This hop forward American Strong Ale returns to the extremes of pre-prohibition. Rising from Whistle Pig Rye Whiskey barrels with resinous hops, this spirit’s cask ale is reminiscent of apricots dipped in maple Bourbon. Enjoy as is, or cellar up to a year for more robust malt richness.

Barleywine-style Ale? These brews are only wine-like in alcoholic content; they are all beer. In fact they are biggest baddest brews in the Pale Ale family. Malt flavors, hop bitterness and aroma, yeasty esters, everything has been turned up to ’11’. We fill the mash tun to the top with four of our favorite malts, then dose it with enough of our favorite resinous, piney and fruity hops to balance. English Ale yeast takes it from there. But we’re not done yet! We then age this flavorful ale in oak bourbon barrels to drive the complexity past the horizon.

Brewed to mark the winter solstice, the darkest and shortest day in the northern hemisphere, our imperial stout is a fitting tribute. We mash enough grain to overflow our oversized mash/lauter tun, augment it with raw cane sugar and belgian-style dark candi syrup, balance it with abundant, tasty hops and then feed the resulting wort to our favorite ale yeast. It is conditioned twice as long as our regular offerings to let the huge flavors marry.
