I brought you a peek already, and now as promised, I have the full packaging for this exciting new collaboration coming from New Belgium Brewing in Fort Collins, CO and Asheville, NC. This is Dark Forest and it will be a barleywine sour ale aged in Bourbon barrels with spruce tips that hits 11.5%-AbV. Each brewery aged their own version and the final blend was finished on spruce tips and packaged in 375ml bottles. zzunreebym Stay tuned for full release details.

This 25 Jan 2022 update from New Belgium:
A Bourbon Barrel-Aged Barleywine Sour Ale? … say what?! Introducing Dark Forest – a wood-aged collaboration with our dear friends at Surly Brewing Co., coming to you straight from the cold and majestic North.
This wildly unique barleywine blend aims to highlight the strengths of both breweries. Surly’s being bold & burly. Ours being tart & fruity. Both were laid down in freshly emptied bourbon barrels in Colorado & Minnesota, then blended in Fort Collins and finished on fresh Colorado spruce tips. And at 11.5% ABV, it may be easier than usual to get lost, so when venturing deep into the Dark Forest, we recommend bringing a friend along with you
Available now at our taprooms in Fort Collins & Asheville and very limited retail distribution in MN, WI, IL, CO, WA, & OR soon.
