Brett,

It was great to get a chance to meet you and talk to you in line at Binny's during last year's BCBS Release.

I had a few random questions for you:

• Any thoughts about this year's Huna Day at CCB? Curious from yours and GI's perspective on what happened and CCB's reaction.

• BCBS Varients - What have you guys tried in the past that really didn't work out even though you were really rooting for?

• Rare B2/v2/whatever - We all know of the rumored HH 45yr barrels that supposedly is holding to be the second edition of Rare. Can you comment on if it's just a test run or if you plan to release it on the same scale as you did Rare?

• How do you feel that you were largely in part of creating one of the most quintessential bourbon barrel-aged stouts?

I tip my hat to your Brett. Being able to mass produce such a quality beer isn't an easy feat and am extremely happy to see it hit distro all over the country. I look forward to the day to where I can go to my local liquor store and pick up a 4 pack of BCBS on the shelf.

Cheers!

Brett,

When I say 'mass produce' I mean more or less on the scale on which you're currently making BCBS - which is around 20-30k bbls if I recall. I'd certainly call that mass production especially for a bourbon barrel aged stout. How you manage quality control and over so many barrels is certainly a feat and am quite happy you've ramped up production and acquired a bigger barrel warehouse to keep pumping it out.
