What was the GL Pease offering in the 2015 Chicago Bowl

[judcole]

I've been meaning to ask about this, but it has gotten away from me.

Last year's Chicago Bowl competition was Virginias and Va/pers. After the winner was announced, I filled some baggies and made notes of names, like everyone else.

I noted that the name of the GLP entrant - which I really enjoyed - was Threepenny Opera. I have never seen this offered for sale. Did I note the name incorrectly, or is it not available?

Yo Jud - that's the same experience I had with Threepenny Opera. I meant to query Greg on that the next time I'm in the Bay Area.

No idea but maybe that was the working name for Sixpence?

Why not just ask him ?

That's next - but because I wasn't completely sure I had the name right, I took this route first.
Thanks for the list,Winton.

I did ask Greg,and he replied. It's not been released; it's a ready-rubbed version of Sixpence. I'll have to give that a try.
