By popular request, it's time for Bourbon Barrel-Aged Braggot, crowler edition!
Q: Why are these crowlers special?
A: Special size (750 ml), barrel-aged label, and rare (only 150 were made). Can be enjoyed now or aged.
Q: How long will they last?
A: These crowlers were purged of oxygen and filled from the bottom, meaning they can be aged for several years if they’re stored at cellar temp (65 or lower). We’d recommend trying one now and sticking one in the cellar to see how the flavors develop and round out over the next year. If you’ve never aged beer before, this would be a great one to start with.
Q: What's a braggot?
A: This sweet, boozy style dates back to 12th century Ireland and combines the most delicious characteristics of mead (honey wine) with the humankind’s greatest achievement - beer.
Q: What does it taste like?
A: It's on the sweet side, as it was brewed with 360 lbs of clover honey. The honey note blends perfectly with the vanilla, coconut, and caramel flavors created by the charred American oak used to make bourbon barrels.
Q: Where did you get the barrels?
A: The barrels are from J. Carver Distillery in Waconia, Minnesota, which is our brewer's home town.
Q: How many do you have left?
A: We sold a lot on release weekend (Feb. 3) but we have plenty left. Come and get 'um! Limit 3 per person per day. $20 each.
