It’s that time of year, when Barrel-Aged Stout fans are faced with a choice; Ride the hype train to Bourbon County, or take the time to seek out a true craft brew with deeper Bourbony richness. A dark brew so hard to come by, you’ll find a picture of the bottle proudly displayed on beer geeks’ Instagram pages — that is, if they’re lucky enough to track it down.

Bourbon County Brand Stout is everywhere, and it’s a great beer, but it’d be better with more Bourbon! We’re your small-batch hunters, and all you have to gather is your wits to get today’s 4.32 Untappd rated, 12 month Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout. Crafted by GABF’s Mid-Sized Brewery of the Year pFriem, this beer was named the #4 Wood-Aged Beer in the World by Beer Connoisseur for the way its boozy, oaky vanilla-caramel seduces the palate.  

Dark Beer fiends struggle to find today’s brew — outside of three tiny bottle shops, pFriem’s BBA Imperial Stout doesn’t leave the Pacific Northwest. On the flipside, you can walk into pretty much any store in the country that sells beer and find BCBS.  

For Tavour members, today’s choice is a no brainer: pFriem’s BBA Imperial Stout leaves the big beer stranded on its island and delivers a Bourbon boldness those water birds can’t compete with. It’ll make the widely-distributed BCBS fowl bawl.

Today’s 2018 vintage is rated 4.32 on Untappd from the lucky few who’ve tasted it.
