    Yeah, I reckon it is.

    One of my favorite annual BA releases. Very eager to get a fresh pour in my glass and stuff a few into the cellar.

    You might even get the chance to try it on draught if you haven't already .
    Stove Pipe cans were made for beers like this, imho.

    I stumbled into BA Ten Fidy once a date. It was her round to pay. The bartender warned me it was $12, but I went through with my order.

    No regrets.

    Top 5 best dates I've been on even though I never heard back from her. :rolling_eyes:

    I doubt that I'll ever see that so I'll be satisfied with what I get. Btw, I haven't seen the regular TEN FIDY in months. What's up with that??

    Missouri is the "show me state", so feel free to prove your claim with some real-world experience for me :wink:

    Isn't it only released once a year?

    Even hitting my area once last year and the yr prior, I thought it was considered ‘wide’. News release seems dated lol.

    I actually don’t care for the barrel influence here. I’ve let one or two cans go unfinished (drinking solo can do that to you). Regular 1050 will remain in my heart forever though. The BA version was a nice one or two year try but I won’t do that again. Unless of course the place I buy it at sells it in 4 packs for $13 lol.

    I ran through some black note and parabola and high west a weekend or two back, and the barrel character is just not doing it for me lately.

    For whatever it's worth, our market sees Ten Fidy pretty heavily when it gets released and then tricks down to a random 4-pack here and there several months later. That timeline seems to be getting shorter each release.

    My last one was a soy bomb, I can't get that smell and taste to go away. Ugh, worst beer experience in a long time, well some of he local stuff here is real shit sometimes too.

    I can buy a four pack of Central Waters BA stout or a 19.2oz can from Oskar Blues for the same money. I bought a can last year for the experience, but won't ever do it again. Great beer, rough price point.

    $12/19.2oz for BBA Ten Fidy is "rough?" Yeah, rough for all the other brewers who can't compete.
