Does Indeed change the recipe for Stir Crazy every year?

    See title...

    Just wondering, since there are 5 different "stir crazies" listed on BA (2 shown as retired).

    The listing that doesn't have the generic BA bottle picture shows a bomber. This year's is in cans, at least at one of my local stores.

    ANYWAY, I was just wondering. This year's says "brewed with cacao nibs, vanilla, raisins, brown sugar, and natural flavors." Is that the same as previous years?

    I picked up a six pack, and it is a tasty beer.

    I can't be sure, but I sounds like the same as last year.

    Maybe the others are what they do with it in cask on a regular basis? I know I had a sample of it last year in a cask on maple syrup and habanero.

    They talked about this a bit on the tour that I was on a couple weeks back. I believe this is the 3rd year that they have produced this beer. They made a big change from year 1 to year 2 on the recipe, adding in cacao nibs and vanilla. I believe they said the recipe this year (year 3) was pretty similar to year 2, with a few minor tweaks.

    I really enjoy this beer too and it is fun to try the different variations they do as casks

    Yes I was thinking the same thing. This year is more of a milk or oatmeal stout thing going on. Like it WAY better.

    This is definitely different than last year and the year before. This is absolutely amazing beer, blows the terribly overrated Founders Breakfast Stout, Buffalo Sweat and others in this category away. You can actually taste the cacao nibs, vanilla etc here unlike the others which are just lame, flat and empty adjectives.
