Jackie O's (2018)

Are you referring to the Untappd description? I don't think that's entirely accurate or official, and everything from Jackie O's has suggested to me it's blended post-barrel aging. For instance, the specification of the parts with the 101 Beer Kitchen barrel treatment for only Woodburner:

 

Off topic from the current discussion in the thread, but I wanted to give an endorsement for See Foam.

I've bought several 6pks and cannot get enough of it and I hope it remains a staple of the lineup. I received a promo glass from an event in Columbus and the glass has been a big reason why I tried the beer... please continue such promos; I cannot be the only one swayed by cheap glassware.

Hopefully there are a few more drops of this fabulous beer through the end of the year.

 

Found out this weekend that Who Cooks for You will be a year rounder next year!

 

.. and so a beer name was born.

 

Anybody know what the word on champion ground is this year?

 

Rumor has it it's starting to turn.

 

They yet to be released bottles are already starting to turn?

 

Yep. Drink now if you got 'em BA's.

 

I think you misread what @neelonjm said. He said "Yet to be released." I.e., not yet released. I.e., the upcoming release, not the last release.

 

Woosh

 

Part of me thought it was a joke, but I’m guessing Jackie O’s bottles and sits on them for a few weeks so I thought maybe he had heard something about them going sour before even being released to the public.

 

Luckily they bottle the same beer and just label it differently, if you want champion, just try coffee oil or coffee dark app.

 

I’d normally agree. Coffee oil is usually one of my favorites but this was a down year for me. Had several bad bourbon oils to boot, so not going to pick up more. VC Dark app was on the list...so I’d like to scratch my JO’s (pasteurized) coffee itch.

 

Hey you can’t say that about Jackie O’s! You can only say that about NEIPA breweries!

 

BBA Oro
BBA Black Maple
BBA Coffee Black Maple
BBA Black Mask

All being released Saturday Dec, 8. I might be driving up North for this one.

 

Wondering where Champion Ground is though. Maybe saving it for the Anny Party?

 

Has Mandala Simcoe hit statewide? I've had no luck finding it around Dayton. Plenty of Java though, which is tasting pretty good with the ramped up coffee this year.

 

Saw some yesterday at Krogers in Beavercreek.

 

Brad is leaving Jackie O’s

http://jackieos.com/blog/new-directions/

 

Joint venture with Rick Seibt?

 

Doubtful. Also:

"Brad will be relocating to Santa Cruz, California to start a new chapter with his fiancé"

 

Would probably be good tho

 

I think his fiance co-founded Sante Adairius

 

"It is also an exciting time for Brad as he makes plans to develop his own brewery/brand in California."

Seems he plans to open a brewery.

 

While that's a bit of bad news for Ohio beer lovers, I just wanna say thank you to Brad. You're a good dude and it was a pleasure to have you participate in our community until you, understandably, left; and it was a HUGE pleasure to drink your beer. Good luck!

 

Surprised I haven't seen any details about the Anniversary Party, yet.

 

Have you looked on Facebook or Instagram? Draft list has been posted and some bottles have been announced. Discounted hotel rates, dates, and other details have also been released via the social media outlets mentioned above.

 

Welcome back BC! Looking forward to the Athens road trip.

 

Surprised you haven’t looked on the internet. Must be waiting on the pony express to send you a post card.

 

Thank you for everything Brad! You've always been a great dude and your beers have brought plenty of joy over the years.

Best wishes on everything in this new chapter in your life.

 

Don't use Facebook or Instagram. When I looked on the Facebook page the other day it was blank, probably because I wasn't logged in. Would be nice to see some information on your webpage. Best of luck on your future ventures though.

 

Tap List

 

Every year we experiment with our beloved Imperial Stout, Dark Apparition, by aging it in a different spirit barrel. Our 2019 release in this series is Port Barrel Dark Apparition, and bottles will be available at our Extravaganza celebration on January 4th & 5th!

We sourced some beautiful port barrels from Portugal. These barrels quietly rested for almost a year, lending intriguing depth and character to our signature Imperial Stout. A rich nose of dark chocolate and vanilla is accompanied by a subtle and mature grape presence. The flavor provides hints of leather, tobacco, and chocolate covered blackberries.

10% Abv.
11.99/bottle (6/person/day)

Stay tuned for more bottle release info and the Extravaganza draft list!



First on the list for the Extravaganza bottle release will be the biggest and boldest beer that we have made in our 13 years of brewing! ‪On January 4th‬, we will release Anything And Everything And Nothing At All, a collab we did with Cycle Brewing from St. Petersburg, Florida. This huge Imperial Stout was aged for 18 months in cinnamon vanilla whiskey barrels. These unique barrels lent an incredible amount of adjunct character via the wood and the residual liquid in the barrels. We did not use any vanilla beans or cinnamon sticks in creating this beer. Finishing at an impressive 16% ABV, Anything And Everything And Nothing At All is the strongest brew we have ever made. Join us in celebrating 13 years of brewing and try this exciting release on draft and in bottles!

As we are getting closer to the Extravaganza make sure to book your hotel for the event! Two local hotels are offering discounted room rates, more details below.

The Ohio University Inn is offering a discounted room rate using the code “Jackie O’s”. Please make reservations by ‪December 21, 2018‬.
‪(866)593-6661‬

The Fairfield Inn and Suites Athens, Ohio is also offering a discounted rate. To take advantage of this rate, please make reservations by ‪January 1st, 2019‬, and mention JOB (Jackie O's Beer) when calling.
‪(740) 589-5839‬

Stay tuned for more bottle release info and the Extravaganza draft list!

 

Thanks @Elkevjoe for being helpful. It's nice to be able to find all the pertinent information here. Merry Christmas!

 

Anybody hear if other bottles are going to drop too? We'd typically see BA DA, BA VCDA, and spirit beast if not others (last year we got some tasty sours IIRC). Or maybe everything is delayed like the last set of champion/black mask/oro/maple?

 

Thanks for the help, would have been nice if someone who works for the brewery could offer as much help.

 

TBF I'm sure beer advocate is the tiniest blip on the radar in terms of outreach for them. Facebook posts are pretty much the norm for 2018

 

That's all well and good, but in a time where more and more people are leaving Facebook, you'd think they could update their own webpage or even Twitter (which a lot of breweries do as well).

 

They posted on their Instagram story a number of days ago that other bottles are planned for release.

 

Here you go!
