Flossmoor Barrel Aged Pullman Reserve

How cool is it that the first 15 got a bottle of Wooden Hell?!?!

Glad I brought my Mom!!!

 

Dude- I'm #156 in line, I hope I get some bottles...I heard they gave out a case of wooden hell to the first 12 in line.

 

Funny (possibly sad) side note - they wanted everyone to line up at 10am like HiFi Rye, I showed up at 9:30 and there was 5 people standing outside. I sat in my car and walked in at 10am, I was number 16. Going back in an hour to pick-up my goodies and have a couple pints. Wish I was in Central Waters but this is a decent consolation prize. If anyone wants one to trade for somethin from central waters let me know because I dont plan on getting my max limit.

 

Line cutter.

 

Trolling like a MoTroll

 

Enjoying some beers now.

Has a real old school Flossmoor release vibe. A lot of the old guard.. and not any riff raff

 

Thats cause Im not there.

 

If you were here, I'd finally buy you that beer.

Regardless, its really chill here.. me and the wife walked in about 1030 and had tickets 40 and 41 (think first 120 are guaranteed).

So by all means, anyone who wants the beer should swing by.

This beer has won some pretty big awards (Bronze at GABF or WBC, I Can't remember) within the last couple years

 

I had it at the 2012 CBS Brewpub Shoot-out and really enjoyed it. I suggest everyone who can get down there, does, and grab some.

 

YA, it did win gold at FOBAB a couple years ago didn't it. It was a pinch thin I thought then, I'm sure this is a new batch. Dying to try it now, see you knuckleheads in 15 minutes

 

How's this shaping up, or can i still grab bottles?

 

Its not blended.. so It can be inconsistent and ovrrbarreled. But, batches that are "on" are indeed ON.

Feel like a bottle needs to be opened immediately as its not on tap

 

Is this on tap ?

 

Sadly, no.

Many people were opening bottles right after they bought them to gauge how it's doing.

We had to leave quickly (a BDay party and a night out later).. but it seemed the smart thing to do.

Regardless, there is a really healthy taplist on right now including 2 sours/wilds, a new IIPA, an oaked Barleywine, a barrel aged wheatwine, and more.

 

Thanks for the quick response looks like a solid tap list looks like I might as well mosey up there.
