120: Bourbon Barrel Bolita Release Party Pics....

Well everything went down without a hitch. The crowd was great and I personally had a heck of a time. There are certainly some things we could tweak for next time, but all in all I felt like it was a great event and we can't wait to put on another. I want to thank everyone that volunteered and worked so hard so that other people could have a great time. Mark, Toni, Theresa, Esme, Jen, Brian, Chris, Greg and anyone I am forgetting. Thank you so much for help making the release so fun.

I don't have a whole lot else to add except we have an event at International Beer Garden in Lutz on Wednesday the 1st of July and I hope to see some familiar faces. We'll have Cacao, Vanilla and Espresso Maduro along with Guava Grove. I'm also bringing one bottle of Campeador to test the carbonation on it. We tested Bourbon barrel aged Big Sound Scotch Ale today and the carbonation is spot on. We bottled Guava Grove today and Wayne is shooting for a higher carbonation level in keeping with the Saison style. Guava Grove came in right around 100 cases, plus there will be a decent amount of draft available.

I'll leave you with some pics Wayne took of the Bourbon barrel aged Bolita release:
