I guess things work out for a reason. Yesterday's Bell's beer had to be postponed, but it turns out that the Universe may have wanted me to drink a commemorative brew on a commemorative day. Literally minutes ago another Yabo was born into the world! And as things would turn out, I am drinking a Bell's Batch 10,000 Ale to celebrate the occasion.I've been on the phone with the family for a while now, and will be getting back to it shortly, but I needed to step away to put up something for today.
The important thing you need to know about this beer is that it officially ends the 'Batch Series' that Bell's has put out. At different times they did a "X,000" batch, but I'm not sure exactly which ones they made. What I love about this beer is the ingredients that were used. For the most part a typical beer will have 1-4 types of grains and hops (each) that are used. Batch 10,000 puts those amounts to shame...
This beer uses [101 grains/fermentables, 58 kettle hops, and 32 dry hops varieties.] Basically they use every possible grain and hop out there. And this beer is intense. I doubt that there is a more complex beer out there.
I gotta leave the post there, but rightfully so. It's time to celebrate life! Congratulations to my Aunt & Uncle, and 'Welcome!' to the newest member of the family!
