From Anderson Valley Brewing:
Boonville, CA (August 4th, 2014) Anderson Valley Brewing Company announced today it will release its
first bourbon barrel-aged pumpkin ale as part of the acclaimed Wild Turkey® Barl
Series. Limited shipments of Pinchy Jeek Barl 22oz bottles and draft have begun making their
way to the brewery’s footprint of domestic wholesalers.
“Our pumpkin ale recipe lends itself incredibly well to barrel-aging,” says Brewmaster Fal Allen.
“The silky body and sweet caramel flavors provide balance for the 8.5% ABV, while additions of
cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice compliment the hints of coconut, bourbon, and vanilla imparted
by oak aging. It’s a full bodied beer with a smooth, creamy finish that would make for an
excellent pairing with pumpkin pie or as the base for an ice cream beer float.”
“As we enter the second year of this exclusive barrel-aged partnership, I’m continually
impressed by the complexity and depth of flavor that Fal, Andy, and the Anderson Valley
brewing team have been able to create using our bourbon barrels,” says Wild Turkey Master
Distiller Jimmy Russell. “We both share a rich history, a passion for our craft, and an
unparalleled commitment to quality—it’s part of an ongoing story that I feel resonates with
both craft beer and bourbon aficionados alike.”
Aged for several months in Wild Turkey® 101 barrels, this limited production of Pinchy Jeek Barl
will be available in the trade through October, making it the perfect complementary offering to
the brewery’s barrel-aged series which includes the highly popular Anderson Valley Wild Turkey
Bourbon Barrel Stout, Boont Barl, and Huge Arker Imperial Stout.
