For everyone saying that any recipe change needs a new entry, I thought the policy here was that beers that change slightly but are still sold as the same beer without any attempt to distinguish it from last years version can stay under the same entry, but when a brewer specifically changes the beer and lets everyone know and that they intended to make it a slightly different version of the beer, it can have a new entry.

It sounds like a new entry to me. If a completely different coffee is added, it will change the beer in many ways, much like a different barrell.

I’m going to play devil’s advocate here and ask if the change was Brand A bog standard arabica to Brand B bog standard arabica, would anyone even care? Would the brewery even say anything? Do something high profile and people get excitable. Do something low profile - even if it is a more substantive difference - and nobody notices nor cares. We can’t set policy based on the profile of the beer, the brewer or the event.
As for this particular beer, I’ll have to consider what the precedents are and make a call accordingly. If it’s on sale at O’Brien’s that’s part of it. The recipe question is the next part.

I think the intent of the brewer has to have something to do with it. They are specifically releasing this as a different beer. If tomorrow they changed Speedway to use Kopi Luwak from here on out and continued to just called it Speedway Stout, I don’t think it would warrant a new entry.
Of course no brewer is going to try to get people excited over a change to a different stanrdard grade coffee, but if one wanted to, I think that would warrant a new entry as well.
Just my opinion at least.

They did do a change from "Brand A to Brand B" about a year ago with little fanfare...

Yeah, in 2006 (I think) they switched from Starbucks to Intelligentsia, though the coffee isn’t a huge part of DL, imho.
