Official SA Bishop's Barrel thread

Preach!

 

hahahahaha!!!!!
oh man, that is good...

 

Don't fucking chase it then. You aren't entitled to each beer that gets released, and you certainly don't "Gotta catch 'em all!!!". Get what you can get and suck it up if you can't get it.

 

Damn, some hostility up in this thread.

 

I agree with your post, but I also like Pokemon.

 

I'm with Mr. I'm done with this Mickey Mouse bush league bullshit. I'm done chasing St A's. At least I better be

Description: Pours a black color with a very light head that dissipates quickly. The nose is all bourbon and chocolate. The taste starts with a mix of spice with the bourbon and chocolate emerging and lingering through the finish. The light carbonation keeps the beer from becoming cloying, almost giving it a perception of lightness. A pleasant sipping beer with the bourbon both present but not overpowering as you work your way through the glass. Oddly easy to drink for a beer this strong.

The warmer this beer gets the better it tastes. We recommend enjoying between 55°F and 60°F. If you are going to age these beers, it is best done in a refrigerator, not at room temperature.

 

I wonder why they say age in a refrigerator and not room temp...

 

I age a ton of stouts at room temp.

I would think the obvious question would be... How is anybody going to get any to age?

 

This is true, but I think the idea was to drink it at the establishment.

I just hope no friend of a friend of a friend is letting people get a bunch of these and walk out the door.

 

A bar or restaurant could choose to set some aside. It's guidance for their accounts.

 

You can bet some places will be setting some aside, especially the ones with big coolers. Size does matter sometimes.

 

Just look at Pumpkinator, there's place all over the damn place still "releasing" that mamma jamma. Glad I drove all over town looking for a bottle and getting butthurt when I had ASK for one...

 

Where did you find this info?

 

I know one place of my head that will def be holding some, aging them and releasing them for a special dinner

 

Sounds like Goode Company Something to me...

 

Hes going to pull an Azzy! WATCH OUT!
