In the depths of winter, we break out 8 of the heartiest brews in our vault. Join us for a day of beer/cider aged on wood.
Here’s a description of 2 of the headliners:
Firestone Walker 21st Anniversary 11.8% ABV – This is a blend of Firestone’s best beers, namely: Velvet Merkin (42%), Parabola (18%), Stickee Monkee (17%), Bravo (14%), Rum Helldorado (9%)
“This year’s Anniversary beer is a magical blend of five components. Chocolatey, mild Velvet Merkin takes the lead setting the stage full of lush malt and barrel driven texture, yet tempered alcohol strength. The rest of the components fall perfectly in line, backing Velvet Merkin up with luscious caramel complexity and a creamy malt symphony. The final component adds a new twist – the rum barrel-soaked and lean Helldorado makes its Anniversary debut, bringing a fresh splash of island-spice to a ridiculously balanced barrel-aged brew. This is one of those times that the whole truly equals more than the sum of its parts. I couldn’t be happier with the result.”
Oskar Blues Barrel Aged Ten Fidy 12.9% ABV –
“Aged through four seasons and from a blend of the top Bourbons around, this Ten Fidy has morphed into a monster of cranked up flavor. Espresso, burnt sugar, rich chocolate, caramel notes are now driving alongside the vanilla, oak, bourbon from the barrel and been smoothed out during maturation. Even at 12.9% (75 IBUs) it is cool and drinkable, letting each sip add more and more complexity”.
