    Anyone know when or what the next TG stout release will be? I've heard rumors of KBBS, but I was thinking that will be next fall. I've got a buddy getting married in late April in Florida and he's a big TG fan, he's been here a number of times but has never been able to try any of their big stouts(his favorite kind of beer.). I live close enough to drive up and get something, just was hoping something would be out in the near future so I could get him something for his big day. Obviously trading is an option, but I don't have a big enough cellar to land a MD or something like that, I'm better off driving up to get something newly released. Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

    I wouldn't expect anything before April. Since MD isn't barrel aged it could be brewed at any time.

    KBBS/Assassin should be in the fall, hypothetically, based on when Mike returned.

    There is also the TG/Cycle barrel aged beer, but no word on a release date on that either

    I'd like to see SR-71 make a stealthy appearance this winter/spring. 011010011001110011

    Since that was extra aged it would stand to reason that it wouldn't be out until a year after the next batch of assassin.. I'd think.

    I wouldn't expect anything till mid summer. If I had to guess, it's going to be a lottery this time around.

    I wouldn't expect anything until fall. Expect silent releases, silent distro, lotteries, etc

    But...Clark has mentioned a "solera project", so technically they could release a BA stout at any time.. assuming they have several barrels stacked up and ready to go.

    That hasn't really been discussed in a couple of years, right?

    I remember when the SR71 release happened and we were trying to figure out exactly what it was Clark had some posts that were years old at that time discussing Solera but we've never seen a Solera release.

    When Mike left multiple people stated with confidence that the only thing in barrels at TG was Naughty Temple. And we saw those kegs get dumped out a few months ago. Of course with TG you never know and those people who are confident about release details and claim insider info are often wrong.

    Some additional info from their FAQ: "Assassin and Kentucky Brunch Brand Stout will not be released until late 2016, Mornin' Delight will make an appearance at Great Tastes of the Midwest as it does every year."

    From what I understand, the barrels we saw get dumped were not Naughty Temple, those were not pappy barrels.

    It was Naughty Temple that was dumped. NT is aged in Templeton Rye barrels, not Pappy barrels.

    Looks to be assassin per Mike's tweet.

    7-10 months of hype before Assassin is released. HOORAY!

    That was last year. Very few breweries have listed what they are bringing this year.

    Assassin is aged for 6 months and SR-71 has an extra 6 months in the barrel?
