    Is it bypassing Alexandria?

    So nice to be able to get Great Raft on tap, while I am not a fan of Southern Drawl I love everything else from Great Raft. So glad it is available in Baton Rouge now

    Well, has anybody tried the new born in a barn? I figured someone would've added it already. I wanted to swing by, but work frowns upon drinking beer before your shifts starts

    Good call yeti. Finished off my last grace and grit tonight. Looking forward to born in a barn. It's my favorite of great raft.

    Former S'port resident living in Dallas. Want to try the Grace and Grit. Tried to scan the GR website and this thread to determine if it is occasionally brewed or constantly available. If occasional, anyone know when next brewing is? I am trying to plan a trip over to visit my parents and a delicious, fresh DIPA might make it more enjoyable.

    Born in Barn IV is tasting great. Nice tartness, bright fruit and low abv. Summer's last breath of sorts...We racked some to some Pinot bbls and pitched some brett as well. Should be fun.

    We have DIPA bottles in the tasting room now that is still holding on nicely. We plan to brew it again soon so its ready for our 2yr Anniversary party in Oct.

    I have been at Avenue Pub this weekend and was told that there were some other barrel versions besides the pappy that had been there of the BBA OMJ. Will these be released in the taproom soon?

    Depends on a few things but yeah we have some Old Mad Joy in PVW and Heaven Hill barrels. No release day planned just yet. Thinking early next year though.

    Brewery only. Each version is brewed with diverging different. This batch was brewed with apricots.
