ivwasnt there in person, but I got the email from alesmith about and it has been rated so I’m assuming that yes, it really happened. I hope that they turn it onto a semi-regular cask offering. That would make a good excuse for another drive down to sd.

There was also a deal where you could get like a half a pint of regular speedway and do them side by side, total for both was $8.50. Very, very, well organized, I showed up 10-15 minutes late, missed the line, but still got to get a glass of it, I think the keg blew 45 min after it started, but by then anyone who wanted pretty much got it. Heard from one of the brewers there was $150 bucks worth of coffee in that 5 gallon keg, they also added way more coffee to the shit then they do to regular speedway. Doing them side by side was pretty cool. The regular version you get a hint of coffee and then all those other great flavors come through. The shit was a lot of coffee flavor, but not enough to drown out the other things going on with the beer. Very smooth and easy drinking.

Sorry about the delay. We had to debate the issue and that takes time to make sure we get all the information and relevant perspectives.
So we had to discuss the issue of coffee types on this one, and because a Danish brewer is also coming out with a coffee beer made with a single estate coffee. This required a finer splitting of hairs with the rules on secondary ingredients. In other words, at what point is a different type of coffee a new beer and at what point is coffee just coffee.
Coffee geeks understand that estate coffees can vary greatly in character from one other. The same applies to chocolates and teas. As such, a brewer may wish to create a line of beers that showcases those differences in character.
We determined that based on the decisions we’ve made in the past, the difference between using a different coffee to tweak a recipe and using a different coffee to create a new beer would be determined much the same way we’ve determined such things in the past. Examples being types of scotch barrels in Brewdog Paradox or specific aging techniques in Xyauyu. We use the brewer’s naming convention as a proxy for brewer intent, since we can’t rely on tapping the brains of every brewer in the world.
So the kopi luwak speedway, the new Danish brew etc all stand, based on brewer intent to create a distinct new beer. This applies to future brews featuring estate coffees, chocolates and teas. We may need to ask the question again for other secondary ingredients - we will cross that bridge when we come to it.

Are you guys talking about the new "Speedway on American Oak" - or the Kopi Luwak?
And is there a better commercial description for the American Oak version? How exactly is it different?
