    I would likely take you up on that Jim, since I'll probably see you at Adam's in April anyway.

    If I remember what Matt told me correctly I believe the story behind the 23's smaller bottle count was that for 22 it was a blend of barrel-age and non barrel-aged beer. When they were blending they enjoyed the taste for the straight barrel-age beer so much they decided to go 100% for 23. They didn't have the space to up the qty of barrels so less beer was released

    I'd be curious also if this is anywhere in San Diego still.

    Same here. I have one bottle that I want to age, but I never got a chance to try it fresh, and I haven’t seen it in any bottleshops for the past couple months.
