 Total Hours). They only have 3 left today. So between the two locations these have only been available for 12 hours. Short notice. Cost. I'd say that'd pretty damn fast for a Noon Facebook post selling $200 worth of beer with sign ups in person only.

    i'd imagine the beer nerd population density near either location isn't exactly "dense" either.... they still sold out of this stuff fast.... i think some just think that all locations are the same. If this release happened within say 1 hr of philly instead of 6 it would have been gone in 10 seconds
