Message Dunt beers 321 º 06:58 Thu 8/16/2012 Originally posted by TheAlum Just as an update: Margarita Sofie has been marked as "Unrateable". It will remain in the database as such for historical sake and future possible releases. While we allow radlers and blends like that, when the alcohol is that dominant (50% Margaritas - that’s a lot of tequila), it really kinda disqualifies itself. We allowed Tonic the Hedgehog.. as I don’t think there was nearly as much (if any) actual gin in the blend. But, after some discussion, I think we’ll just leave this as a no-go. Was a really nice drink though.. pretty dangerous that late in the day as well. Between a couple of pours of that and King Henry, I went from 0 to 60 pretty damn quick
Message t0rin0 P beers 102 º places 1528 º 09:18 Thu 8/16/2012 Originally posted by drowland I was also shocked to walk over to Livery’s release of bourbon tripel weizenbock to be greeted by nobody. I stood there and drank all of their sours for 15 min then drank the shit out of the release. I finally got to try that one. A friend’s rating of that beer is how I first heard of the Livery a couple years back. Best of all it was actually good.

So that is the base for 1616 huh? Makes me excited to see what they have lined up for 1515.

According to Central Waters Brewing Company... 1) The Experimental Stout was a test recipe for Central Waters 1616 imperial stout and molasses was used to prime the firkin. Only one firkin was made. 2) The Brown Sugar/Molasses version that was available during the Great Taste of the Midwest 2012 was Central Waters Satin Solstice with a firkin primed with brown sugar and molasses.
