It's an imperial stout blended with an IPA... Stored together for several months in an oak barrel...

I guess the girl serving me was wrong about the blend... either way, fucking money.

This is a blended beer that we've been brewing for the past several years and it's recently been gaining in popularity.

For Burton Baton we first brew two 'threads' or batches of beer: an English-style Old Ale and an Imperial IPA. After fementating the separate beers in our stainless tanks, the two are transferred and blended together in one of our large oak tanks. Burton Baton sits on the wood for about a month.

When enjoying the Burton Baton, you'll find an awesome blend of the citrus notes from Northwestern hops melding with woody, vanilla notes from the oak. The wood also tends to mellow the 10% of the beer - so tread cautiously!

Burton Baton is brewed and released three times per year.

and here I thought that you might have gotten your first rim job...:lol:

I wonder if the barrels were first used for whiskey or soemthing else. innis and Gunn (I think thats their name) does that and its soem interesting beers. I found them ok but my wife realy liked them so now we got a bunch of bombers sitting around since she cant drink them till june :lol:

I will look for this beer on saturday when I hit up my distributor.

I will say this... you gotta REALLY like IPA's to like this beer... it's very hoppy... ONSSP likes a taste of some of my IPA's from time to time, but she couldn't handle this one... In fact, my first taste nearly knocked me out of my seat and everyone with me said I had a look of horror and disgust. I certainly wasn't prepared for all of that flavor... 2nd taste was pure heaven... ended up drinking three of them.

I had my first black IPA that night too... Cigar City Or Black Ale... it was really good too, but didn't hold a candle to Burton.

[tommymac]

We must obtain some of said beer

[Phenix_Rider]

Sounds interesting... I'll definitely look for it my next beer adventure.

Speaking of... I found a place near me called "Beer Heaven." Lots of stuff I haven't seen before. They even have Theobroma and several imported German and English beers. I picked up a six-pack of random stuff, including a Young's Double Chocolate Stout which was really good. Tasted like you poured Hersheys chocolate syrup in there lol.

Let's do it.

Fat tire is prety hard to find in the NE. I have seen/had it at b ars a few times but cant recall seeing it in the distributors. I will ask th eguys at my local place when I go this weekend to fill up my gtowlers and see if I can find the dogfish head

[Sixxxxer]

well it should..Because it's tasty. And I want some.

[tommymac]

Agreed, its odd that its such a popular beer but theres no distribution to our area.

[defector]

Can you ship beer? I'll send you guys some Fat Tire, and you send me something that we don't get out here. :lol:

Youre not supposed to but that hasnt stopped me in the past from sending stuff out. There may be a whole "official" way of doing so but i never looked into it.

[Sixxxxer]

Apparently the closest Fat Tire comes to Jersey is North Carolina from the South, and Indiana to the West.

Fuckers...

Actually I lied,

Theres a Beer Finder on there site...Looks like it made it's way to maryland.

I've got some DogFish 60 min in the fridge.

nice. I had the 90 min and was quite good. A friend had the 120 but wouldnt share lol

At least up through Norfolk...

[OneSickPsycho]

I prefer the 90 min, but I can't justify paying the same price for four beers as you do for six beers, when the taste/effect isn't that significantly different.

I get kinda stupid spending money on beer (but it beats buying my wife shoes esp now that shes preggers and cant drink LOL ) I iwll buy 4 or 5 bomber bottles and be out 100 bucks in no time.

I don't mind spending more money for something that's worth more... I just don't see the difference enough between the 60 and 90 to justify it...

[askmrjesus]

I had a brewing party at my place last November. A buddy of mine made a Russian Imperial Stout. Now, a year later, it's ready to drink. :rockwoot:

[OneSickPsycho]

Picked up two four packs Friday night... $14.99 per... Bout had a heart attack... But still worth it. First time in a long time that a buzz wasn't even considered a factor in my purchase decision.

[OneSickPsycho]

Oh, and if you're looking for it... Dogfish Head's website has a search tool that will show you where to buy in your area - fish finder.

[Sixxxxer]

Plenty of dogfish in Jersey Tommy!!

its usualy prety available here as well. I went to my local distributor that sells more micros than they do in bud and coors so i was surprised to see they didnt have it. I know if I ask for it they can prolly get it given the selection of other obsure and limited release beers they carry.
