With February just around the corner, we are weeks away from our next bottle release and brunch! February's release kicks off our month-long celebration of bourbon with four bourbon barrel matured beers, as well as a freshy fresh hop-forward offering out of The DAB Lab series.
This release will include Super Nebula; Super Nebula, Breakfast with Roses; Super Nebula, Double Chocolate Hazelnut; and Kriek, a Spontaneous Cuvée in 500mL bottles alongside cans of The DAB Lab, Juice Joint.
Release beers will be available both at our Tap Room event, as well as limited, reservation-only brunches at our downtown Pub and Caves. Please see below for information on how to enter the lottery if you are interested in a brunch reservation.
If you are not drawn for a reservation, or are not interested in attending brunch, we will reserve a full allocation of bottles and cans for at least the first 50 people in line at the Tap Room release
Hang with us pre-release at the Tap Room!
The release will begin at 11am, but we will be opening our doors at 9:30am, so you can arrive early and hang out over complimentary hot coffee and donuts from NutCakes, some killer food specials, and our release beers on tap. (We'll issue you a number when you arrive, so you can mingle before the release without losing your spot in line.)
Tap Room Specials:
Super Nebula Biscuits & Gravy
House-made buttermilk biscuits smothered in Super Nebula pork gravy.
Kriek Benedict
Kriek glazed house ham or tempeh, poached eggs, braised red chard, and gruyere hollandaise on a toasted English muffin.

Kriek, a Spontaneous Cuvée
Oud Bruin Ale Spontaneously Fermented in Bourbon Barrels with Cherries
Kriek, a Spontaneous Cuvee is an oud bruin inspired wild ale that was spontaneously fermented in bourbon barrels first used to mature Super Nebula. After conditioning over two winters on local Montmorency cherries from the Cherry County, we blended barrels of Kriek at their peak of character, marrying the unique expression of our wild cellar’s resident flora with the essence of fresh tart cherries and a subtle hint of bourbon.
6.5% ABV
$11.50 / 500mL bottle
3 bottles / person
The DAB Lab, Juice Joint
Progressive IPA ftg. Hop Extractions
The DAB Lab series focuses on vibrant hop-forward ales that prominently feature hop extractions. Juice Joint pairs dank, citrusy, and tropical varietals—a heady hop combination that’s packed with hop character of resin-dipped pineapple skunk and freshly squeezed twisted citrus.
7% ABV
$4.00, plus deposit / 16oz can
no limit
