To love The Bruery is to love barrel-aged beers. We took it upon ourselves to take it a step further in our barrel-aging expertise and work directly with some of our favorite distillers from across the country for this collection. We received as-fresh-as-they-get barrels from our friends at Westward Whiskey, Newport Craft Distilling, Balcones Distilling, and Sagamore Spirits, then aged the distillers’ choice of base stout for upwards of a year until it reached barrel-aged perfection. The result? Unbelievable complexity, unparalleled collaboration, and unforgettable beers. So go ahead— knock twice and give the password ‘unbelievable’ for entry into this, well, unbelievable collaboration of a collection.
