I've yet to try a beer from this company that I don't love. As I sit here with my third Commodore Perry of the afternoon, two things come to mind....the 7.5 percent alcohol, and did I mention the 7.5 percent alcohol?

Sounds like you've had more than three if you think this is pure football

sorry, I tried to move it .

Are you gonna polish off all 6 today?

right now I'm praying for this to be deleted immediately. Pure football is no place for nonsense, and I apologize. As for your question, the answer is yes.

wrong thread, but yes, they do have excellent brews. just picked up some dortmunder and com perrys yesterday for easter.

I love Dortmunder. I bring back 3 cases every time I visit town. Two for me and one for a friend.

Wish I could buy the stuff around here.

Do you work for GLBC or sumpthin'?

I know the Brew Master there personally... grew up with him

If you ever get a chance to go to the brew pub ask if they have any of the beer they age in bourbon barrels. They do limited batches so they don't always have it but when they do it's very good.

I know Jack Daniels sells thousands of oak barrels a year....mostly to Scotch makers....don't know if they sell any or many to brewers.

Good stuff!

Closest thing I've ever had to real beer since I left Germany many moons ago....

I don't know where the barrels came from I just know that brew is aged in bourbon barrels and it's good. I'm not sure if they use the same name each time but the time I had it the name was Rackhouse.

Where is the drooling Homer Simpson icon? I need it after hearing about beer aged in bourbon barrels.

It's that good mmmmmmmm.

Hey Shepster!

There's another great American Beer line called "Arrogant [censored]", trust me on this I travel to Europe a lot and often look for that little extra myself.

They've got great marketing too.
You're Not Worthy!!

nothing like wood barrels...and if you like wine....oak will win ya a contest....glass barrels just don`t do it.........

the rackhouse is one and they usually do a limited run of the bourbon barrell black out stout, which i think may be coming up, i think i got an email about the release from them.

D lb. D...

boy, it sure seems like they're missing out on a huge market...with all the midwesterners vacationing and retiring in Fla, i woulda thought they'd distribute it down there for sure...

plus, not much in the way of great local brews down there, if i recall...

I thought they were both fall releases.

OK I checked the site Black out Stout is a limitied 4 pack in February/March stout. I was confusing it with Nosferatu link which is a fall release. Both are 4 packs.

The Rackhouse is a pub exclusive. Here's a link to those. pub I have seen some of the exclusives in bottles like the Brown Ale, the Aniversary Ale and the Locktender Lager.

Sounds like time for a trip to the pub Black Out Stout aged in bourbon barrels mmmmmmmm.

Just thought i'd share this email i just got.... i'm sure everyone has draft day plans already, but glbc sounds like the got some cool stuff goin on...
