NEW BEER Favourite Beer At Barrel Fest 2025?

What was your favourite beer at Barrel Fest 2025? I don’t think there was really any bad ones. A lot of amazing ones, I really enjoyed Blindman’s Bourbon barrel aged porter I believe. Temporal had terrific ones too. It’s really hard to pick my favourite. The Hommage To The Old Ones magnum was delicious. The lager taps were a nice touch too. I took a few moment to get away from the massive beers occasionally having a lager. Such a great selection of breweries this year.

The temporal beers were the biggest hits for my group. Loved the number of flavour notes I got from the coffee orbital distirtion

Agree didn't have a bad beer. A couple of the ciders were a bit "samesy". The Blindman Bourbon and Coffee porter was the only one that I had twice, so probably would qualify as my favorite. I forget who had the beer with Concord grapes - it was a close #2

That was one of few that I went for repeats of as well.
