luchador en fuego

Just did a quick TABC label approval check, and nothing yet on it. I sure hope we get it, though - sounds great!

 

They replied to me on facebook a month or so ago that Texas was getting it.

 

They've posted here in the past that their special releases tend to take a while to get here due to label approval. But we always get them. The owner's wife is from Houston, I believe, which is why TX was one of their first markets outside of MA.

 

Is this a different version of their Chocolate Sombrero? BA version maybe...?

 

Our Third anniversary beer is Luchador En Fuego, a 100% bourbon barrel aged version of Chocolate Sombrero that we up sized to 11% and added more ancho chile, more cinnamon, and chipotle pepper. The release will be mid to late December.

 

Thanks...guess I could have searched that myself. Sounds interesting...

 

Me gusta.

 

Sombrero is great, so I'm drooling about this one.

Being barrel aged, though, means it probably won't sit on the shelves like Vampire Slayer has.

 

I'm imagining it will resemble the Porcine Unidragon release. I felt pretty lucky to be able to grab one...never saw one after I purchased my 1 and only bottle.

 

Sounds delicious

Might bite on this one

 

You could be right. Vampire Slayer was their 2nd anniversary beer and had a big release, but barrel-aging imposes more limits.

 

We've got a couple shipments of Vampire Slayer since it's release, so it's definitely a different animal than Porcine was... We only got 30 cases of that goddamn beer for the state.

Luchador isn't approved yet. It may be in the process of being approved, but it's neither here nor immediately on it's way. I'm hoping it shows up, sounds pretty great.

 

LOL. Porcine Unidragon was that limited?

I must've been beer shopping the day it came out because I saw it twice and didn't buy it.

 

Well, a pretty limited amount was released here. You can still get it at Spec's though. I think the label and the name are so close to Blaecorn Unidragon that a lot of people overlook it.

It's great, BTW.

 

Which Specs? I've intentionally looked for it, and not found it

 

I seem to remember seeing it at Brodie on an endcap.

I remember picking it up, seeing the price, and immediately putting it back and getting some more Schmaltz Jewbelation 16.

 

That would make sense. I refuse to step foot in Brodie any more. I'd rather go without than go to that store

 

Hey guys, Matt from Clown Shoes here. We are indeed waiting to send Luchador to TX, everything is submitted and it's just a matter of time until we get the approval. Thanks for all the support and enjoy the Luchador!

BTW Vampire Slayer started as our 2nd Anniversary beer, but it's become one of our most popular so we've made it into a year round offering, which is why you still see it at stores.

Cheers

 

Why?
