Wild Heaven’s 4th Beer “Eschaton” Ships

Wild Heaven just crossed the 1 year mark.  That calls for a beer celebration.  Today the brewery shipped Eschaton, their 4th release since launch.

First lets tackle the name – Eschaton. Translated from Greek it means “End Of Time.”  Note the Four Horsemen Of The Apocalypse on the label.   Artist Adam Houston based it on a pencil sketch by  German artist Albrecht Dürer.  The beer is a Belgian quadrupel aged on pinot noir oak chips.  No candi sugar of any kind was used in the brew.  Believe me, you want this one.  Wild Heaven is truly giving you something to geek out about.  This is just a glimpse at great things to come from them.

Draft will be available in Georgia by the end of the week.  12oz bottles by the end of the year.

In other Wild Heaven news, the brewery is working on a lower ABV beer due out in the spring, alongside prepping for their brewery build in Decatur, Georgia.

10.5% ABV

About Pannepot:
The Pannepøt owes its name to our Danish friends and customers who eagerly and often drink de Struise beers. As a tribute to them, we developed this brew in occasion of the International Beer Festival in Copenhagen which took place in May 2006. The beer has always been popular in it’s own region and was so well received at the festival that we decided to continue brewing it.

Style: Quadrupel
Taste Expectations: (Per Shelton) Aromas of dried fruit and spice. It reveals licorice, nutmeg, fruit, and caramel on the palate

Deschute’s The Stoic Details

Deschutes Brewing’s newest beer The Stoic is hitting shelves. Stoic, a quadruple, is the result of 4 nuanced fermentations.  This quad touts the use of pomegranate molasses, Belgian yeast, and aged in pinot noir and rye whiskey barrels.

 Our brewers describe a simple recipe ironically hard to brew. The classic malt bill is all Pilsner malt. Hallartau, Czech Saaz, and Northern Brewer hops sustain a deftly understated flavor. Belgian candy sugars add impact and the smooth body required of any Belgian-style brew worth quaffing. A healthy portion of pomegranate molasses casts an opulent, tangy twist, while a vintage Belgian yeast strain provides a solid reference point. Pinot Noir and Rye Whiskey barrel-aging suggest notes of spice, citrus, pepper, vanilla, and toasted caramel like offerings to the ancients.

Style: Quadruple (double barrel aged)
Hops: Hallertau, Czech Saaz, Northern Brewer
Belgian candi sugar

Availability:  22oz bottles. Capped/waxed

11% ABV
