We just submitted 2 events to SF Beer Week, but I wanted to give you all a heads up, as they probably won't go public on the site for a few days. We will be having 2 exclusive barrel aged beer releases over beer week.
1. We will be releasing our second exclusive barrel aged beer. "Someone Talked" is a collaborative effort from Healthy Spirits, Ale Industries and Blue Bottle Coffee. We gave Ale Industries our hand-picked Elijah Craig 18 barrel to age a specially commissioned imperial stout, brewed with fresh roasted Blue Bottle Coffee beans. 22oz bottles will be available for sale starting Saturday, February 11 at 11:00AM. Quantities are very limited, so grab it while you can! The brewer will be in the store from 11am to 1PM to answer questions.
2. We will be releasing our third exclusive barrel aged beer. High Water Brewing aged their excellent "Old and In the Way" barleywine in our hand-picked Buffalo Trace barrel for nearly 6 months. 22oz bottles will be available for sale starting Wednesday, February 15 at 2PM. This project yielded just over 200 bottles, so this will be a very limited release! The brewer will be in the store from 2 to 4PM to answer questions.
***We have a very cool third event in the works, but we are still working out some scheduling details. We'll be announcing it in the next day or two.
