Today’s the day! Two big barrel aged imperial st Today’s the day! Two big barrel aged imperial stouts being released at all locations: Apple Brandy Barrel Aged Awesome Jenkins 🍎 Barrel Aged Stout 14.2% ABV Aged in: Apple Brandy Barrels Aged for: 18 months Back in January of 2020 we lucked across some apple brandy barrels. Our vendor couldn't (well, wouldn't) tell us the distillery that they had originated from, but when we popped out the bungs we were greeted by aromas of bright green apple and deep, rich oak. We filled the barrels in February of 2020 and laid them down in our Chandler street barrel room until September of 2021. Apple Brandy Barrel Aged Awesome Jenkins greets you with caramel covered apple and honey before giving way to milk chocolate & roast. Decidedly smooth for 14.2%, Apple Brandy Jenkins is ready to drink immediately or should mature for years to come. Soft Black Stars ✨ Barrel Aged Imperial Stout 12.5% abv Aged in: Basil Hayden Bourbon Barrels Aged for: 22 months This beer was brewed at our Elmwood pub back in the late summer of 2019. Most of that batch was kegged up fresh & sent to the UK but we filled a few Basil Hayden barrels & hid them away to see what time would do. Twenty two months later we're pleased to introduce Soft Black Stars. Tons of cocoa & oak up front with a rich, almost fruity dark malt character greets you up front. Flavors of sweet caramel, toasted nuts, vanilla and dark chocolate mix with the silky mouthfeel.

Prepare for a flashback this tomorrow as we resurr Prepare for a flashback this tomorrow as we resurrect one of our debut beers from our grand opening back in 2016 alongside two new brews! Dummy · Dry Hopped Belgian Pale Ale with Brettanomyces 5.8% Dummy was one of the beers we launched back in 2016 when we opened. It hasn't been around in a long, long time but we brought it back in celebration of our 5th anniversary. This iteration of Dummy underwent a primary fermentation with our house saison yeast and then a secondary fermentation with one of our favorite strains of Brettanomyces. It was dry hopped with New Zealand grown Nelson Sauvin hops. This beer is bottle (and keg!) conditioned. Dummy is dry with notes of orange peel, leather, gooseberry & bretty funk. It pairs wonderfully with rich foods such as charcuterie & cheese. Tre Luppolo · Italian Pilsner 5.4% The latest in our series of Italian Pilsners. Brewed with Mittelfruh, Styrian Fox & Wai-iti. Lagered for 6 weeks and naturally carbonated. Notes of lightly toasted bread, spring flowers and light noble hop herbalness. Spelunkenheimer · Bourbon Barrel Aged Adambier 9.6% This particular batch of Spelunkenheimer was brewed in April of 2020. We didn't know what the future held but the sudden COVID-related slowdown allowed us to experiment with a few ideas we wouldn't normally have had time for. After 6 weeks fermenting in stainless, Spelunkenheimer was transferred into Willet bourbon barrels & allowed to mature for 14 months. The resulting beer is velvety with notes of chocolate, caramel, bourbon, smoke, oak and vanilla. Available at all locations September 10 · preorder Spelunkenheimer now via the Oznr app!

Adambiers are a bit hard to find. A more or less e Adambiers are a bit hard to find. A more or less extinct German style, they were revived in the USA by Portland, Oregon's Hair of the Dog Brewery. HOTD's Adambier is one of our Head Brewer's favorite beers ever - rich, malty, somewhat smoky and delightfully strong. Spelunkenheimer is a tribute to HOTD's nugget of perfection, built on a base of German and Canadian malts and bittered with Cascade grown in the pacific northwest.
