    Link to the HA 2023 thread.

    From the January HA email:

    January 10: Barrel Aged Stout Sale
    Twin Chariot 14.8% ABV
    Imperial Stout Aged in Bourbon and Peach Brandy Barrels with Vanilla


    The base stout, comprising three-quarters of Twin Chariot, was aged 2 years in bourbon barrels then blended with a younger stout aged in peach brandy barrels. Next, the blended stout was infused with whole pods of Madagascar Vanilla to add rich dessert qualities to the boozy barrel character.

    Online sale info:
    Wed Jan 10 at 12pm CT on Oznr
    Sold as 2-pack of 12oz cans
    $24.99 plus taxes & fees
    Limit 3 x 2-packs per order
    Proxies are allowed

    Lot of other info in the email too, but in the spirit of Food Advocate, looks like a new menu is coming in a few weeks. Maybe we'll get some burritos back...

    Not going to lie, their recent food has gotten better. Who from HA here is finally listening to me? Just bring back that good burger and I'll be returning often this winter.

    This is the year I finally get some cans of Catch Hell. I can feel it

    If the pattern remains the same, it might be a Double Barrel Catch Hell year, no? Should find out in a few weeks anyway.

    They just released the latest batch in September '23. So perhaps triple barrel is in the works for some time this year.

    Good spot. I forgot about that. They had done the Catch Hell, 2x and 3x with the Feb-ish releases prior to that I think, hence my likely inaccurate thought.

    Twin Chariot lasted about 10 mins.

    Description just didn’t do it for me on this one, so may try on tap if they have it on. Interested to see reviews.

    The new menu at Half Acre is improved. I had the pork shank and it was FANTASTIC. The lumpia is full-time now & there's other fun Filipino dishes on. I look forward to stopping by more often!

    Snow Melt is quintessential Half Acre IPA.
    Lager yeast, but I doubt anyone would notice or care.

    Given the current winter storm warnings you can be forgiven for projecting our feelings onto the beer name as no one wants a Slow Melt.

    I would agree. I just put down two quite easily. That Twin Chariot is very unique and pretty damn tasty too. It appears I like peach brandy barrels.
