Brooklyn Monster Ale & Black Ops Returning? / Le Poulet, Black Chocolate Stout 2016 Vintage

Brooklyn Monster Ale & Black Ops Returning?

Crank up the rumor mills…Brooklyn Brewery just gained approval for keg packaging for Monster Ale Barleywine-style ale and Black Ops stout aged in Bourbon barrels.  No details coming from Brooklyn so far, so stay tuned for more updates.

imageIn case you forgot…this from May 2013 on the retirement of Monster Ale from Brooklyn:

Today it is with a heavy heart that we announce Brooklyn Brewery’s barley wine Monster Ale has reached the end of its run. But although this beer will no longer be produced, its spirit will live on… no, like literally: Monster Ale will age nicely for many years, so for those holding on to a bottle (or keg) there’s still some Monster out there left to enjoy.

After the passing of Monster the Cat, things were just not the same with Monster Ale. The Monsters had come up in Brooklyn together, enjoying an incalculable tally of beer fans assembled in the Tasting Room basking in the duo’s respective glow, and witnessing the birth of new arrivals such as Local 1, BLAST! and Sorachi Ace, now all on course toward legacies of their own. When Monster was laid to rest, the spirituous, malty libation could be seen aimlessly meandering through the fermentation hall, lazing about the brewhouse, and listlessly watching bottles fill up with beer in the packaging room, giving the sense to those close with this classic Winter Seasonal that perhaps the end was near.

But don’t worry, even though one of its members has passed, the Brooklyn Beer family may just have some new suds in the oven…imageAnd while we’re at it, here’s a few more Brooklyn Brewery keg labels: Le Poulet & Black Chocolate Stout Vintage 2016.image
