2014 Backwoods

I didn't think Wulver was near as good as backwoods. I still have 3 wulver left in my fridge to try but given the choice backwoods would be the one I grab. Way more bourbon flavor in the backwoods...

 

Ahhhhh I love how subjective taste can be (seriously)! I would literally call it the exact opposite, putting Wulver ahead of BB. To each his own!

 

Around these parts, Wulver is a shelf turd at 10$ a bottle

VS

Backwoods Bastard is gods gift to beer at 11$ a 4 pack.

 

I've had 1st and 2nd bottle releases of Wulver - $24/ 4pk. (Not sure of the exact dates but i do believe there were to seperate releases that hit distribution) Wulver #1 was jaw dropping amazing. Release #2 was good but the barrel blend was too hot and did not stand out to me as the first did.

That being said, Backwoods was my first BA love and is one of my favorite beers of all time. But it is not up to snuff with the very first Wulver release.

 

Lets hope it's not a huge increase in price.. I'll certainly buy less. It's a favorite of mine, however, so I know atleast 4-4packs usually find their way into my house.

Wulver is good as well, I like FBB fresh the best, Wulver is much nicer aged than Backwoods, and.. I have a 2012 BA Big Sound and a 2014 BA Big Sound to compare to them all.

I could do a 4 bottles test, of various vintages as well.

 

Can't wait. Anyone else remember Sappy Slappy Bastard? That shit was great!

 

Wow , it was like 12 bucks a four pack here last year , thats a pretty good jump in price

 

I've got a Block 15 Belmont Station Anniversary BA Scotch Ale; let's have ourselves a party!

 

Looking forward to this regardless of price. It's a great beer and we see a good amount of it around here going on past experience.

 

Anyone see this one in Chicago area yet? Any ETA?

 

It's usually around late October/early November here, so around then.

 

Backwoods > CS Ride the Lion

 

Thanks!! Was worried I somehow missed it! Awesome stuff.

 

Ah, the good old days of Founders.

 

its in ny now

 

even though its not seasonal like BB, Pappy Van Muckle from SUNKING is the king of BA Scotch ales! IMO

 

I'm curious as to how places are getting it, even as far south as SC, when Founders maintains its a Nov 3 release. Us poor saps in ATL still haven't seen Harvest. Does this mean we are behind the curve for BWB too?

Whoa is me!

 

Curious about this as well... I'm thinking some distributors and shops are messing up here. Always fun seeing cities halfway across the country get releases before those that live a couple hours from the brewery do. Regardless, I'll be driving out to Founders to get a couple cases at their scheduled release. One of my favorite releases of the year, and some top notch cellar stock.

 

Really I would of had no idea, I thought that was gandalf as your profile picture .

Delicious, just drank this last weekend after sitting in my fridge for some time. Apparently great timing

 

Honestly, I'm a little sad when I go to the bar and only see like one or two pub only brews. I swear that back in the day, and maybe it's my memory being completely flawed, they had all sorts of crazy shit on tap. I'm hoping that these expansions give them more room to have more one off taps.
