Message cquiroga beers 371 º places 11 º 09:01 Thu 7/26/2012 FYI, to the folks who were there. . . The beer we had was the "Brewer’s Blend" of BA Speedway Stout, meaning that it was barrel-aged and then a portion of straight Speedway was blended back in, to taste. And then it was cask-conditioned. And then we drank it. And then we beergasmed. Here’s the listing: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/alesmith-speedway-stout-brewers-blend/151574/ I’d give ’er a 4.5-4.6, something like an 8/5/9/5/18-19.

Message cquiroga beers 371 º places 11 º 09:59 Thu 7/26/2012 And oh yeah, by the way. . . I tried a "Randal 2.0"-type experiment of adding some fresh ground Panama Esmeralda Geisha coffee to a pour of the Speedway cask, then letting it cold-steep for about 10 minutes before drinking. FUCKEN. INSANE. Highly recommended. It makes for an expensive lil’ cup o’ joe/snifter of beer, but it was goddamn delicious. Gonna try again this weekend with a bottle of "regular" Speedway Stout.

Message 3fourths P beers 9492 º places 1576 º 10:01 Thu 7/26/2012 good god that beer was divine. stouts like speedway just beg for the creaminess given by natural carbonation.
Message cquiroga beers 371 º places 11 º 10:05 Thu 7/26/2012 Still available at Beacwhood BBQ & Brewing in Long Beach as of closing time last night. Seriously contemplating heading down there for a pour or few.... Damn the hour+ drive each way.
Message IrishBoy P beers 4707 º places 141 º 12:14 Thu 7/26/2012 We had the BA Blend at the Firestone Int BF in June and it was great.
Message GT P beers 10001 º places 672 º 12:22 Thu 7/26/2012 Damn I thought it was just normal speedway so scrolled past doing my tick frenzy. Oh well, I’m probably moving to California soon anyway ;)

Message GT P beers 10001 º places 672 º 12:42 Thu 7/26/2012 Definitely had a few pours of that. :D

Oh well, I’m probably moving to California soon anyway ;) dude it said BA speedway, and on CASK motherfucka, isn’t that enticing enough to make you grab a glass? I’ll try almost anything on cask, there are times the texture is so astoundingly better than CO2 tap and bottle that it’s worth forgetting the rates for a sec for the chance to try what may be an amazing version of a beer you’ve had multiple times in the past.
