Westbrook releases

Last year it was pretty laid back. Inside and outside taps. Plenty of people sharing. Not really crowded. It's worth the trip.

 

What are the chances of some of those beers still being on tap on the 14th?

 

I'd say zero. They get through them pretty quick, but a more local person may be able to help.

 

So sounds like the ‘18 BA Mexican Cakes went on sale and sold out? What was the cost/allocation?

 

(4) 22oz bottles of 2018 Maple Syrup Barrel-Aged Mexican Cake
(2) 22oz bottles of 2018 Bourbon (Woodford Double Oaked) Barrel-Aged Mexican Cake
(2) 22oz bottles of 2018 Maple Syrup Barrel-Aged Mexican Coffee Cake
(1) 22oz bottle of 2018 Rum (Plantation) Barrel-Aged Mexican Cake
(1) 22oz bottle of 2018 Vanilla Extract Barrel-Aged Mexican Cake
(1) 22oz bottle of 2018 Madeira Barrel-Aged Mexican Cake


$370.59 with taxes and fees for the (11) bottles.

 

Absolutely no bottle sharing this year, per WB, leave em at home.

I imagine the popo will rightfully be out in full force, so please just get a DD or Uber folks.

 

so how was everything?

 

Really tasty overall, def liked the vanilla, even if its 'extract'.

 

FYI:: the Vanilla Cake was aged in Barrels that were used to make vanilla extract.

 

...After the initial rush to get pours. Luckily I was there early and was able to get the vanilla before it tapped out. Slightly bummed they only have three of this years variants on draft. Also heard the wine barrel this year they didn't have enough to keg.

Time will tell I guess.

 

Interesting. So they didn’t age in any spirit barrels at all for this one? No bourbon barrel aging? I noticed they used similar terminology for the maple one...don’t think it says bourbon barrels, just maple barrels...

 

It was aged in a bourbon barrel that previously contained vanilla extract.

 

What Viking said.

 

Well those of you who aren’t tired of maple bourbon barrels.... you’re in luck. Maple bourbon BA 7th anniversary bottles on sale today at the brewery. 20$ 6pp.

Wish they would just do normal bourbon barrels. I was looking forward to this too. But these maple bourbon barrels beers are too sweet.

 

Reckon they’ll be gone before Saturday?

 

I’d assume yes but you never know. Last year ba anniversary beers lasted awhile if I remember correctly.

 

Thanks, good point... it’s worth a run, worst case I’ll score some nice drafts...

 

Anybody want to split a double maple coconut cake tomorrow ?

 

I don't know if this is the best place to ask (since it's Stillwater who probably places the order)-

but is there any hope of Gose Gone Wild popping up in 4x16oz cans? The Tour ones were okay (same price point, but not really any better or worse than the original) but the GG Dry Hopped was almost a year old when I first saw it on shelves, and is still lingering.

I would so gladly pay $15+ for a 4x16oz of regular GGW. Even if it was $20/per I'd probably buy a case for the pool. Need that one to come back.
