Derek beat me to it about the Ancient Age Barrels. I’m still in shock this didn’t take a medal at GABF…what a masterpiece.
Cool, those are three of the best beer bars in the city.

Hey Mike,
Thanks for tipping folks off, but there’s just one or two corrections I’d like to make.

These barrels were not Jim Beam barrels; they were Buffalo Trace Ancient Age barrels. The first batch we did last year had aged in a Jim Beam barrels, but we are pretty much sold on trying to use Buffalo Trace now as often as possible.

Secondly, the main bulk of the 31 cases available locally will be hitting stores’ shelves Thursday. If you’re reading this website, then you no doubt know which retailers to check with for this beer. In addition, it’s a good idea to call the store first before driving there. Also, keep in mind that many retailers will most likely limit purchases to 2 bottles per customer.

One very cool distinction from last year is that there will be 3 bars carrying it this year–33 Wine Bar, Cicero’s and Iron Barley.

Enjoy!
