Great Notion

I also tried the Shadow Sequence, a CDA with coconut. It was more roasty and coconutty than IPA-like. Nice beer.

My wife tried Ripe and Juice Jr. And enjoyed them. I didn't try them, though.

 

Not fake news. But old
news. I miss real news. And no
news. Now that's good news.

 

Should be out soon though.

 

Going back to the Fremont discussion...I asked about if the base beer for bbomb was their standard imperial ale. I was informed it was not. I believe @John_M provided an explanation (secondhand?) that base beers need to be altered to get the most out of the barrel and aging. So I am curious for discussion purposes, if GN is just putting their standard Double stack in barrels or if they tweaked it. @paulypringles

 

If that's true, then post the evidence which makes you believe it. Or else it's just abject and unfounded speculation. And we've got more than enough of that in our world already.

Perhaps this beer was previously released months ago (under the radar), or they pulled it, or maybe it is, in fact, forthcoming. Honestly, I don't know. I just wasn't sure why you posted something from 17+ months ago as if it were a scoop, is all. More context, and precision, never hurts.

 

I'll post unfounded speculation all I please.

Cheers.

 

Just to be more clear lol: Great Notion allegedly responded somewhere recently and said it might be out this Spring. I wasn't linked to anything and the place that was said isn't linkable (BTS on Facebook.)

But still a little weirded out by your post Edward; why so serious? People can't speculate here?

 

Anyone else think Unfounded Speculation would be a great beer name?

Just me? Alright then.

 

Better than Unfounded Speculum.

 

Definitely sounds like a Modern Times name...

 

Agreed.

It would also work as a part of Bottle Logic's Stasis Project, next to Fundamental Observation and Backwards Compatibility.

 

And that's how Bottle Logic ends up in the Northwest Forum. #WeDoThingsLikeThat

I've seen a lot of Chad's artwork on the walls at Great Notion. I like his style, and it's a good match for Great Notion. Thumbs up. I am very much looking forward to seeing the label art.

 

Let us know how many you have when they’re upright!

 

Hey guys, Happy Saturday! To answer a few of the questions recently:

• @vurt - yes, that is a cool beer name
• We are starting our new 30 bbl brewhouse off with six 30 bbl fermenters
• Bourbon Barrel-Aged Double Stack will be released either this Spring or Summer. We have at least six Barrels filled with DS, including some Heaven Hill, some Woodford Reserve and a bunch of local Bull run barrels. Some of the beer has been aging more than a year, some 9 mos, some 6 mos, etc. our plan is to blend all the barrels together in a blending tank in our new facility and then bottle it all up. We are still just trying to decide how to release it and if we should wait until the grand opening of our new taproom this summer or not.

That's the detailed update on BBDS exclusively for you NW BA peeps!
