Black Friday saw the release of two Splinter Beers - Impending Descent and Bourbon Barrel-Aged Flying Mouflan. Plus, a brand new batch of Wild Elf dropped on November 30. Well, we're happy to announce that the trend will continue throughout the month of December with two additional Splinter Beer releases - Sir Peché (released TODAY) and Dear Peter. Also, both Wild Elf and Impending Descent are now available outside the brewery in select markets, so be sure to check out our Brew Finder to locate some near you!
However, if you live close to our brewery, please join us on Friday, December 15 or Saturday, December 16 between 5 and 7 p.m. for a FREE Splinter Beer sampling in our Splinter Cellar! Enjoy complimentary tastings of our recent Splinter releases and pairings from our Snack Bar. Taste how Nancy Oldchat camembert cheese balances the in-your-face sour notes of our newest release, Sir Peché, and complements this year’s release of Wild Elf. Discover the decadence of our house-made caramels with long-time favorites Flying Mouflan and Impending Descent. Enjoy any of the Splinter beers in the tasting room, or purchase to give as gifts from the general store.

Standing in the fields of a local farm and dreaming about a peach sour, we hit upon an idea: Let's leave the fruit on the trees a little longer to coax out as much tangy juiciness as possible. A few weeks later, we trucked the overripe peaches back to the brewery, sliced 'em open and tossed the flesh into fermenters. Brettanomyces adds a touch of tropical fruit and funk, lactobacillus provides the pucker, and a spell on American oak brings it all home.
6.5% ABV
Now available only at Tröegs Brewery.
Starting with Mad Elf as the mother beer, Wild Elf goes through a long secondary fermentation in oak foeders alive with our house culture. We add tart Balaton cherries from nearby Peters Orchard, and the wild yeast and bacteria that hitchhike in on the skins of the cherries add layers of lemon and white peppercorn among the vanilla and oak.
11% ABV
Now available at Tröegs Brewery and in select markets. Check out our Brew Finder to locate Wild Elf near you.
Some beers just belong in barrels, and Flying Mouflan – a resiny, chocolatey giant of a barleywine ale – is one of them. We pour every drop we brew into bourbon barrels, taming the sharpness of the hops and uncovering layers of salted caramel, pecan pie and rum raisin.
11.5% ABV
Now available only at Tröegs Brewery.
One day, we got the urge to one-up our already colossal Imperial Stout, and we’re glad we did. A year in bourbon barrels has smoothed the sharp edges of Impending Descent, and armfuls of chocolate, vanilla and raw cane sugar make it a meal. A warm, velvety, intense meal. If you have the patience, you could tuck a few away in your cellar, but we think it’s ready for your glass.

Dear Peters family... We heard about the nectarines that were bruised in a hailstorm. Well, what won't work at a roadside stand will be aces for brewing. We're picturing a bracing sour with a sweet over-ripe nose. Brett for funk, lacto for pucker, and a spell on oak to bring it all home. Those nectarines? We'll take 'em all.
6% ABV
Release date: December 21.
Available only at Tröegs Brewery.
