Curmudgeon Old Ale
Our Curmudgeon Old Ale is moving up in our release schedule this year, and will be available for two months: March and April.
Think classic seafaring ports, local pubs, and weathered old fishermen. This old ale is brewed with molasses and an insane focus on the malt bill, then oak-aged. The result is a strong, rich, malty delight that’s deceptively smooth and drinkable. 9.8% ABV, 50 IBUs
Suggested pairings for Curmudgeon Old Ale include roasted pork, cassoulet, Stilton, gorgonzola and pungent blue cheeses.
Our Next Backstage Series Release: Doom
Doom is unleashed when our award-winning specialty Imperial IPA,Double Trouble, is aged in bourbon barrels for four months to create a distinct flavor experience. So, while Double Trouble is brewed to turn your world upside down, Doom is brewed to tear it apart: pungent hops conspire with boozy bourbon notes to send your senses spinning.
Doom will be released in limited quantities across our distribution footprint beginning on Monday, April 22. On-site, Doom will be a pre-ticketed, six-day release, running from Sunday, April 14 (DAY #1), through Friday, April 19 (DAY #6).
