Blue Point's Caskmaster Jim Richards has created a cask inspired by Chapin's love of leftovers, which was his solution to cutting back on food waste.
It's called Barnyard Goulash and is a collaboration cask consisting of a variety of "leftover" imperial stouts from Blue Point's cellar.
Other cask highlights include:
- Blue Point: Tequila Sunrise Sunshine - 9.6 percent Imperial blonde ale conditioned over tequila oak chips, grenadine, and blood orange
- Blue Point x Warped Tour Band: Pop Punkin' Stout - Pumpkin Imperial Stout
- Ghost Brewing: Lady in the Orange Fur Coat - peach, apricot, and vanilla sour with dried papaya, mango, nectarine, and coconut
- Forgotten Boardwalk (NJ): a funnel cake vanilla cream ale conditioned over apple cider, cinnamon, brown sugar, and glazed donuts.
