This beer might seem familiar. Great Divide’s 15th Anniversary was essentially the same brew. 16th Anniversary is a double IPA aged on oak chips. Looking for a good oaked double IPA, look no further.
Great Divide celebrates 16 years of craft brewing with this release, and on top of that – just finished huge brewery expansion. On a $600,000 budget Great Divide expanded its output by50% to 24,000 barrels a year. New beers will surface soon thanks to this expansion.
From 16th Anniversary Label –
“Based on our most award-winning beer, Denver Pale Ale, this copper-hued treat is a celebration of everything Great Divide does best. Plenty of malty sweetness provides a backdrop for earthy English and American hops, while French and American oak round off the edges and provide a touch of vanilla.”
Availability – 22 oz Bombers. Draft. One time Anniversary brew.
Taste Expectations – Notes of vanilla/oak. Caramel malts add a sweet flavor to it. Floral and citrus hops from English & American hops. Well balanced DIPA.
