Pudgy Day Thread

Is Pudgy barrel aged? Thought it was just aged on 4 different vanilla beans.

 

Correct, not BA. (Though they do have some barrel-aged stuff in the works!)

I'll be there round noon hopefully in time to grab a bottle - psyched to try the new Raspberry Berliner. Gotta open C&C at 2pm so unfortunately won't be able to hang too long..

 

Ooooh do you know approximately when they'll have that BA stuff out? I wish I could go today but life gets in the way. Super excited that PR is doing this. Everything I've had from them has been great!

Also, I hope you can get a bottle at noon, but judging from the pics I've seen, it's already pretty crowded...

 

Update? How fast this stuff gonna sell out?

 

Does anyone here know if Pudgy has ever been sold non-nitro? I assume the bottles are not (could be wrong), and I can't see where they've ever mentioned it being available without nitro.

 

Does anyone know if the special glassware sold out? I tried connecting with locals for a trade through the Pulpit fb page but I didn't get any bites.

 

Heard it from a friend...

The Pudgy release was non-BA and was the leftover base stout that would not fit in the 8 barrels. Meaning it's the same batch as the BA Pudgy and they were just filled early February. Assuming they are aged 10+ months, maybe a year, they might not be out until nearly next Spring (who knows!)...

There is plenty of the special release glassware at the taproom.

 

This was aged on vanilla beans, I wonder if the base that went inside barrels was also aged on vanilla beans

 

It would make sense that all the adjuncts would come after they blend the barrels. (coffee, vanilla, etc..) not sure what the answer is to your question though LOL!

 

I guess I'm curious to know how long they aged this on vanilla beans. If they filled barrels in early February, would they then use the remainder in the tank to age on the beans, then bottle it? If so, that's not even a month, but I'm not sure how long you need to age it to get the full effect from the beans

 

Adjuncts are added after the barrel aging process. How long you age a beer on adjuncts depends on the adjunct. For example, adding coffee can be (and usually is) done in a few days or less. Vanilla can be anywhere from a few days to a couple months. In this case, a month likely would be more than enough time, although I'm pretty sure those barrels were filled in January. They wouldn't have released it if it needed more time.

 

They didn't get the barrels until the end of January, they posted a photo of the EMPTY barrels on 1/31 when they got them in, and not filled until the 2nd of February (according to their FB posts).

 

Pulpit seemed to drop the ball on this one. While they had limits on the beers, you could go through the line as many times as you wanted which is how people have so many bottles. If they are going to limit it, mark hands or something so the hoarders stop hoarding.

 

Agreed if everyone there got their initial allotment then let them go through again.
