New in Kentucky

Over And Above this weekend at Ethereal will feature Coffee Vanilla Baba Yaga. $10 gets a glass and 5 tickets.

 

I feel stupid for asking, but what is "Over and Above"?

 

I typed it in google and it was the second result. Come on.

 

Homestyle when its on is great, consistency is the big issue. It would be in my fave followed by DDH Attention please with vic secret and the first batch of ddh chief.

 

High ABV fest for KY beers.

 

Is there any update on when the blackberry plum wild may be bottled?

 

I'd say a few months at least. It wasn't quite release-ready when we tasted it, but it was close.

 

Wow, I just tried Country Boy's Shotgun Wedding for the first time and i'm hooked. I've heard a lot of good things about them ever since they opened up the taproom in Georgetown. Got some Cougar Bait to still test and now im looking forward to the other brews and new stuff they have coming soon!

 

Ethereal also debuting Aunt Hohmima, a coffee maple imperial stout at Over & Above tomorrow.

 

Mark your calendars now. Snake Cake and Snakes Awake! (Cake + Coffee) bottles go on sale March 31 at noon. Given the last release, this might sell out immediately.

 

Guess I'm sleeping on a couch in Lexington on the 30th.

 

We will investigate if it will be like Baba Day or not. If ya catch my drift.

 

It happens to be one of the weekends that I don't have anything going on, and I love any excuse to spend the night with friends in Lexington.

 

Bummer that the release is Easter weekend. I'll be out of town with family.... unfortunately.

 

I'm not gonna miss out on any shares that may or may not take place this time. I'll bring some killer brews to share.

 

Early reports are that line shares will be heavily discouraged.

 

Hi! Looking for some help. I have a friend coming to a share in Chicago from Louisville, and I’m looking to advise her on a respectable, out-of-Chicago-market beer to bring.

We get a lot of Against the Grain up here, but I don’t know much more about the KY scene. Looks like Nashville’s bearded iris might be a good option. Any other tips, tricks or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

 

Against the Grain probably has the most "whale-like" beers of Louisville. Bearded Iris lands occasionally around there, but is kind of over-hyped in my opinion. West Sixth makes some really good BA stuff, but not sure availability around Louisville.

 

Mile Wide has good cans/crowlers. Best to check at the brewery for most up-to-date availability.
