Wooden Owl • Madeira & Whisky Barrel-aged Brown   8oz $10 /  4oz $6

Initially a Madeira Wine cask and then used to age Irish whiskey, this barrel made a journey across the sea to find its way to our warehouse. The complex notes between the oak barrel itself, wine, and whiskey lent itself well to aging this blend of barleywine and triple bock. The result is a strong beer that showcases a rich butterscotch and caramel candy sweetness with aromas of cherries, dates, and plums, backed by vanilla, whiskey, and wood tannins. One of the best, most unique beers we’ve created!

Passion Fruit Elixir • Fruited Pale Sour 12oz $12 /  8oz $9 /  4oz $5

A favorite from our cellar, this pale sour is a mixed culture fermentation aged in oak barrels before resting in steel on a massive dose of passion fruit. The result is dry, sour, and bursting with tropical passion fruit over notes of peach and orange zest.
