(North Charleston, SC) – We may be entering the dog days of summer but that’s not stopping Coast Brewing from releasing Barrel-Aged Blackbeerd Imperial Stout.

Per Coast Brewing’s blog: “We’re finally ready to release the 2010 barrel aged Blackbeerd! This year’s vintage was aged for almost 7 months in Buffalo Trace barrels. It will be available for sample as well as purchase on Saturday, June 19. […]

Bottle Limit will be 5 for the 8:30 and 9:00 bracelet crowd. Open tour hours (with a bottle limit of 4) will begin at 10 and end at Noon. Bottles are $15 and we can only accept Cash at this time. Blackbeerd (as well as our 32/50 Kolsch, HopArt IPA and Belafonte will be available for samples).”

The brewery instituted a bracelet system during its tours this week but, as noted above, you can still get bottles if you missed them.

BA Blackbeerd is rated in the 99th percentile of all Imperial Stouts on RateBeer. Worth seeking out . . .
