Mirror Mirror release date = March 6th

Cool, I love http://www.deschutesbrewery.com/

Had a few Red Chair NWPAs last night...very nice. Have not had the Fresh Squeezed IPA yet...looking forward to it.

 

I would be impressed if anyone cared about the public $%&# measuring like this.... I look at the group of reviews not one individual any ways... move on

 

A lot of breweries seem to do this to Hoosiers. At least I am 40 minutes from Chicago and the Michigan border. I guess Indiana will just continue punishing the rest of the states by keeping Three Floyds all to ourselves.

 

I suppose that I should be happy to get Zombie Dust w/o a road trip even if it is only 2 bottles at a time.

 

I had one in late March and just had another one tonight. This is better then 2009 and I will be cellaring this beer. I am amazed that Clown Shoe Billionaire, which I did buy 3 bombers of, was gone in minutes and Mirror Mirror was on the corner shelve untouched. So I bought a case......and have kick myself in the butt for not buying the other case. This is a world class English Barley Wine.............Sucuba is world class, but I think this years mirror mirror is just as good. Billionaire is good, just not world class

 

It was great. Only issues I had with it are the sweetness being a bit overwhelming for my taste and I like barleywines to have a thick mouthfeel. Both issues I had with the beer should be remedied by aging. I have two more bottles (plan on opening the other bottles in a year and a year and a half after that) and am debating whether or not to buy another bottle (for five years). Probably my second favorite barleywine I've had recently along with BCBBW, although I've not had Sucaba.

 

Does anyone have any idea whether or not this will now be an annual or biannual release?

 

There has been no indication that the policy toward Mirror Mirror has changed which is why I'm very glad I've put some down and why I think those who didn't will regret it later. My opinion and I'm sticking to it.

 

I don't think this thread could be any older. I purchases 6 at the brewery when it was released and they didn't have much then, so im thinking there isn't much left out there to be had.

They only release this every 3-4 years so if you didn't get it, it may be hard to acquire.

 

Probably true in general, but there are at least a dozen still on shelves around me. Guess I need to pick up another bottle or two...

 

I would if I were you, I found it to be an exceptional brew.

 

I was the same way. Didn't even get one bottle of Billionaire, but got five bottles of mirror mirror. I have downed one already, and it was fantastic. I have never had sucuba, so this is the best barley wine I have ever had. I don't understand why they aren't flying off the shelves, but I'm not going to complain. My local store still has nine bottles left on the shelf.

 

Picked up 3 bottles today. It was fantastic on Draft but I can only imagine what it will be like with some age on it. Top 5 barleywines for me.

 

hmm to drink or trade is the question

 

Is trade value high?? There is still plenty on shelves in Philly at $20 a pop

 

some places I believe. ouch at 20 got it for 14.99

 

5+ Cases still to be had here. $14.99 a bottle just came in this week.

 

Great price. I paid 17 at the brewery and that's the going price around Seattle as well.

 

$15.99 SE Missouri...bought 2...one to drink and one for my 50th birthday in March of 2015

 

I cracked a bottle last weekend with a fishing buddy. Glad that I have a few bottles for the cellar, this beer needs about a year in the bottle to smooth out the rough edges. Its pretty sweet right now, and the wine barrel is really solid in this beer. It has great cellar potential and its definately good enough to drink now.
