    I've heard they'll be in the $25 range. I also heard a rumor that the barrels used were the same JD barrels used for the JD Mex. Cakes. Would love to find out either way if this is true from someone at Westbrook.

    The tag worked. That's pretty cool. It's my picture. So first the barrels were NOT reused Mexican Cake barrels. These barrels were filled in January before the Mexican Cake barrels were even dumped. We actually reused the JD Mexican Cake barrels (there were only 2 of them) and filled them with an Old Ale we did a few months back. These barrels came from Jeppe. He has his barrels and we have ours. So the barrels we used were actually blacked out on the sides where it would have any information, I can post a pic if you want to see them. Just like the Mexican Cake we only aged the base beer and then we racked the into the brite tank and added the almonds and vanilla so the flavors would be fresh. We yielded about 350 cases. It was supposed to be picked up by 12% on Friday but the truck couldn't make it on time so it will go out on Monday. As far as price and distribution they is out of my hands. All I know is it tastes pretty darn good. Any other questions just post them here.

    Mike

    Great news. I'll have to be on the look out for this.. Assuming ATL will get it's share, since Westbrook seems to be taking care of us over here pretty well!

    Tag worked.
    12% distro and our distro is different. We have no control over what evil twin you get. We get you your Westbrook stuff, 12% distribution gives you your evil twin

    Ahhh.. Gotcha. Well, then we also get our evil twin stuff.. Wasn't aware you both used different distro. I'll be looking for it. Tell them we are fresh out of IBB anyways, and send more with the barrel aged stuff.

    Morganelli's still has IBB. I will be looking out for BBIBB though.
