Milwaukee Beer Week

Was told by a CW worker that they are going to have there Brewhouse Coffee Stout on tap and I had it at the 15th anniversary party and it was amazing. A must try. Probably the best coffee stout Ive ever had. The coffee just shines.

 

Hopefully the rye barrel stout is carbed properly. Wasn't at the 15th anniversary. Still really liked it, though.

 

Yeah that stuff is great. Hope it gets bottled again soon. I heard whispers of it being a bomber next release though, which is kind of a bummer. Hopefully not true.

 

Yeah same guy told be they are gonna release it in bombers. Im just glad it will be bottled again. I never had it in bottles, but if it is even close to tap, I will be happy. 4 packs would have been nicer though.

 

Really looking forward to trying that one out, have never had it or seen it ever. The only time I was at the Bomb Shelter I was excited to see it on the menu, but they musta just ran out.

Also, if anyone hasn't seen it yet, they put up the taplist on Facebook the other day:

damn!! that sounds delicious, was a it a pairing?

 

Nope, but I had the pork belly on their menu and it was awesome.

 

just the classic gueuze 2011 and 2012. a bottle of LP Kriek 2008 was opened courtesy of BeerFM for those who stuck around long enough.

the uplands available by bottle were blackberry, raspberry, and persimmon.

and all the food was amazing

 

Has anybody seen a tap list for the Colorado Tap takeover at Stubby's? I can't get the link on their facebook page to work.

 

do they have uplands normally or just for that event? would love to go sip on a bottle of some raspberry

 

they only had 1 btl of blackberry and it was gone instantly, i think raspberry woudl still be there.

 

Another couple of good nights of beer week--Burnhearts event was fun, lots of really solid CW beers--always fun to be able to drink BBBW/Peruvian Morning/Exodus/Brewhouse Coffee Stout/Illumination/etc at will on tap. I also figure every single Untappd/internet friend I have was there as well

 

15 was so, so good. Really makes me want a bottle even more.

 

thats how i feel about the 1414 but im not even gona try to seek it out

 

Dear WI BA's,

This shit was NICE- I was pleasantly surprised!



It was VERY smooth and easy drinking for a BBA Stout and still packed a punch - No wood flavor though but the Bourbon and the base Stout were in Harmony. Not the best I've ever had but it was damned good.

If anybody can track me down a bottle of 1414 from them, I'll reward you handsomely for it.

 

Burnhearts was really fun. I think I'm spoiled for getting to try 1414 once and Fifteen twice this beer week...too bad they won't be on tap again!
