A new Barrel Roll springs forth today from Hangar 24 Craft Brewery (Redlands, CA). Hammerhead, an American-style barleywine (hoppier than the English versions) aged in rye whiskey and bourbon barrels. Each release in the series is named for a plane Continue Reading →
Meet Nate from Green Flash. He’s filling barrels with Silva Stout which will relax in there for 18 months and then be released in 2014. Don’t forget that beer is naturally a great skin and hair care product.
If you were to ask our opinion about Weyerbacher (Easton, PA) we would tell you they make a lot of amazing barrel aged offerings that don’t get the press they deserve. From Insanity (barleywine in bourbon), to Heresy (imperial stout Continue Reading →

Red Brick Brewing (Atlanta, Georgia) just brewed their biggest beer to date – 20th Anniversary Imperial Stout. The beer clocks in at the highest ABV they have ever created – 10.5% ABV.
Instead of doing another American Strong Ale – Garrett Lockhart and Steve Anderson and brew crew went another direction. And big. This boozy imperial stout doesn’t disappoint straight out of the brite tank (finishing tank) and most definitely won’t after 4 months in Buffalo Trace barrels.
In keeping with the past, 20th Anniversary will arrive in 12oz/4 packs and draft. Look for it’s arrival late Summer, 2013.

A new Barrel Roll springs forth today from Hangar 24 Craft Brewery (Redlands, CA). Hammerhead, an American-style barleywine (hoppier than the English versions) aged in rye whiskey and bourbon barrels. Each release in the series is named for a plane aerobatic maneuver. A hammerhead is when you climb straight vertical and essentially stall the plane so it is sitting still in the air (nose up).
In the end, the pilot makes the plane to tip over like it is hinged on one of it’s wingtips, and pointed straight down. (See image below.)
Spicy aromas spill from the glass: rich caramel, citrusy hops, bourbon and oak. Layered flavors of toffee, vanilla, brown sugar, spice and rye whiskey lead to a warm and slightly bitter finish. This is a strong ale, meant to be sipped, savored and enjoyed.
Style: Barleywine (Barrel Aged)
Availability: 750ml bottles, Limited Draft
13.8% ABV, 83 IBU

If you were to ask our opinion about Weyerbacher (Easton, PA) we would tell you they make a lot of amazing barrel aged offerings that don’t get the press they deserve. From Insanity (barleywine in bourbon), to Heresy (imperial stout in bourbon), even their Sour Black and Rapture beers are pretty incredible. They just don’t get the buzz like other breweries. Perfect really, more for those who know.
Above – Sunday Morning Stout, a barrel aged noob in the works from brewmaster Chris Wilson and his team at Weyerbacher. Aptly named too, as SMS is a stout aged in bourbon barrels with coffee. The best part of waking up.
Style: Stout (w/ Coffee, Barrel Aged)
