“When they first suggested we age our QUAD in bourbon barrels, I said, ‘THAT’S BLASPHEMY!’ ….and so it is!” –Dan Weyerbacher
Blasphemy is our Quad aged in Bourbon Barrels. Blasphemy should have gentle vanilla oaky notes which complement rather than supersede the complex qualities that already make QUAD such an incredible beer.
We used to make this available in a 12 oz bottle back in the day—well, ok not THAT long ago. The 12 oz version of Blasphemy was filtered and subtle enough not to overpower the Quad. We retired it a few years back. Click here to see details about the 1st generation of Blasphemy.
2011 bore witness that beer miracles actually can happen: Blasphemy has returned!
This ’refreshed’ version is actually fully bottle conditioned and available only in a 750 ml cork and cage package. Blasphemy is available seasonally only and is extremely limited… we expect to brew it roughly in time for May of each year.
Oh yeah… it’s still 11.8% ABV. ;^)
CHEERS!
You gotta love it….. CHEERS !
Found a bottle 2 weeks ago. UNBELIEVABLE!!! Unfortunately it is proving impossible to find more. I am thinking about taking a road trip up to Easton on Saturday. Is there any available at the Brewery?
Unfortunately, there is none here. We’ve been out since we made it!
Acme Fresh Market in Montrose, Ohio has about 7 bottles left and they are not selling. I bought one today because I know how good Weyerbacher products are…Roadtrip! lol
Today was my lucky day, scored 3 bottles, can’t wait to enjoy them!
If you in Tampa area we still have few btls

Just cracked open a 2011 Blasphemy that I have been sitting on for a few months. OUTSTANDING!!!!! Thank you for bringing this one back guys. How many more months until May?
Not too many! Cheers!
I ordered three from New Jersey, had one, and immediately ordered three more, and I’m now wishing I had just gotten a whole case. This stuff is amazing.
Thanks, Russ! We’re making more this year…. cheers!
Had 2 bottles, enjoyed immensely, now a dreamy memory. Heresy though is even more tantalizing!!
i have an 06 or 07 (i forget!) blasphemy still sitting in my cellar. wonder what it’ll taste like when i open it?!
Has this year’s been released yet?
We’ll be shipping it in about a month or so… but with a bottle conditioned big beer like this, it may take a little longer.
Is this years batch aged in Maker’s Mark barrels or was that last year?
Last years happened to be mostly that brand of barrel purely by coincidence. Our barrel aged beers aren’t aged in any specific brand / barrel. As a rule, we use a blend of all different brands of barrels from many different distillers.
what’s the price for Blasphemy up at the brewery?
$7.00 / bottle… a discount is applied if 24 or more of any size bottle are purchased together.
what’s the latest on ship date?
It’s begun shipping! VA, PA, SC, NE, OH, MD, N, FL so far!
I have a case that I bought with my three cases of Seventeen two days ago. I was taken with how smooth the first one I drank was. This evening I had another to verify.
This evening’s had another purpose – to compare it with my five years old Blasphemy in 12 oz. bottles. It is without doubt the same elixir, but the older one is infused with vanilla, and deserves more attention and reverence during the sipping.
Maybe the Cork and Cage will age similarly.
I can’t help but think that the Cork and Cage was an about turn in the face of protests and pleas on retiring the original and an attempt to save face.
Blasphemy in GA! Finally! Scored my first bottle tonight, shooting for 7-8 more over the weekend. This is easily one of the best beers I’ve ever had.
I had a 2008 vintage yesterday of this glorious beer, absolutely amazing with age on it. A+++++++++++++
Still waiting to see it in MN. Any idea how long it will be before I can obtain this elixer of life?
It was shipped to Capitol on 7/31… should be to you within this month!
Had my first blasphemy tonight bought in Lebanon pa. Drove two hours home to Millville pa before I could drink it. Fantastic! Would drive the four hours for another!
By far my favorite Weyerbacher brew! Take the already amazing quad and put it on oak! Big, Bold, Boozy and delicious vanilla oak Profile. My store ordered enough to have this seasonal beer year-round! Good looks!
Oh, May i suggest adding a little bit of a lambic beer (specifically a kriek ale) and you have a way better version of Ommegang’s Three Philosophers?
James, I doubt they’re gonna mess with Blasphemy (again). We’re really happy with it now and donkt want to make it more like anyone else’s beer… it’s bourbon-barrel-aged QUAD for cryin’ out loud! ;^) What more can you ask? (Besides making it more like something else that already exists!) Celebrate the diversity! Want oak? US! Want lambic splash? Big O! Want a hybrid? Mix some beers on your own! :^)
Lol, I wouldn’t want you guys to mess with it, its perfect. I was making a suggestion to people at home. I mixed the the Blasphemy with a splash of Lindeman’s kriek after visting ommegang while camping upstate over the summer. Tried it side by side with a growler of the three philosophers I bought. Blasphemy with the kriek was so much better!
@James Three Philosophers isn’t that great. LOL What makes Weyerbacher great is that you guys do your own thing….James. Drank my 2nd bottle of Blasphemy about 2 weeks ago. Talk about getting your money’s worth. I sipped on it for about 4 hours.
Looking for a few bottles in the Philadelphia area, never had it but have heard good things! Anyone know any place?
Hey! Philly! Sound off if you know where some is! Cheers!
Is “Blasphemy” the new name for “Quad”?
No! Blasphemy is barrel-aged Quad! Click on seasonals and you’ll see each beer!
have one cooling in the fridge right now for MoDay: have been cellering in for ~18 months. Very excited!
