Our Barrel Aging Process

Core to our identity, barrel aged beers have been a part of the business plan from day one. Releasing them is another matter, as each must be given time to become the beer it was meant to be. This means some of our beers will spend months in oak before bottling, and some will spend years. Each beer is packaged and released when we feel it is ready for your enjoyment. We strive to ensure your first sip is as good as the last, so each of our beers are designed to be balanced, elegant and harmonious.

Our Bottles

We release new barrel aged beers periodically throughout the year.
