Toppling Goliath collaboration with Binny's Beverage Depot

For anyone that does not want to read - it only says that it is a collab, and that it will be (shocker!) a BA stout packaged in (shocker!) 22oz bottles.

 

You forgot the kick ass name. Barrel slayer with 2 snakes

 

And what’s the msrp, $40?

 

Not KBBS?

 

So what part in this collab did Binny’s play? Do they pay for the right to be an exclusive retailer? Old Hickory’s Lindley Park was a Bestway collab, but it was available most everywhere here, so what was in it I don’t have a clue. Roger was friends with the Old Hickory crew so perhaps this is different or maybe not.

 

I’d assume they are providing the barrels - probably from “handpicked” barrels of a particular whiskey that ended up being bottled as a “whiskey_name Storepick”.

 

Binnys supplies the barrels. If you read the label posted it appears like no adjuncts. States that it’s a chocolate fudge brownie taste with barrel too it

 

What are you basing that assumption on?

Because that sounds like bs to me. They've saved up all the "Binny's picks" barrels for years and then sent them to TG? You do know they need to be refilled asap to stay usable right?

Binny's doesn't do nearly enough store picks to make that possible / reasonable.


EDIT: unless it's like 3 bourbon barrels and this is super limited. MAYBE if this is a tiny release that is possible.

EDIT2: and this being Toppling Hypeliath, maybe that is what they are trying to do. Giving lots of people a chance to try and objectively rate their beers, is millions of miles away from their apparent "game plan" Apologies I sounded like a d!ck.

Binnys supplied the barrels. Calm down about TG they produce solid ass stouts. I’ll be interested in where they release it, but if I miss out could care less focused on the KBBS and bottle logic release (my speculation)

 

I read this all the way through, and it was quite amusing to see the edits. No worries .

BTW, if you are not aware, this is how The Wine and Cheese Place gets their SP allocation of BA beers. I mean, it exclusively, but they get a portion of any BA beer made by SP that went into a barrel they received from TWCP.

 

I sure do. How many 'store barrels' of Bourbon do you think they sell per year? Hundreds? I don't think so. I just looked it up and while they have more locations than I thought they did, they still aren't selling through barrels that quickly nor are they even offered that many from the major distilleries.

Like I said, if they are filling and emptying let's say 12 bourbon barrels, that's not very much. Do we need a thread in Beer News & Releases every times someone fills ? And I quote: "Not for region specific items"

Haha had a couple beers. Do we need a thread in Beer News & Releases for every SP beer? That 's a collaboration with TWCP and brewery only (or that store only)? I don't think so.


My point was that this is Regional Specific Item, and there's no chance they have enough bourbon barrels, that have been sold by Binny's, to make it a release worthy pf BN&R. If that was worded poorly, apologies.

 

Hey man, don't be salty you can't have this, you guys get good beers over there, too.

 

Your logic is quite reasonable above but neglects a few possibilities. For example, we do not have direct access to the number of fresh used barrels they themselves empty. Second we do not have access to knowing that they did not make a special purchase of fresh barrels especially for this type of event. Sometimes folks do plan well in advance for things such as this.

BTW, In the event you consider a thread inappropriate you might find it more effective and less stressful results in the long run if you simply report the thread and lets the mods take care of it. I can assure that there are reasons to believe they do it and fairly quickly. Then you can relax, move on, and not have any concern or stress.

Cheers!

 

This is very interesting to learn that the retail business they operate is so wide spread and doing so well. (We don't have them around here.) I don't really see how they could or would afford to do that themselves without a high volume of sales. (Lots of facilities, inventorying, skilled job hires, etc.) If they couldn't afford it and make a profit they'd source it from someone else. (Makes me wish I'd bought some of their stock back in the day--assuming they have shares on the market.)

 

I'm looking for clarification. Binny's never actually takes possession of any barrels, after tasting they just select the ones they like at the distiller's barrel house and then the contents eventually wind up in a bottle with some sort of "selected by Binnys" verbiage on it. Right? BInny's isn't emptying barrels into bottles in the back of their store....
