McMenamins releases Longest Night Barleywine and 5th Floor IPA

McMenamins Breweries has released a new beer in cans called 5th Floor IPA and the 2019 vintage of their barrel-aged barleywine Longest Night of the Year in bottles.

Longest Night

After aging in Hogshead Whiskey barrels, this beer is a true example of a classic, barrel-aged English Barleywine. Already a formidable ale in its own right, it has matured into a flavorful, complex behemoth. It offers flavors of toffee, caramel, and a warming alcohol character that's been rounded and accentuated by notes of raisin, vanilla, and oak from its aging.

5th Floor IPA

Named for the peculiar, diminutive fifth floor of the Tacoma Elks Temple, this IPA is shrouded in mysticism. Your experience will begin with aromas of grapefruit, orange and bright pine.

Let 5th Floor IPA be your guide as you hunt for this hidden level, and through any other quest your heart desires.
