| Description: From their website: “Brouwerij de Molen is an experimental brewery. We aren’t satisfied if we don’t manage to brew something off the charts quite regularly. Each six weeks this results in a new beer witch we never brewed before and probably never will brew again. So try to keep track of that! ? The occasional experimental recipes occur along our steady range of 20 beers. We also participate in loads of collaboration brews with leading craftbeer breweries around the world. All the arguments in the above decide that Molenbeers exceed regular beers and craftbeers.” |

| Brewery: The Libertine Brewing Company |
| Name of Beer: Authentic SLO Wild Ale |
| Beer Style: American Wild Ale |

These 18 barrels were carefully selected from over 400 barrels over a multiday blending session. Funky and bright with notes of citrus and stone fruit, these flavors give way to hints of coconut and oak. This blend still holds a great amount of mouthfeel but finishes very dry and tart begging for another sip. We recommend grabbing a few of each batch to be able to compare vintages as they age. Look for these blends to come out 3-4 times a year. |
