In 3 Liter Bottles!!!

We get more emails about a certain Special Release of ours than any other... you could say we get Double the amount. However, the wait, the longing, the yearning... that anticipation... is almost over. The 2004 Double Bastard Ale is around the corner!

Don't ask to be pinched, you're not dreaming. But when you taste this lacerative mutha of a beer, you'll be knocked into dreamland! This malt & hop monster is not for the timid however, so beware.

Once again we will be offering the 2004 Double Bastard Ale in limited 22oz bottles and 3Litre bottles which will be hitting the shelves the first week of November. That means all the hoarders, collectors, and stockpilers out there had better start clearing room in the 'fridge or cellar!

Evolution is good. Things change and often change for the better. This year our Arrogant Bastard Ale has changed... more like metamorphasized... into a whole new creation: Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale! What was once an experiment quickly became a cult classic... now it's here for YOU!

The twist (we always have a twist don't we?) is that it will only be available in the coolest of all packaging: The 3Litre bottle (and a limited number of kegs)! That's right, this year's 3Litre Arrogant Bastard Ale bottle will be filled with Oaked Arrogant Bastard Ale!

Be sure to check out our website for updates on locations, release dates, and other important info like the all-important first growler fill. Remember, this beer has serious wood... just ask your Mom!

I'm looking forward to the Oaked much more than the Double.

Everytime I see those 3 liter bottles in the store, my liver starts to hurt...

I don't think tough beer swilling men should be using the word "giddy".

The 2003 was noticeably less hoppy than the 2002. I liked the 2003 better, personally.

If you can, buy one and let it sit for a year. It mellows out nicely.

In other news, we should start seeing SN Celebration Ale in about a month :thumb:

Oh baby.

Only in 3L bottles? Damnit, I'll have to share with friends (aka brew moochers). Or maybe I can transfer unfinished portions to a growler. Call me stingy, but no one ever chips in for beer when I buy.

LOL! And here i thought that was all marketing BS. :o:

I think they come in the 22oz'ers too, at least that is what I am gonna hit my local "dealer" up to order.

I saw a distributor was selling the 3L bottles for $60, and I don't have that kind of coin to drop.

They should be out in 22's as well. The 3L bottles are mostly promo items, they seem to pop up one or two per store.

Word. It's just another hoppy micro, nothing special to me. Then again, if hops is your thing, drink up.

Which is too hoppy? I love hoppy beer, but never thought of Arrogant Bastard as being very hoppy... I have never had either of the special versions though.

I'll pay closer attention next time. I've had neither of those ales. I was referring to the standard AB ale.

3L - $60? I must have missed something here...

I love Brickskellers, but be warned the menu is much larger than their stock. They only had about half of what I wanted to try last time I was there. But in the end I tried to much, worst hangover ever. The funny thing was I didn't want to get drunk, I just wanted to taste more good beers.

I know. They entered GBOWR with 1072 kinds in stock. I've heard it sometimes gets as low as only 600 or 700 beers in stock. What am I going to do if they only have 600 kinds of beer in stock? :p
