Bells should increase barrel program, like NOW

I only do that when i pass out.

 

Over the summer they seemed to have Wild One everyday at the Cafe. It made me wonder why they wouldn't have used some of that and made 12oz four packs. Would have been nice.

 

Just wondering but Bell's doesn't have gypsum caves like Founders do they?

 

Bell's has expanded and continues to expand their barrel program. Those of us in and around Kalamazoo are enjoying it quite a bit. You really ought to come up and visit, making the trip to taste the beers sure beats complaining about not getting them on the internet.

 

I think those caves are available for rent to other breweries, although I don't know how much space is there. I'm pretty sure that Arcadia ages their Shipwreck Porter in the same caves that Founders uses. When I've toured Bell's brewing facility in Galesburg I saw barrels in racks, so it looks like Bell's must keep their aging beers on site.

 

Oh yeah I feel really bad for you guys in California.




(just teasing by the way. no one get butthurt)

 

In less that 2 weeks a local bar is having a Bells tap takeover. It will be the seventh time this year I have had Black note on tap. It is like I died and went to heaven.

 

That's probably not too far off. I have a hard time drinking more than 1. It is good though.

 

Found a video on mLive of people touring Founders cave. Seems that a big benefit is aging at cellar temps. So am I to assume Bell's isn't able to age and cellar temps? Cuz that kinda sucks, even though I'm not too sure that it makes a noticeable difference.

 

They're doing something right, cave or no cave.

 

Bell's is currently building a new brewery/brand in the Upper Peninsula. Groundbreaking was less than a month ago and they haven't even poured concrete, but I'm upset that they don't have giant barrels on the property yet. Priorities!?!?!?!? (Kidding of course and very much looking forward to Upper Hand!)

 

The Bourbon barrel beers are at Galesburg, the sours are at the original brewery.

 

I would personally like y'all to deliver your entire wonderful lineup to my front door. The fact that you don't distribute to Texas (yet) is besides the point. I'll e-mail you with the address. Thank you so much for responding to your customers needs.

BTW: One good thing about visiting my brother in Florida is I get to enjoy Two hearted Ale again.

 

I know it's not too bad for us here in the bay area, definitely have access to some great beers. But don't you always desire most what you can't have ?

 

what

 

I've always wanted to try straight up BA Expedition! I bet it's a killer.

 

Black Note is 10x better, there's a reason Bells bottles that instead of BB Expedition.

 

Sacrifice Backwoods??!! um, NO! That's a terrible idea, especially for a cherry BA beer. I hope you're being sarcastic
