    I'm hoping for something like 17 but maybe with sucaba as the dominate beer.

    Stickee Monkee
    Parabola
    Helldorado
    Velvet Merkin

    I'll take it, and in that order of dominance too.

    18 was really good, would love to see what the blend on 19 is going to be.

    They haven't used abacus in an anniversary blend since 10.

    firestone anniversary beers are probably the best barrel aged beers ever. I can't wait for 19.

    pretty sure sucaba is a bit of a blend itself.

    As in a blend of other component beers (i.e. Stickee Monkee, Bravo, Rufus, etc.)? That's the first I've ever heard that.

    Yep, already a blend so you'll never see it in Anniversary, though in a way it already is every year...

    They state on the back of the box that it is a blend of different barrel types, but nowhere do they say that the base beers are different (their website gives a single mashbill).

    Where on their insta? I only see that we "gotta wait til Oct. 31st to find out." I don't know if I ever recall them releasing the final-blend details before the release.

    Have enjoyed FW in the past, and have some available here (but have had). Would be nice to see this one here, also more of the bomber series.

    Cheers!

    18 was not my favorite of the three I've had. I'd like it to be more unique and complex, but the last one was too close in resemblance to Parabola IMO. Hopefully 19 is amazing!
