Weyerbacher Brewing has a small batch of beers they call the “Brewmasters Select.” Chris Wilson and brewing team at Weyerbacher experiment with different styles each time, and of course the name is different with each brew. Fun fact: the brewery uses the NATO phonetic alphabet. You’ve heard it before — the first letter of the word is the letter you are using i.e. Alpha, Bravo, Charlie etc….
Weyerbacher is up to “T” with Tango, but for the sake of completion- hadn’t published it.

There is a lot going on in Easton, Pennsylvania lately. At least, at the brewery that is. Weyerbacher is working on an expansion, some rebranding & more. Above is the newest artwork for the popular Imperial Pumpkin Ale that the brewery seasonally releases.
This 8.0% ABV pumpkin ale is the mother of all pumpkin ales. It is heartier, spicier, and more “caramelly” and “pumpkiny” than its faint brethren! We have added lots of pumpkin along with Cinnamon, Nutmeg and a touch of cardamom and clove giving this beer a spicy, full-bodied flavor. This truly is an Imperial Pumpkin Ale.
Available: August-November, seasonally.

It’s great that breweries release beers that everyone wants a taste of. By nature, they are brewers, not event coordinators. Sometimes it’s not as organized as they’d like. Weyerbacher took a moment today to apologize for those that might have been frustrated by last nights Idiot’s Drool event:
We want to apologize to our beer fans for not having better planning and organization for last nights event. We had no idea we were going to have such a huge crowd! And we are grateful for that, its just that this was the first time a release event had been this well attended. We’ve already had a meeting this morning with everyone involved in the planning and organization and we will make certain the next special event is handled in an organized way to provide enjoyment and opportunity for all who make the trek to Easton.
Judging from the online feedback posted here, many of you had a fantastic time at the event anyway. You loved the Idiot’s Drool as well as Tango, our latest one-off, a strong belgian ale with cherries, 9.6%. We do have another 30 cs of Tango available on Saturday at normal Visitor Center hours, but since they were not labeled yet we couldn’t bring them out at the event.
Mostly, we want to thank everyone for coming out and showing the love for Weyerbacher last night. We truly appreciate your patience with our mis-steps, and we’re just blown away to know how much you love our brews! What we as brewers enjoy the most is created new beers and new experiences, pushing the envelope or abandoning style in general, to boldly brew where no one has brewed before! That’s what makes it fun for us, and we’re thrilled that you see it the same way.
Thanks again everyone!We truly appreciate it.
Dan Weyerbacher, Chris Wilson, Chris Lampe, Bill Bragg and the rest of the hardworking excellent team at Weyerbacher.
On Thursday 11/17, Weyerbacher Brewing releases Idiot’s Drool, a bourbon barrel aged edition of Blithering Idiot that has spent 4.5 years on oak. Yep, nearly half a decade.
Head Brewer Chris Wilson says, “It’s a full-bodied, deep burgundy ale with an incredibly complex character. Extended aging has imbued this beer with notes of vanilla, oak, leather and sweet sherry. A mild acidity and subtle carbonation rounds out the palate. Truly fantastic!”
The event will begin at 5pm, with samples of QUAD, Blithering Idiot, Double Simcoe IPA and Merry Monks (both in 750ml bottles), Winter Ale, Old Heathen, Hops Infusion and Verboten, and Tango the next release in the Brewers’ Select Series.
The event details per Weyerbacher:
Hours – Doors are open from 5pm to 8pm. Expect a line. We have only one register. We’ll do our best. Grumpy people will not be allowed to have Idiot’s Drool. Instead, they will be shackled and forced to clean the parking lot while the others point and laugh. There may be paint involved, too.
Bottle Limits and Laws — We are a production brewery only which means we can only sell you full cases (twenty-four 12 oz bottles or twelve 750ml bottles). It’s a law thing, not ourpolicy. That said, because of the incredibly small batch of beer for which we are having this event, we have decided to limit each person to SIX (6) bottles of Idiot’s Drool. Yes, we do realize that a case of 750s is twelve (12) bottles. No, we’re not trying to do some kind of crazy “force ‘em to buy more other stuff, too” nonsense; It’s purely about the math. We just don’t have many bottles and we want to make sure you all get a chance to have some without having to sell tickets and stamp hands and check your DNA and whatnot. We will have Merry Monks and Double Simcoe IPA available in 750ml bottles to round out your full case of 12 bottles… oh… yeah….. and we’ll have RAPTURE available, too! You can always ask around and find a buddy to split a full case with you.
Distribution — This is an EXTREMELY limited bottling run. There are no cases going to any distributors anywhere at all. None. Zero. If you’re getting this beer, you’re getting it here. We do NOT expect the supply to last the night. If each person takes their limit of 6 bottles, we’re only talking about 140 customers.
The Register — We’re all about getting you access to what you want BUT we have to be mindful of the laws. If two people want to split a full case of rapture (6 bottles each from a 12 bottle case), please settle your finances between each other before OR after you go to the register. Please DO NOT ask our cashier to split payment on two different cards. We’re selling a case to one person… start to finish… Capiche!?!? Visa, Master Card, Amex and when it goes thru, Discover. We take cold hard cash, too. Sorry, no checks!
Pricing — Idiot’s Drool is $23.00 a bottle. Rapture is $17.00 a bottle. Double Simcoe IPA and Merry Monks 750 ml bottles are $6.50 each. TWELVE BOTTLES TO A CASE.
So what else do you have? We will also have our full lineup of year round and current seasonal beers in 12 oz bottles available to mix into custom variety packs. As if this was not enough, we will also be ready to sell you growlers of our available draft beer as well!
