It is with sadness that we must announce the passing of Big Bad Baptist. Just like the coffee, cocoa nibs and hop content residing in Mr. Baptist, we are both bitter and sweet in our memories of Big. Mr. Baptist was tapped about 2 weeks ago and spent his all too brief time in the Gathersphere entertaining dozens of lucky beer connoisseurs. Bad will be remembered as a mouthful of boozy, silky, coffee, bourbon, toffee and caramel flavored high-powered imperial of the most imperial kind. Born in Denver, Colorado, of Epic lineage, Bad spent his first several months in a bourbon barrel. After gaining sufficient insouciance, Bad was transported to Wisconsin and eventually to his final resting place, Gather Americana Restaurant, where he spent his all too brief career bedazzling dozens of wagging tongues. Destined to lead his flocks to blissful happiness, Bad was known for his internal strength--truly a bad boy in a small glass. Bad was preceded at tap #14 by Rusty Red of Oso and will be succeeded by another barrel aged imperial, this one an IPA known as White Out of Hinterland. While we mourn Mr. Baptists passing, there is solace in the thought that alas, it was his own goodness that caused his early demise. We like to think that Bad is now chief confessor in Tap Handle Heaven.
