Terrapin Richland Reserve: New Beer, New Barrel Aged Series
Terrapin Richland Reserve is the launch of not only a new beer, but a new series. The Athens, Georgia based brewery recently partnered with Georgia’s Richland Rum.

A pair of Georgia’s liquid artisans come together by combining two art forms, craft brewing, and craft distilling. Richland Reserve, the first in our “Ales from the Wood” series, is made from vintage 2014 HopZilla “Double IPA” and has been masterfully aged in Richland Rum barrels for over one year.
Terrapin Richland Reserve is a late July, 2015 release in 22oz bottles. No draft available for this release.
Style: Imperial IPA (Barrel Aged. Rum)
Hops: Bravo, Chinook, Centennial, Citra (Dry Hop)

Almanac Rum Barrel Peche Coming to Farm to Barrel
Almanac Rum Barrel Peche takes aim at the brewery’s Farm to Barrel Series.
This edition features summer peaches, a sour blonde ale, and rum barrels.
Historically, fruit-infused sour beer were a way of preserving the summer harvest. In that tradition, this blonde ale was added to rum barrels with high-summer peaches, hand-picked by the Loewen Family at Blossom Bluff Orchards in Reedley, California. We aged this liquid gold for six months until we needed a reminder that summer will come again.
Almanac Rum Barrel Peche will be available in 375ml bottles. The brewery has not yet announced this offering.
Style: American Wild Ale (w/ Peaches. Barrel Aged. Rum.)
Availability: 375ml Bottles
Release: TBA

Inception Series Potential: Nebraska Brewing Runnin’ With the Devil
Nebraska Brewing Runnin’ With the Devil is a potential release in the brewery’s Inception Series this year. (As of now, not officially announced.)
For Runnin’ with the Devil, the brewery took their Fathead Barleywine, and aged it in rum barrels. Because? Booze.
A variant of our Fathead Barley Wine Ale. We’ve taken a massive beer which already had deep brown sugar notes and chosen to age it further in Venezuelan Rum barrels for a beautiful finish and deep maturation. You’ll find it best to share with a friend. And be seated.
Nebraska Runnin’ with the Devil will be available in 750ml bottles.
Style: Barleywine (Barrel Aged. Rum Barrels.)

Quest Imperial Smoking Mirror Porter Is Barrel Aged #2
Quest Imperial Smoking Mirror Porter marks the second barrel aged release by the Greenville, South Carolina brewery.
The base beer is a porter, that has aged 8 months in Cruzan rum barrels. Smoking Mirror Porter follows Kaldi Stout, their first barrel-aged release.
“Barrel aging is all about timing. Knowing when the beer has reached its maximum potential and fullest flavor,” says Richardson. “We let this beer age for eight months in Cruzan rum barrels and it resulted in a smooth and slightly smoky beauty, with a rich and creamy finish.”
Quest Imperial Smoking Mirror Porter will be available in 750ml bottles on Saturday, January 10th. Bottles are $20 each, with a four bottle limit.
A third barrel-aged offering is planned to release in mid to late 2015.
Style: Porter (Barrel Aged. Rum.)
