I see a trend forming here. Southern Tier will be releasing an oak aged edition of their Backburner Barleywine, and now the extremely popular Pumking. A brewery rep just informed me a limited release of the beer arrives the first of December.
More on this release:
Southern Tier achieves their oak-aged quality by hanging pieces of oak directly into the fermentation tank and letting it ferment for 24-28 days. This time around, the brewery made 200 barrels which they will be distributing on draught only.
Availability: Draft only.
Arrival: Limited release, 12/1/11
8.6% ABV
do we know what regions this will be released in yet?
