Southern Tier Choklat transitioned to 12 ounce bottles

Southern Tier Choklat, one of the Lakewood, New York’s most highly acclaimed beers, is now available in 12 ounce bottles/4 packs.

Southern Tier Choklat is brewed with Belgian chocolate. It is one of the most rich, chocolatey beers we’ve ever had at Beer Street Journal. VP of Sales and Marketing, Brendan Smith says:

“For years, some of our most popular beers have been available only in 22oz. packages. We find that many of our fans and craft beer drinkers prefer to enjoy specialty brews in smaller packages. We’ll still offer 22oz. bomber bottles, but the addition of more accessible packages provides our market with the most flexible offerings.”

Southern Tier Choklat is literally dessert in a glass, and now available in 12 ounce bottles though the end of the year.

Style: Imperial Stout (w/ Chocolate)
Availability: 12oz Bottles, Draft. Seasonal.
Release: November, 2015 (4-Packs)
