Great Divide released the 2009 version of their Barrel-Aged Hibernation yesterday at both their tap room and in area liquor stores. Only 492 bottles of this beer were brewed and only 24 cases are available at the brewery. The rest is being distributed to Denver area liquor stores (I know Argonaut already has a few bottles). Due to the small number of bottles available at Great Divide they've decided to stagger the release to allow everyone a fair chance at getting some. The plan is for 2 cases (just 24 bottles!) to be made available each day until they're all gone on Saturday, November 21st. There is a 2 per person limit and each 750 ml bottle is retailing for $25. The brewery expects to release two other barrel-aged beers (Old Ruffian and Yeti) in November and December, respectively.
From Great Divide:
Last winter we took our Hibernation Ale and set it to age in Stranahan's Whiskey barrels. This fall we hand filled 492 750mL champagne-style bottles and set them aside to bottle condition. Once they were ready to drink, our packaging technicians hand labeled and hand foiled each and every bottle. We finished off the process by hand numbering each bottle
