Three different new beers coming from Aspen Brewing:
(Aspen, CO) - For the winter season, we at Aspen Brewing Company decided to bring back an old favorite, 10th Mountain Stout, our “Imperialized” version of a classic English oatmeal stout. Eight types of malt and a blend of American and English Hops were masterfully combined by Head Brewer Chase Engel to create a decadent beer worthy of sipping by the fire or sharing with friends on top of Highland Bowl. This brew pours black as a cold winter night and at 87 IBU & 9.3% ABV it’s powerful enough to keep you warm too! Cheers.
10th Mountain Imperial Stout is available in select liquor stores in the Roaring Fork Valley and Aspen Brewing Company’s tap room @ 304 East Hopkins Avenue, Aspen CO 81611.
A long time coming, but the Aspen Brewing Company Temerity Series has arrived…now see if you can get some.
Brett Barrel Saison
We took our Great American Beer Festival silver medal award winning Saison, added a very special strain of Brettanomyces, and then put it into some gorgeous French oak wine barrels from our friends at Donelan Family Wines in Napa. Then we waited. And then we waited some more. After three seasons and many samplings we decided these barrels had come of age and it was time to release them into the wild. What we ended up with is a light, dry and effervescent brew that alters between layers of oak, jammy red wine, pie cherry, citrus zest, “bretty” sour and more.
Bourbon Barrel Double Conundrum Imperial Red Ale
This barrel-aged beer began its journey to you in a Colorado hop field late this summer when we picked 300 pounds of fresh cascade hops. The same day we married those “just-picked” hop flavors with a massive dose of premium pale malts, rye, and caramel malt-we could have stopped there but we didn’t. Instead, we laid this beer down to sleep for three months in Colorado whiskey barrels until it was ready to wake up and face the infamous Aspen winter. The short barrel aging lends to aggressive notes of bourbon, oak, vanilla and smoke that compliment and enhance the caramel and rye flavors.
