These are priced at $24 per 4 pack and we only made 40 cases total. We are dividing these between our three pubs. The beer will also be on tap at our two Portland pubs and will eventually hit the taplines in Vancouver.Barrel-Aged Motherland Russian Imperial Stout - We aged our darkest winter beer for more than a year in a selection of Bourbon barrels. Motherland is dark as a moonless Siberian winter's night but warming enough to weather it. Bittersweet chocolate flavors mingle with deep fig and plum fruitiness, as well as oak and vanilla notes from the barrel-aging process. A gentle heat and spiciness linger long on the palate, leaving you craving more of the sweet warmth of the Motherland. 10.2% ABV. Available in limited 4-packs and on tap.Straight Up Cashmere Chocolate Orange Stout - Inspired by holiday chocolate oranges, this strong stout is velvety smooth from an excessive use of oats, creamy with chocolate, and slightly citrusy from the addition of orange zest. 7.8% ABV. Available only on tap.---DEC 12 - Beer Release Party for Barrel-Aged Morning VibesBarrel-Aged Morning Vibes - A whiskey-soaked version of our Win-Win series beer, Morning Vibes. Originally released in Feb 2018, Morning Vibes is a collaboration with Nossa Familia (a fellow B Corp), using their organic coffee. We added cocoa and lactose to make a rich, silky beer which was then aged for 8 months in variety of bourbon barrels. This Barrel-aged Imperial Stout, will warm your soul like the first sweet sips of a spiked latte. Available only on tap.---DEC 19- Beer Release Party for Yule Only Live Once & That Holiday Cake DoughYule Only Live Once - Imperial Dessert Beer modeled after Panettone Italian Christmas cake.
