Vintage Beer Program

Aged or meant-for-aging beers in our VINTAGE program showcase spirits-barrel-aged, wild, and higher ABV beer styles that take time to perfect.  These are produced in very limited quantities and packaged primarily in specialty bottles; they’re the long-cycle creative counter-part to the rapid-cycle creative brewing in our Pilot program. We take all the time and resources we need to build these beers over time. While they are suitable for drinking when we release them, they also age well and are the perfect addition to your beer cellar.
