Today we get to see the apostrophe's gone wild with release No 16 in the Avery Brewing Barrel-Aged Series. This is Ross’s’s’ Melange Barrel-Aged Wild Ale and no that’s not a typo. Ross’s’s’ Melange I an ale brewed with grape must and aged in Chardonnay barrels, it will be packaged in 12oz bottles (limited to 105 cases)and come in at 7.89% ABV. I’m sure there’s a story behind the multiple apostrophe’s, but based on the label I’d say Ross is their pessimistic warehouse forklift operator.
