Haymarket Brewery

What barrel treatment?

 

Templeton Rye for 7 months.

 

I have enjoyed all batches of Indignant more than Black Note anyway. Never understood the hype.

 

Once they switched Indignant to Templeton Rye Wiskey it got much better. Not sure what bourbon they used before but it's insanely good now. Hopefully still on tap next week when I show up

 

I believe the first batch was Woodford Reserve barrels.

 

That batch wasn't nearly as smooth as it is now IMO. I love what Haymarket is doing right now! Thanks for the info too

 

Yes, Woodford Reserve.

 

black note was pretty decent, i expected a little more actually. but i'm glad i got to try it. double dip. thanks for the heads up. i guess i missed you mjmoser, i was in and out after bridge bar at haymarket. picked up a growler from the back and left.

 

Me too. Htting on all cylinders...

No doubt. Black Note was an average brew. Perfect example of rarity causing hype when there was was nothing extraordinary. I would never turn Black Note down, but on a seconds notice I could name at least 20 better brews, probably more. Frankly, you ruin Expedition by blending it with Double Cream. A barrel isn't going to make up for that...

Same here. BA Indignant is clearly a much better brew.

Agreed. Pete does nice work with BA brews, but also with such a large variety of styles...

 

Thanks for posting this! Stopped by Three Aces for a couple glasses of BCBS, then to Haymarket for this delicious brew. Picked up 2 growlers it was so damn good.

 

I don't understand how Templeton Rye barrels would be good for any beer. That whiskey sucks, and it is a prime example of the hype train in the whiskey world. My .02 cents.

 

Way too much confusion (and outright deception) when I tried to find out exactly what was in the bottles of this rye. Not going to buy it.

 

I've never had the whiskey but the difference it made after trying indignant with the woodford reserve barrels (never had woodford reserve either) is undeniable.

 

From the research that I've done, it comes from the same Distillery in Indiana as Seagrams...lets leave it at that.
They are "allowed" to call it Iowa Whiskey because it is in fact bottled in Iowa...bunch of smoke and mirrors there.

 

I personally think it should be two different beers. I had Indignent in November the night of FoBAB and it was amazing...and I also took a $41 growler of it home!! But if they aged a new batch in rye whiskey barrels...it should have a different name as it was aged in different barrels

That's my two pennies

 

I just hope it's still on tap Monday so I can get a glass after work.
