    Is it so difficult to follow a Facebook page? This isn't exactly secret information.

    But how are the flavor and the taste?

    Like pho, obviously.

    Barrel-aged Grand Cru, pass. What a meh beer. It's going to taste infected like BA Decadence 08.

    A) I rarely use Facebook
    B) Vietnamese speedway hasn't been mentioned by them on Facebook since March 12
    C) I apologize if my post bugged you. Seriously

    B: There is a reason for that - it isn't up. And usually when it is up, it is only for 4 oz. tasters because it is a pin keg. Very seldom they allow "grumbler" fills, but I've never ever seen them fill growlers of it. Think you'll need to wait for the bottle release.

    C: I wasn't bugged. I was incredulous that information that is readily available wasn't being heeded. Even if it wasn't clear, all you'd have to do is ask on their page.

    Sorry, it wasn't that at all. Just me being snarky.

    I actually got a grumbler of Vietnamese Speedway in Feb when I went down to pick up my Kopi Luwak and BA Old Knumbskull.

    Interesting thought, the last bottle of that I had was absolutely incredible. I may have to buy these.

    I have an extra BAkopi speedway stout. If someone in San Diego has an extra 2010 or 2011 Black Tuesday I would be willing to do an in person trade. If its 2011 I would need an extra bonus like a package of pop rocks or a burnt copy of Tyler the creator's Goblin cd

    You don't see this ending well, eh?

    They are having the release party this coming Sunday. You could go by for a taster and limit your exposure. I suspect the keg will probably not be kicked and will still be around the following Tuesday, but I've been wrong before when assuming stuff like that.

    For the amount of quality beers that Alesmith churns out, it's puzzling that this one isn't being given the benefit of the doubt before anyone has actually tasted it.
