Barrier Brewing Co. (2019)

Rembrant in cans for the win

 

I know someone who’s gonna be really happy....(besides me, of course).

 

While I'm bored to death of Barrier's IPAs (if they are all going to taste the same at least give us some galaxy hops), the new pricing structure and OG stout/porters being available in cans has me really excited.

 

Don’t sleep on this Barleywine (in cans!!). It is really, really good and I suspect it will age well.

More of an English BW which I’m all about.

 

Which barleywine?

 

The one they released today with Camridge Brewing. Its called Community Over Commodity. Very good.

 

I love a nice old school BW, thanks for the heads up. I haven’t seen anything about this one yet.

 

Yea I just saw the announcement about 3 hours ago. I love barleywines, especially english style. The only other BW Barrier did, Archibald, was so stellar that I had a good feeling.

Additionally, while I am not crazy on milkshake IPAs or anything with lactose, the Mango kicking knowledge is basically a tropical smoothie in a glass. Wouldnt mind having one or two on the beach in a few months.

 

Can, bottle, or keg?

 

I just saw it was on the Mango Milkshake IG post. Like Derek Zoolander, I couldn’t swipe left.

 

4-pack cans $20. 10.8%. What a steal. Never seen a BW in cans before.

 

Czig Meister just released one. Pretty good. Kane will hopefully release Vengeful Heart in cans again soon. Love that one. There’s one at the store (don’t remember the brewery) in 16 oz singles I’ve seen around. That was good too. I wish more places made them.

 

The only one in a can I can think of was a barrel-aged BW made by Rushing Duck and Newburgh and that was amazing.

 

Dropping BBHCFM tomorrow in cans! I never thought I’d see them brew this one again. Best black ale I’ve ever had. Stoked.

 

No fucking way!!

 

Do most of their cans see distro now? I’ve seen more of their stuff recently.

 

I got my mule going tomorrow for a 4 of the BBHCFM and the barleywine. Thanks for the heads up @BoardwalkBock

3-day weekend just got a little better.

 

I’d say like 85-90% of their stuff (especially their IPAs) reach distro, they do keep a few cans brewery only.

 

I’m wondering if these new ones here will. Sound good.
