Number 3! Next up in the raffle, to benefit the upcoming cancer Walk of Hope, was graciously donated by the amazing @kapskup ! 🙏 🩵. Before I get into the beer details, a bit more about Michelle’s Place… We are very local to Michelle’s Place. When our cancer journey started on Christmas Eve of 2025, we were quickly informed about this local cancer resource center, (but with very little information). We heard the word, “support”, and just assumed it was a bunch of people sitting around in a group talking about dying. We did meet with various counselors and psychiatrists, through our hospital and insurance plan, but every single one of them left us feeling worse off…(Every session was basically, “you’re dying, get these things in order” 😕). Two major surgeries and five months of aggressive chemotherapy later, we decided to stop by Michelle’s Place, to check things out. As soon as we entered, we were met with loving warmth. Yes, they asked us about Beth’s condition. But, this place was different. Instead of getting the usual, “I’m so sorry”, then nothing else…We got, “I’m sorry, these are the many ways we will try to help you and services we offer”. Everyone there took their time with us, walked us around slowly. Treated us like people, and not terminal patients. For the first time, since Christmas Eve, we felt a warm embrace. The this reason alone, they will always have my support. I’ve mentioned some of the various services offered at Michelle’s Place, and I’ll discuss them a bit more over the next month. Back to the beer….If you’ve followed me over the years, you know I’m a huge barrel aged beer fanatic. And, to me, @privatepressbrewing is one of the best! This amazing set includes 3 bottles of their anniversary-type beer, (each year slightly different from the previous). These bottles are from the membership only era, and all three are amazing! (Thank you Justin! 🙏🩵). Use the link, in the profile, to enter. $5 - 1 entry. $20 - 5 entries. $50 - 14 entries. $100 - 30 entries. $200 - 62 entries! All proceeds go directly to/benefit Michelle’s Place. Check my original post announcement for further details. #fuckcancer #craftbeer #cancer #beer

@sideprojectbrew x @privatepressbrewing - WITH BRAD Style: Barrel Aged Strong Ale By Side Project Brewing, Saint Louis, Missouri, USA 🇺🇸 x Private Press Brewing, Santa Cruz, California, USA 🇺🇸 ABV: 14% My rating: 4.8/5 A very elegant blend of pecan barleywine and stout. Multiple barrels and multiple layers. Dark chocolate, nuts, pecan, caramel. The body is velvety and a pleasure on the palate. Very complex and layered.

I reviewed my first @privatepressbrewing bottle over six years ago. That unlabeled b0 of Life is Round still resonates. Starting an exclusively stout and barleywine invite only society was ambitious even by 2020 pre pandemic standards. The through line for all of the PP bottles is this: zero compromises. I don’t mean this in a hack corporate branding way. There’s no “OUR STORY” on the label with a trite anecdote about the problem they are trying to solve. Private press makes bottles for people who mean to be drinking them. They’re expensive, elusive, challenging, and complex. They haven’t had to cave to making 4 packs of strata slurry. If you don’t want their beers then some maladjusted very particular person will buy it in a cellar sale. The austere nature of these barleywines isn’t a bug it’s a feature. The 19.4% abv alone is enough to draw the wince inducing “IS IT EVEN STILL BEER AT THAT POINT I SEND MY EX MONEY ON CASH APP BC SHES BLOCKED ME EVERYWHERE ELSE.” This has a 4.6 on untappd and none of the reviews are some accidental whim. It is good because Brad Clark makes beers for a super niche consumer who is deep into the beer scene. Twin flames amirite. This does its best to hide the triple barrel and fusel heat in waves of raisinettes. Three racked casks just draws and saturates so much that Anchorage Gabe looks onward knowing this plight. There’s no such thing as bakers Werthers but that butterscotch is tempered with waves of tannic bitterness akin to Riesin candy. The gumline has waves of separating halvah/rugelach. If we had some black and white cookie we could sell this at Jewish delis but no beer is perfect. This emerging genre of hyper casking commands insane time, care, and capital. These are expensive bottles, tiny and furious. The person who strives so hard for nonchallance misses gems like this in life. You can’t shrug and pretend you don’t care, egalitarian with a Coors banquet, that passivity is not what this type of beer is about. This is for weirdos deep in the game. Go to the PP pasting room and listen to fusion jazz on vinyl. Theres 3 beers like this on tap and they’re $14 for a 4 ounce pour and that’s i

Nuovi arrivi in cantina in questi giorni. Tra le new entries spiccano tre bottiglie ascrivibili al grande gruppo di birre che, scherzosamente e affettuosamente, vengono chiamate “catramoni” dai beer geek. In questo gruppo eterogeneo rientrano diversi stili (Imperial Stout, Barleywine, Stock Ale, in tutte le loro declinazioni), tutti accomunati da elevata gradazione alcolica, e che, a seconda del trattamento ricevuto post fermentazione (a volte con un passaggio di mesi in botti che in passato hanno contenuto soprattutto super alcolici, le cosiddette barrel aged) o dell’aggiunta in termini di ingredienti inseriti in fase di fermentazione, assumono tratti e caratteristiche molto diverse di caso in caso. Possono diventare piatte e con pochissima schiuma, possono essere più o meno dense e oleose, possono essere utilizzati ingredienti (cioccolato, sciroppo d’acero, cocco, vaniglia, addirittura marsh mallows, biscotti e prodotti dolciari interi) che portano sentori aggiuntivi a quelli dati dai processi chimici che si attivano durante l’arco della produzione, ma tutte sono birre importanti, inclinate verso il dolce, cariche di sentori sia al naso che in bocca e che sono da bere fuori pasto o in condivisione con amici. Queste tre sono tra gli emblemi della grande capacità dei nord americani di lavorare su questo tipo di stili: Life is Round di @privatepressbrewing dalla California, un blend di Barleywine passati in diverse botti ex-Bourbon, Planifolia di @phasethreebrew dall’Illinois, un blend di Imperial Stout che hanno passato dai 17 ai 22 mesi in diverse botti ex-Bourbon e a cui viene aggiunta vaniglia, e infine Orchid dei canadesi @nanocinco , un Black Barleywine invecchiato 14 mesi in botti di ex-Rye Whiskey e a cui anche in questo caso viene aggiunta vaniglia di due tipologie diverse.
