Silhouette Release

This is my favorite aged stout on planet earth. Outstanding piece of artist beer.

 

How early is early?

 

Late afternoon. But LB posted on their FB page that they have more this year. Since they released extra bottles I would hope they also kegged extra for this years release.

 

We were enjoying BA Silhouette right up until we left fro the night which had to be 7 or 8 pm.

They may of ran out in the taproom? But in the back by the bands they had 2 additional stations pouring beer.

 

This.

This was exactly my experience- kicked in the taproom much earlier but had some left in the back room. My checkin said I was enjoying it at 6:30.

So probably still get there as early as you can, but regardless you should be good.

 

Getting pumped for this! LASIK surgery In the AM and then hopefully a day of great beer and clear vision

 

Was the back room just nitro? The year before I had the nitro from the back and it wasn't near as good. Most of the bourbon aroma and flavors were lost for some reason. I even asked if it was the BA version vs. regular sill.

 

Back room last year was not nitro

 

Nope it was standard BA version last year

 

Expect everything to taste like metal due to the regiment of eye drops you will be on for a couple weeks....

 

If that's the case, should this procedure be postponed and done on Darkness Day or Dark Lord Day?

 

Didn't they do it on nitro for the '14 release? I just stopped in to pick up the bottles that year, but remember people posting here about it and not liking it. They have had Shadow Effect on nitro the past two years.

 

Fuck, the years are starting to run together. Could very well have been 2 or 3 years ago. I need a beer!

 

Make sure you have a Designated Driver this weekend.. enjoy the brew and your new vision!

 

I know, right. I only knew what year it was because my wife was out of town and our daughter was about one. I had to convince my parents to drive us out to Stillwater for me to pick up the bottles and then to Steal Toe to get some Size 11.

 

thanks man! The wife is signed up for DD, I'll just need to get her some New Glarus Apple Ale from Casanova.

 

A couple of weeks ago I was invited into their cooler for a little BAS tasting and I found this brew to be top notch again.

 

Lift Bridge has a blueberry double IPA?

 

Yup, smells fantastic, taste pretty good too.

I feel like an idiot, it wasn't until I saw the tap handle and that it was purple at Lift Bridge today that I put it all together and got the tribute.
