Bourbon Barrel Aged

Take it to the Limit Barleywine

ABV 14.5%

IBU’s 21

By far the biggest beer we have ever made! It displays a deep amber color, with Crystal and Munich malts presenting strong fruity esters in the aroma, while the American hops identify this as an American take on a classic. The high alcohol is evident but subdued by the oak and char from aging in bourbon barrels, adding additional complexity to this superbly smooth barelywine.

Simconed West Coast IPA

ABV 7.0%

IBUs 60

Simcoe flowers, pellets, CO2 extract, and Lupulin powder to make this great well balanced IPA.  Simcoe is a great dual purpose hop making it perfect for both bittering, flavor, and aroma hop additions. This results in a quintessential West Coast IPA with aromas and flavors of pine, citrus, and passion fruit.
