Let's Talk About Event Horizon

I would also like to see this. I'd also like to try a BBA Lindley Park (sans honey) too, as well as, a Lindley Park and Imperial Stout without honey.

 

As a visitor to NC, this is my first time having Event Horizon. It arrived here in Asheville on Tuesday, and was plentiful at the local shops. Very impressed with this stout!

 

Hasn't lindly park always been barrel aged?

 

It has. My bad on that one. I always forget because the raspverry flavor is so strong.

 

Was hoping to score
Some bottles Monday in Asheville. But Bruisin ales is closed. Anyone have a beat on bottle
Shops open Monday in the Asheville area that would have EH?

 

Will be going on the engine soon at the Bee!

 

You could try Appalachian Vintner

 

I'm going to Asheville tomorrow and I'm hoping I can still find it.

 

Can someone explain this?

 

I'm a very novice brewer, but from what I understand, honey almost completely ferments out when added to the boil, so very little of its character will be left in the beer. I think it's basically used as a simple sugar to boost the abv, without adding a harshness that can occur when adding sugar.

Adding honey to the primary, however, will add sweetness to the beer.

Here's a link to more information about brewing with honey, if you're interested: https://byo.com/light-ale/item/322-brewing-with-honey or here http://www.beeradvocate.com/community/threads/when-to-add-honey.38677/

 

Honey is almost 100% sugar. Yeast eat sugar to create alcohol. Thus, adding honey to a beer will just make it more alcoholic, not sweeter. Although it will impart a bit of honey flavor.

 

There is still pretty good stock here, so I think you will be fine. App Vintner still has many cases, and I assume BA does as well. I'm glad that tpeople don't go nuts for releases here!

 

Exactly, it actually makes the beer drier.

 

App Vintner would be a guess, it's damn near everywhere here.

 

This might be my favorite barrell-aged beer of the season.

 

Have some bottles coming north, can't wait to try 2014...loved 2012 and 2013, what I've been told is 2014 is the best, and less boozy, I never got a lot of booze in 2012 and 2013, still have some of each of those years.

 

As a New Yorker with absolutely no skin in this game I have to say EH is fantastic and yes, terribly overlooked in the world of BA stouts. I think it crushes the central waters iteration mentioned above .

It's not BCBS and that's a good thing, if I want BCBS that's what I'll drink. Just like when I want chèvre I don't reach for Gorgonzola! The more BA stouts I drink the more I appreciate variety in a genre that can suffer from a little too much sameness. Massiveness is not the only virtue!

I think pugachev's cobra destroys Black Tuesday and that's another one that has been criminally overlooked (although that seems to be changing). I wouldnt be surprised if the EH "variants" push this beer over the top in terms of popularity. Today's beer geek loves dem adjuncts. You can bank on the trade value of those being much higher too, particularly if the bottle counts are on the low side.

 

So, in general relativity, an event horizon is a boundary in spacetime beyond which events cannot affect an outside observer. In layman's terms, it is defined as "the point of no return", i.e., the point at which the gravitational pull becomes so great as to make escape impossible. An event horizon is most commonly associated with black holes. Light emitted from beyond the event horizon can never reach the outside observer. Likewise, any object approaching the horizon from the observer's side appears to slow down and never quite pass through the horizon, with its image becoming more and more redshifted as time elapses. The traveling object, however, experiences no strange effects and does, in fact, pass through the horizon in a finite amount of proper time.....wait, what forum am I in?

 

If you're in Charlotte looking for EH, make a trip to Brawley's on Park Rd. They are really helpful, have an excellent selection and good prices. I always look to support the local guys. They had tons of EH Friday.

 

Completely see the point here. However I believe that everyone would agree that honey is a sweetner. That being the case if you taste honey in any beer it essentially adds an element of sweetness.
