    Whoa! If I wasn't in Europe then, I would seriously consider a weekend up in the area to grab some of that. Sounds fantastic.

    So it's a Maple Bourbon Barrel aged 6% ABV Irish Red Ale? Can't say I've ever had something like this before.

    English Red Ale- I believe there may be differences. Regular Bourbon Magician was ridiculous, this should satisfy.

    How long do these usually last before they sell out?

    Every release has been chill and thankfully not a shitshow. Island Chomper lasted the shortest which I think was 3-4 days.

    Going to be up there the weekend of 10/3 for my 7 year anniversary... Any chance it will still be available?

    I don't know! Maybe....but seeing that Island Chomper only lasted a few days and this is our first BB beer in a while and it's the Private Stache and all, and that it's the Oktoberfest celebration in Bellaire....AND it has maple in it...well, good luck.

    Mustache party, eh?

    Magician is in my top five Short's beers ... can't make the trip but I bet this thing will be tremendous.

    It took me one minute to figure out I could drop the kids at school, drive up to Bellaire and arrive just after launch, get a few bottles, head back down and arrive with a handful of minutes left to pick up the kids from school.

    It took my wife 5 seconds to say, "You might have a problem."

    Yo, homes, to Bellaire!

    I'm looking at a possible road trip and overnight stay at Traverse City that weekend. Sounding like it's worth the drive.
