Colorado is hosting the Craft Brewers Conference for the first time since 2014, and to celebrate, we are releasing two new Medianoche variants!
The first is Rye Vanilla Medianoche, which combines unique barrels with one of our favorite adjuncts. The blend for this batch was selected from freshly emptied 10-year American oak rye whiskey barrels used to age Medianoche for 18 months. These rye whiskey barrels are some of the most complex and interesting casks we have gotten our hands on, which were used to age whiskey made from 100% unmalted rye for over 10 years, imparting notes of butterscotch, vanilla, black cherries, and allspice. After 18 months of aging in the rye whiskey barrels, we conditioned this batch of Medianoche on copious amounts of Madagascar and Ugandan vanilla beans for over 3 months, contributing notes of sweet tobacco, milk chocolate, and brownie batter. These were the same barrels as used for our 4th Anniversary Medianoche, so if you enjoyed that brew as much as we did, then this variant will be right up your alley!
The second variant is Rye Medianoche, comprised of a completely different blend of rye whiskey barrels than Rye Vanilla! This batch of Medianoche spent 17 months in freshly emptied Pikesville 6-year straight rye whiskey barrels, which is one of our favorite rye whiskeys in the world. The dark chocolate, coffee, milk chocolate, and caramel notes of the Medianoche base beer are perfectly complemented by the sweet cherry, cinnamon apple, vanilla, and rye spice notes contributed by the Pikesville barrels. No adjuncts necessary!
In order to keep fees at a minimum but still offer the convenience and flexibility of guaranteed allocations, Eventbrite tickets to reserve bottles are FREE. Tickets will be available online exclusively through Eventbrite and tickets must be presented at the brewery between Friday, April 5th and Sunday, April 21st during normal taproom hours to purchase bottles. One (1) ticket is redeemable for the purchase of one (1) bottle. There is a strict limit of two (2) tickets for Rye Vanilla Medianoche and two (2) tickets for Rye Medianoche per person. Rye Vanilla Medianoche bottles are $32 each, and Rye Medianoche bottles are $26 each.
