Modern Times City of the Dead has just been bottled by the California brewery.
Modern Times City of the Dead is a coffee stout, that uses house-roasted coffee beans, aged in bourbon barrels. How do you bourbon barrel age coffee beans? Take the green beans that haven’t been roasted yet. At this point they are ver susceptible to new flavors. Fill a bourbon barrel full of beans and wait for the magic to happen. Finally, carefully roast the beans so as not to cover up the barrel aged notes.
Rich, full-bodied, & bursting with barrel-aged coffee aroma & flavor, this coffee stout is truly a unique & delicious animal. We were the first brewery to ever make beer with barrel-aged coffee, and now we’re the first to do a large-scale bottle release. And, of course, we roasted it all ourselves. Cool stuff!
Modern Times City of the Dead is available in 22oz bottles, starting January 27th.
Style: Stout (w/ Bourbon Barrel Aged Coffee)
Availability: 22oz Bottles, Draft
Release: 1/27/15

Odell Myrcenario is aged in Jose Cuevo Tradicional barrels. Interestingly, the brewery swapped barrels for beer. The tequila maker is finshing some tequila barrels that once contained beer.
Myrcenario is the result of barrel exchange with our friends just south of the border. We age sure mercenary IPA in Jose Cuevo Tradicional barrels. In return, the folks at Jose Cuervo aged Tradicional in our beer barrels. The brew boasts a spicy, tropical hop character that balances the toasted oak with a surprisingly smooth finish.

Nebraska Blanc is the New White features Ardennes yeast (just like SweetWater’s recent release, and future sour ale), aged in Sauvignon Blanc barrels for half a year.
Pushing creativity into new realms of barrel aging, this Saison was made with the Ardennes yeast strain and aged in Sauvignon Blanc barrels for 6 months. The result is a beer that spans the breadth of grassy down into lightly tropical character. Uniquely pleasant.
