Second week was at Hopcat and preceded their Wood & Wild Fest with 5 Woodford Reserve barrel-aged beers which included the Pike 51 Temporary Saint Quad and White Flame Kentucky Kiss Scotch ale also tapped the previous week at Harmony. New contenders were Hopcat’s own Bourbon Barrel Fornicator, a maple dopplebock, as well as Brewery Vivant’s Devastation, a barrel-aged take on their Trebuchet double IPA, and Perrin’s not to be missed Malted Milk Ball Imperial Porter. Devastation was the first of the 5 beers at Hopcat to sell out!
The third and final week of the challenge took place at the newly expanded B.O.B.’s Brewery. To really top things off the B.O.B. offered not one but three different barrel-aged offerings of their own beers, along with previous contenders from White Flame and the Scottish Schilling from Jaden James. Also debuting was a barrel-aged Quad from the Hideout. The B.O.B.’s own offerings included two Imperial Stouts, one aged in Woodford Reserve barrels, the other in Journeyman Barrels, and my favorite, a 1-year old aged Barley Wine. The chef was also offering up Bourbon Barrel Brisket along with the brand-new food menu. If you’ve not been to the brewery recently, I encourage you to stop in and check out all of the improvements!
