On Saturday, June 22nd, we officially celebrate our 2-year anniversary and have a week full of excitement, special beer releases, surprises, and the debut of Second, an Imperial Stout aged in Weller bourbon barrels and cinnamon/vanilla/maple whiskey barrels (first use whiskey, secondary use aging vanilla beans/cinnamon sticks/maple). Basically, it’s a french toast inspired Barrel Aged Imperial Stout (12% ABV).
