We are excited to announce that we are shifting the format of our In the Spirit barrel-aged series to 12oz cans. The change will officially start with the first ever release of our Barrel-Aged Liquid Layers Barleywine in a mixed 4-pack of cans on Black Friday (November 29).
Nexus of the Universe Barrel-Aged Russian Imperial Stout and Mystic Knot Barrel-Aged Irish Coffee Stout will also be put into cans this year!
Liquid Layers
Each year we take our Liquid Layers Barleywine and age it in a variety of spirit barrels. This year’s variants are: bourbon, rum, rye and a special pumpkin whiskey barrel. This is the first year we have ever packaged the Barrel-Aged Liquid Layers.
We will sell all 4 variants in a mixed 4-pack of 12oz cans for $20 each. We have less than 200 4-packs available. Sales will begin at 11:00 a.m. when we open our tap room early on Black Friday. We will also tap a few other limited kegs of our In the Spirit Barrel-Aged beers on Black Friday. Check out the details for this event in the Facebook event here.
Nexus of the Universe
Nexus of the Universe is a Russian Imperial Stout aged in bourbon and brandy barrels for nine months with cacao and vanilla added. Release Date: December 14, 2019.
Nexus of the Universe will also be sold in 4-packs of 12oz cans this year. 4-packs will be $25 each.
Nexus will have three special variants this year.
Double Barrel Nexus
The first variant is a very special Double-Barrel Nexus. This stout has aged a total of 21 months, first in a bourbon barrel and then in a port barrel. It will be sold in 500ml bottles for $20 each.
The other two variants will each be sold in 12oz cans for $10 each.
Chocolate Orange Nexus
To create Chocolate Orange Nexus we selected the top bourbon barrels and added cacao and orange peel to mimic the flavors of a Terry’s Chocolate Orange Ball.
Tom and Jerry Nexus
Tom and Jerry Nexus is based on the classic Wisconsin holiday cocktail. We took our favorite brandy barrels and added lactose, vanilla, nutmeg, allspice and clove.
