Episode 624 - Barrel-Aged Hop Butcher

Compared to the pace at which Hop Butcher releases IPAs, their barrel-aged offerings might as well be Halley’s Comet. But when they do release a big beer aged in barrels, it’s absolutely worth tracking down, just like the four beers on this episode. We continue our Barrel-Aged Winter with these Hop Butcher for the World beers that saw limited release from their taproom over the last year or so and try not to get yelled at by bourbon Facebook groups in the process. Also, we consider walking a mile in condiment shoes; Craig somehow still has faith in ice cream beers; and Ryan’s on the lookout for a Beefy Boy.
