People like a beer more than another good beer that’s been around for a while... AND I CAN’T STAND IT!

As has been pointed out, Johnathan Wakefield gets sole credit for the recipe and brewing of this beer. He designed and brewed the whole thing, we just lent him a the umbrella of a Federal Brewer’s Notice and a hearty ’atta boy for making something we found to be damn tasty.

Anyway, anyone with half a brain knows CCB doesn’t put out anything good so that should have been the first tip off that we weren’t responsible for it.

But, it was brewed on your pilot system for the batch that was at Hunah Day yes?

I so agree with this statement. After drinking my second bottle of BA Church on a Hill, this big ass barleywine at 13% abv would have been terrible if it weren’t for the help of Swamphead. CCB take note. Great job Swamphead!!!

By the way, I need more overrated CCB to hoard.

Cheers

Tired Hands makes a very nice Berliner weisse called Brothers. They do however call it an Amercaner weisse. I dont know about "best" but its fabulous IMHO.

If it isn’t rare, made with fruit, and brewed in Florida then its not worth my time or money.

And no one cares about your opinion? What kind of a site do you think Ratebeer is?
