Reuben’s Brews releases Three Ryes Men brandy barrel and cinnamon variants
Seattle, Washington’s Reuben’s Brews will release two variants of their 2020 Three Ryes Men barrel-aged barleywines this Friday, December 18th. To minimize crowds and to make the entire process smoother, Reuben’s is selling bottles online only with pick-ups in-person, and they will ship beers to you if you live in Washington state. Bottle sales begin at 12pm on Friday, while supplies last.
This years 2020 Three Ryes Men comes in two variants of the FoBAB and GABF medal winner, both of which are double-barreled in unique oak casks. One is a return of a popular release from last year, and the other is a brand new barrel experiment that the brewery is quite pleased with.
THREE RYES MEN: CINNAMON - We've taken our 2020 Three Ryes Men barrel-aged barleywine and aged it a second time in cinnamon whisky barrels. The additional time in the cinnamon barrels adds layers of complexity and baking spice, with cinnamon showing its earthy and balancing flavors to the liquid caramel and dark chocolate flavors of the base Three Ryes Men. This beer is one of our experimental brewer Thor's favorite barrel-aged creations to date, and as a new experiment this beer is available in very limited quantity.
THREE RYES MEN: BRANDY BARREL - The 2020 release of Three Ryes Men barrel-aged barleywine brewed with multiple types of rye and aged a second time in apple brandy barrels. The base Three Ryes Men features a full body with malt driven caramel and chocolate notes, evoking a liquid rolo, and the second aging in brandy adds a depth of spicy fruit and calvados. A returning favorite from last year.
Both beers are exclusively available at our Reuben’s Ballard Taproom and To-Go Store, and will not see distribution. But both beers will be on draft at the Taproom for beers on their outdoor patio at noon. Bottles will be available for pickup beginning at noon on Friday from the To-Go Store and throughout the weekend. Reuben’s Brews asks that you pick up your orders of Three Ryes Men within a week of purchase and to maintain social distancing whenever visiting the Taproom and To-Go Store.
The company webstore is now stocked with new 2020 Reuben's Holiday Sweaters and other great gifts like a new coaster-making kit. Better yet, through the end of the year there is free shipping for all purchases of over $100 with the promo code FREESHIP2020 at checkout from the WA State Shipping Store.
