Exhibit 'A' Brewing Company

I thought it was delicious on tap.

 

Is this bad larry coming in cans?

 

Bottles. Looks like a small run of 300 bottles. It’s being sold at the brewery, so prob not enough for distro. It would be nice to see more barrel aged beers from these guys. I know Lamplighters said they will be releasing Barrel aged beers in the future.

 

nothing like a BBA barleywine to kick off the summer.

 

I prefer bourbon barrel-aged stouts for the Fourth of July personally.

 

I live in a world with temperature controlled environments and storage capabilities. I'm fine with any beer released at any time.

 

Now I need to get central air just to enjoy a beer!? Brewers are real assholes these days.

 

You'd be terrible at marketing. Or would you be amazing at it? Hmm...

And avoid the beach, or pools, or the outdoors in general...

 

I just can't wrap my head around seasonal drinking patterns and complaining about any release based on the weather. People have access to refrigeration and ability to hold onto beer . Pull a stout from the fridge when you want one, drink a hefe or pils whenever.

 

Beach Bum Bourbon Barleywine. The ISO acronym writes itself. Honestly I'll take a BA barleywine release in the summer all day over another fruited blonde, American wheat, or IPA.

 

I can understand people not giving a shit about seasonal drinking patterns. But you can't understand someone enjoying a crisp Pils on a warm summer day, or a high ABV imperial stout in the dead of winter?

Or a Kolsch, or a Pils.

But Exhibit A already has a nice Kolsch covered.

 

I can't wrap my head around taking everything so seriously. It was a joke bro. Chill (in your perfect temperature controlled environment).

 

Both of my responses were light hearted comments. If you didnt read my response as chill I question your understanding of the word.

All I was saying is save the barleywine for whenever you deem appropriate, and have whatever other beer you want in the meantime. A little creativity in style releases during the year is a good thing.

 

Sure I can. It's the claiming a release as not being appropriate for the time of year that I don't get. Plenty of summertime lighter beers out there that a BBA barleywine release is unique and more interesting.

 

Sunday Paper is an awesome beer

 

cat's meow has been great lately. Agree that the carb is much improved. Mosaic has grown on me in the past year or so (originally hated it and found it had a metallic taste), so maybe it's my own palate playing a roll. I still find it decidedly more bitter than most other NEIPAs which I like. Really well done beer.

 

Exhibit A is killing it. Cats Meow may be my favorite beer right now.
