    I sit here drinking an Oberon and I noticed that its batch 11,900. At the rate Bell's is going shouldn't batch 12,000 hit really soon? What do you think they'll have in store?

    I remember hearing that This One Goes to 11 Ale was the last of the series, but I haven't been following..

    My recollection was that Batch 10k was the last of the "Batch XXk" series. With the "This one goes" release my impression was that they'd still do one of releases every 1000 batches, but would have unique names.

    Bells is Zzz. I hope they're done. Easily most over-rated brewery in Michigan.

    Srs!? Here we go again!

    This drives me nuts when some Michigan craft beer drinkers feel entitled and bitch about Bells and Founders...the 2 breweries that put our state on the craft beer map 10+ years ago.

    I read this...I tried to ignore it...but I'm sitting here at my desk stewing about it.

    At this point you've just walked in to the theater and yelled "FIRE".

    You got me man, I took the bait, but now you need to explain yourself. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I need some details here.

    Possible explanations (choose 1):
    1. Trolling
    2. Complete ignorance

    My money's on #1, but would anyone be surprised if it's 2?

    It can be both...but if he's going to troll I at least want him to make his case.

    I did the Bell's tour after coming back from the KBS release party and they had a baltic porter aging in rum barrels.

    Interesting. Block 15 is doing this same barrel treatment of a baltic porter but with an addition of toasted coconut.

    Yeah I know, Wild One (and Raspberry), Black Note, BA Batch 9k, BA Cherry Stout, The Oracle and This One Goes to 11 were sooooooo awful and overhyped in the past year. :rolling_eyes:

    Did anyone take the time to toss 12,000 into the batch finder? I know 11,000 just wouldn't show up until just before they released that beautiful Nugget Nectar killer...My first intro to Mosaic Hops, and I like them.
    Volume wise, a thousand batches of beer now, is amazingly larger than a thousand batches even five years ago.
