2/5 To-Go Beer List

Hello friends!

Below are the beers that will be available to go from our tasting room this week, while supplies last.

6 packs- Cans of Zoe, A Pale Mosaic, PorterCulture, River Beer, Haze County IIPA and a fresh new Batch of Dispensary IPA

Crowlers- fill a crowler of any of our 16 beers on tap, prices vary based on style.  We’ve got a great selection of beers available for Crowler and Growler fills including a brand new batch of our super popular Raspberry Kettle Sour.  We’ve been working with our friends at White Mountain Yogurt for well over a year now developing our quick souring program utilizing the bacterial culture present in White Mountains yogurt products. The blend of bacteria has been a fantastic souring agent for the beer and provides a depth of acidity that we haven’t been able to achieve using raw grain or lactobacillus cultures.  The tartness is super clean, refreshing and bright!  At the end of fermentation we add a load of raspberries to the beer before packaging.  This has been a taproom favorite for some time and we’re pumped to finally be able to fill a crowler or growler for you to take home!

Volumes of Oak: This week we’ll also be releasing a brand new bourbon barrel aged beer.  Most of our barrel aged releases involve multiple barrels of the same base beer.  This round we blended Heaven Hill Bourbon barrels that had been aging our PorterCulture as well as a few barrels that had been aging a Stout that we brewed last year.  The blend we created delivers a complex nose full of toasted coconut, vanilla, dark chocolate, coffee and just a hint of roast.  The finish is velvety smooth with a just a touch of alcohol heat. Perfect for the cold front that should be hitting our fair city later this week!  This batch of Volumes of Oak will be available in 10 oz pours in our tasting room as well as crowlers and growlers to go (32oz only).  You can also get a sneak peak of this beer at a really kick ass event we’re participating in at Bangers called the Capitol Wright Flight Fight!  We’ll be going head to head with 4 other breweries distributed by Capitol Wright to offer two separate flights.  There will be two different flights available at the event showcasing IPA’s and Barrel Aged Beers.  Each brewery will have one IPA and one Barrel Aged Beer on each flight. It’s sure to be a rad time and we hope to see you there!

 

These beers should be available throughout the weekend but follow our Twitter and Instagram feeds for up to date availability.

Cheers!
