    It says barrelworks on their FB. But last I heard this is definitely being distroed.

    It better be distributed. Otherwise, why do the fancy shmancy box?

    It will hit distro, but the initial release is through Barrelworks, not the Paso Robles location.
    And yes, its really good. Had it several times now.

    Confused. I remember Velvet Merkin on tap around SoCal for a couple of years and then they changed the name to Velvet Merlin once they wanted to bottle it and market it. As far as I remember, these were the exact same beer. Seems odd to pull out Velvet Merlin's original name and then market it as a different beer.

    I can't wait until this gets to New Hampshire in like November of 2015. So excited. Firestone: come to Vermont! We have precious few beer options here, we need you. Who else will empty the rest of my wallet?

    Velvet Merlin is their Oatmeal Stout whereas Velvet Merkin is the Barrel Aged Oatmeal Stout.
