Templeton Rye Barrel Aged Indignant goes on tonight at Haymarket around 8pm...


I seem to remember some people saying they really liked this at Stoutfest.. I didn’t enjoy it as much as the Bourbon Indignant.. especially the 2nd batch/release of Indignant (or run, etc) they did..


I don’t think I tried it, actually. At least I have no notes relative to it.


It was just OK, I wouldn’t go outta my way for it, but if you happen to be at Haymarket and it’s on, I’d give it a whirl. I think they are doing this along side a Templeton event tonight...

I guess the Goose brewer team found a lost barrel of red wine barrel aged Pere Jacques from 2008 with pears this week.. they say it’s drinking pretty good!

Man, if you only knew the barrels that they have sitting around in there...

I bet, I am just not connected like that with the Goose crew, but Half Acre is another story...

New IPA on at Haymarket. They had their Sausage Fest today.

New Porter on at Three Floyds.

Several new beers at RB:Yorktown including a collab with Solemn Oath’s Timothy Marshall.. an Oatwine that is hopped quite liberally.

Looks like Half Acre dropped a new batch of their Lager at the tasting room..

Howdy, Chi folks.

I’m going to be swinging by Three Floyds on a road trip this coming Friday. Does anyone have any idea when the "Deconstruction" is set to conclude? Looks like I’ll be out of luck in terms of growlers.

I was hoping they were going to stick with a more classic theme. I thought the Helles was fantastic... I’ll give the en Passant a go, but we’ll see...
