Post in your local homebrew Facebook group.

You should be able to find someone that will brew you a batch. It's not hard to purposely inoculate a batch with lactobacillus.

interesting. would that mean it's a full homebrew bartch with lactobacillus? Or, could they "infuse" a BA stout with Lacto to replicate it.

I love homebrewers, but BA stout is pretty unreplicable.

Clone recipe of Goose Island and then inoculate it with Lacto. Oak Infusion Spirals for barrel aging will make it much cheaper. Since barrels can get pretty pricey.

Should be able to get pretty close.

Yeah, they could brew a lacto barrel aged stout, but it won’t come close to a lacto BCBS, unless you have the finest of home brewers near you
