Barrel aged beers?

Rare.

 

Bourbon Barrel Blue Moon.

 

mellowmark's private reserve. Unfortunately you can only consume at the brewery.

 

Lost Abbey Deliverance was released about a month ago.

 

Revolution Very Mad Cow (milk stout) and Straightjacket (Barley wine), both are great but pricey $18.99 a bomber at Binny's in Chicago.

 

Very Mad Cow worth the $20 ?

 

They're putting beer in BARRELS now? Stop the presses!

...

Speedway Barrel Aged Speedway Stout was just released for online sales.

 

I think so. I had one a few months back so it might be different now, but I thought the bourbon barrel character was probably one of the most forward I had ever tasted. Not at all subtle or muddled or quite. Boom! Really clearly defined potent bourbon soaring over a pretty good sweet stout base. Definitely one to try if you like a good dose of bourbon flavor.

 

I really enjoy it. Woodford Reserve is one of my favorite whiskey's and that's what they use.

 

Personally I don't enjoy buying bombers that are over $10, but I did enjoy it very much. Try it on tap if you can (Brixie's in Brookfield carries it from time to time) that way you won't have to spend $20 for a bomber. Or split a bottle with a buddy. It's a great beer and worth a try.

 

they are cheaper at the kedzie tap room if/when they have them, fyi.

 

IMO, all of the revolution BA beers are worth the $20. i especially like the 3rd year beer. their barrel program is top knotch. of course, if you can find some Central Waters barrel stuff, i would go with that over the revolution.

 

where is it for sale?

 

Thanks for the heads up dude, if I'm in that hood I'll check it out!

 

NP. There bottle release events are pretty stand out... I felt like I was robbing someone at the 3rd year party.

are you close to the border, btw? for NG stuff?

 

BA Speedway was sold today.

It's gone already, and you have to be local to buy it online.
