    I would like to see Bourbon County coffee with maple without being infected of course.

    Already been mentioned but I do think well see a maple variant this year.
    I would also like to see a double barrel version.

    Maybe like a Bourbon then transferred into a rum-barrel after. That would be nice.

    Coffee and Maple is a pretty good combo. I'd love to see that variant.

    I'm not sure if it's been said but I'll guess Bourbon County Brand Wild Stout. :confused:

    Because there was so much compassion and understanding this year from beer geeks, I assume they have to take the approach of "better safe than sorry"

    Hey Hey, yes, maybe a variant, Wee Green Apple Stout finished in Scotch barrels

    On the infection front, GI website stated these were going to be pasteurized this year. Wouldn't that kill off all the bugers?
