Why is Jay dumping four barrels (~1,200 bottles) of beer down the drain?!

 

Jay was tasting through some barrels and found that these four barrels had ethyl acetate aromas that were too high for our liking. At low levels, ethyl acetate can have a nice fruity aroma. However, at higher concentrations, ethyl acetate can smell like nail polish, and is considered an off-flavor. 

 

When we find barrels that have this off-flavor, we don't blend them into your sours. We dump the barrels with off-flavors, and only blend the good ones.

Aparantly these guys know how to brew. Gold at GABF for Am Sour Ale. Gold at World Beer Cup for Am Sour Ale and a bronze at World Beer Cup for Flanders Red. That's pretty damn impressive.

The rare barrel.

Gives me more respect for the brewery.  I would rather them do that instead of trying to put out a sub par product.

and Jay is also hosting a sour beer show on the BN.  I believe in episode 1 he gave the grist bill for several of their sour beers.
