Our dessert beers are a fusion of flavors, making each of them a perfect pairing when one craves an exceptional stout full of personality. With booming notes of chocolate, caramel, and coconut, Samoa This is our interpretation of the famous seasonal treat. We went to great lengths carefully crafting each flavor, right down to the savory shortbread-like cookie base. 12 ounce bottle |

Brewery: Southern Tier |
Name of Beer: A Wrinkle in the Fabric |
Beer Style: Imperial IPA |
Description: Another dream beer for hop heads. Around 80ibus, feature two varieties of hops that we’ve recently experimented with: Huell Melon and Mandarina. Both hops offer subtle fruity notes like juicy cantaloupe and tangy orange. Residual malt sweetness matched with the refreshing summer fruit character of the hops makes this an exceptionally drinkable (bordering on crushable), double India Pale Ale. Scene Two: A Wrinkle in the Fabric. Something has broken through the fabric of space and time. Is it a force of good, or something sinister? Stay tuned for episode 3, released in May! 16 ounce can |

Status: Limited |
Brewery: Avery |
Name of Beer: Uncle Jacob's Stout |
Beer Style: Imperial Stout |
Description: Jacob Spears, our 6th Great Grand Uncle, is credited as the first distiller to label his whiskey “Bourbon.” He built his distillery in Bourbon County Kentucky in 1790 — 203 years before we began brewing. While obviously a bit too late to produce Uncle Jacob’s wash, we’ve instead created something far more complex. In his honor, we present this robust, silky smooth, full-bodied and altogether extremely American rendition of an Imperial Stout aged for 6 months in the very finest Bourbon barrels. This explains a lot about our penchant for big brews! It’s in our blood! 12 ounce bottle |
