The EMPEROR

Our strongest beer yet - at 13.5% ABV, starting this Friday!
Join us Memorial Day weekend as we release our brand new hand crafted beer, "The Emperor", a Russian Imperial Stout that we aged with bourbon & oak! 

This beer is thick, black, and strong, with flavors of roasted malts, oak, and molasses. At 13.5 % alcohol, this one is full of strong flavors, and not for the faint of heart!  We made a full sized batch, so there is plenty to go around, and plenty available for carry-out.... so be sure to bring your growler jugs in to take some home!

We'll only be serving this in small sized glasses in our taproom, sorry no pints due to the high alcohol content.
