    Fresh off winning a Gold Medal at the 2015 Great American Beer Festival in the Wood and Barrel Aged Sour Category for Veritas 015 (Blonde Sour with Peaches, Apricots and Nectarines), The Lost Abbey announced the release of Veritas 016 this November.

    The Veritas line has been an ongoing experiment of the relationship between fruit, Brettanomyces and barrel aging. Inspired by one of their previous draft-only blended sours (Spontaneous Cheer) this is the 16th iteration in the Veritas series. Veritas 016 is a blended Oak-Aged Sour and the first in the Veritas line to include white peaches.

    As in years past, the initial sale of Veritas 016 will coincide with The Lost Abbey’s Annual Barrel Night, which kicks off San Diego Beer Week on November 7th. The very limited 150 tickets are $200 and include dinner by local San Diego Executive Chef, Christian Graves of J-Six, 5 single-barrel samples from the depths of The Lost Abbey Oak Aging Program, and 4 bottles of Veritas 016. Tickets for The Lost Abbey Barrel Night will go on-sale Tuesday, October 6th at 12pm (PST).

    For anyone who happens to miss out on tickets to Barrel Night, a secondary sale of Veritas 016 will take place at 12pm (PST) on October 13th with bottle pickups scheduled over 3 sessions (early/late Saturday and one on Sunday) on the weekend of November 14th and 15th. Bottles are $41 ($1 service charge included) and are limited to 3 bottles per person.

    Additional info and links to the sales will be released shortly

    Veritas 15 wasn't terrible. It wasn't smooth, but at least people were able to get orders through.

    LA already stated a while ago that the Nexternal system was improved. Based on the hoops we had to jump through for DDG'13 and the lack of those hoops for V015 I would say it is getting better. Maybe not quite yet there but better.

    So Veritas 015 was released earlier this year. I thought this was an annual release or is it when its ready?
    And anyone trying to go to the dinner or bottles only?

    Veritas has always been twice a year. SDBW and then again usually 5 months later (sometimes less)

    If this were true we would be on Veritas 018 or 019. It's been true lately, though.

    Yes you are correct, I was a bit too hasty on my reply and only went back to V010 or V009.
