    Hello all,

    I saw one review (MasterSki) mention a bottle being brought to a tasting but I presume that wasn't a production bottle. Has anyone heard of this being bottled? I know some places that do growlers will occassionally do counter-pressure 22oz, etc, did not know of Ballast Point did generally or specifically w/ this or if this was a 'special occasions' barrel.

    Thinking of putting a 2009 Elijah Craig 50/50 up for trade for Gueuze and was wondering if this was something I could reasonably put in an ISO or if it was a big'ol DONG.

    Thanks,

    Lol, sorry I can't help you. I have no idea about the beer but thanks for the good laugh :slight_smile:. For your sake I hope it's not "a big 'ol dong". Good luck!

    Someone from Ballast Point brought it to SF Beer Week. It imagine it would be next to impossible to trade for, unless you do so with someone who works at Ballast Point.

    It was a 22oz with a black-on-white sticker, for reference.

    last time it was around for SD beer week it was DONG. i've asked about bottling their wilds and they said something along the lines of their wasn't enough demand or not being able to keep up with the demand for it.
