Latest Pipeworks Releases and Updates (2018)

Beer cellar in glen Ellyn has BA Jones Dog as well as bunny and the bird. Also go here in general, dave is an awesome guy

 

My friend at a bottle shop says that the Toasty Nut Abduction won't be out as scheduled. We'll get a Mocha (dark matter coffee) Abduction instead. Toasty will come later, apparently.

 

Which barrels were used for the aging? I'd also love to know which were used for previous batches of jones, last kiss, and murderous

 

previous batches:
BA Jones Dog - Evan Williams
BA Last Kiss - Buffalo Trace
BA Murderous - Elijah Craig

 

Picked up some ba jones dog. I'll guess I'll bring one to Dark Lord

 

I have a batch 75 to do a side by side if you want. Also I can lug those TNAs with so we should definitely coordinate.

 

I definitely want to hang out with you guys at DLD!

 

Sounds good. I'll text you when I get there around 2:30

 

Batch 75 says buffalo trace barrels, same as 209.

Opened up both just now for a side by side.
75 has a strong bourbon flavor, but it isn't hot, so I like it.
209 is on the next level though. Definitely among the best of the best BA stouts I've had.

Great job guys :love:

 

So digging through some boxes of my cellar for DLD, I found some old bottles of End of Days (Batch 12) and Abduction (Batch 41). Anyone have any idea how these are tasting now?

 

i just found a batch 60 of abduction too while getting bottles for DLD. curious how they are.

 

Would anyone recommend aging or cellaring BA Jones Dog?

 

drink the fuckin beer, they'll make more.

 

I am cellaring 1 for a year just to see how it changed

 

I was wondering that, too. I grabbed a BA Jones and Murderous the other day. I've had BA Jones before and loved it so I figured I'd put one in the basement and see what happens, but reading all of these great things makes me reconsider. Maybe I'll bust it open this weekend and see if I can pick up another to put down there on the shelves.

 

Is there any BA Last Kiss floating around? That might be the best beer I have had in years.

 

I have a Batch 1 Koval Whiskey Barrel Aged Smoked Porter 20%. Kinda just want to hang on to it since I helped Kickstart them and figure it would be a good memento. On the other hand, has anyone tried one of these lately?

 

Haven't seen it in a week or two.

Side note: I haven't drank mine yet, but I plan on doing a 3-way: Backwoods Bastard, Wulver, BA Last Kiss tasting soon!

 

I haven't had the ba last kiss but I thought wulver was awesome, a hair better than bwb.

 

I've heard from 2 separate stores that the new batch of ba jones dog was aged in 30 year heaven hill barrels. Can anyone confirm or deny this?

 

i wasn't feeling particularly camera friendly that week and opted to stay in the shadows. Wanted to allow more time for Scotty's flailing arms!

 

Confirmed (~27-30 year barrels) and they are amazing.

 

5/2 for Zommelier
and 5/9 for Mocha Abduction which is replacing TNUT for this month... hopefully we can get TNUT on the schedule asap... had an issue sourcing the coconut we use.

 

I don't think we got the invite. =p At least I can't find it in any of our inboxes. I think we got the invite last year?

 

1st batches on the meheen were:

4/18 - Wolpertinger
4/18 - 377 Ellijah's Revival
4/19 - 379/382 Bunny and the Bird
4/24 - 388 NvU
4/24 - 383 Mocha Abduction

and of course everything going forward

 

Hot damn! Can't wait to try side by side with the first batch

 

I just picked up a bunny & bird, did you guys notice a quality difference bottling with the new machine?

 

Nice. Just found some BA Jones Dog and BA Murderous. One of each is added to the share pile for tomorrow.

 

there should most definitely be a quality difference in terms of shelf stability and capping variance. We'll know more in a few weeks when we can start testing.

 

Hopefully while you @Pipeworks guys are still up....any word on if and when more glassware will be hitting store shelves or do we have to wait till the new spots open up? I got two people fiending for your snifters lol

 

Probably no more sticky bottles too

 

I was told this base beer is actually game of jones as well.

 

it is.

 

If anyone missed out on the first batch of The Jones Dog but got extras of the new one and wants to do a 1:1, shoot me a BM!

 

Thanks for the info @Pipeworks! And once you can start testing how long until you start can testing? :-)

 

Rogers park fine wine and spirits looked to have just put out their case of BA Jones today - roughly 12 on the shelf, and 12 in the cooler. They also used to have 2 4-packs of 2013 Backwoods, now 1.

 

Actually you did it was phenomenal. Mochachinco Abduction was fantastic. Bunny v Bird was great BA jones dog Mint truffle abduction and NvU on draft. I'm done

 

wait? what was on tap?

 

Ninja v Unicorn. - Bobby was pouring

 

BA Jones dog super tasty. Cherry, brown sugar, vanilla. Very good stuff.
