Fremont Brewing proudly proclaims that everything they know about time and aging was learned from barrels. Running their Seattle, Washington brewery for 11 years has culminated in one of the most impressive barrel programs in the country. All that has brought us the release of their Barrel Aged 11th Anniversary Stout this Thursday, August 13th for online sales and bottles direct from the brewery. This years edition of the anniversary beer comes in wax dipped 22oz bottles and 1.5L magnums and an even more limited Peated whiskey edition.

Barrel Aged 11th Anniversary Stout is an adventurous blend of stout aged in 8-10 years old Heaven Hill bourbon barrels, stout aged in 8-10 years old Heaven Hill bourbon barrels with tart Montmorency and Dark Tart cherries from Royal Ridge Fruits, and stout aged in vanilla extract barrels which previously held bourbon. Blending all three produced a sweet, complex, and creamy stout with just enough bitterness to keep everything in harmony.

Barrel Aged 11^th Anniversary Stout comes in 22 oz.  wax dipped bottles with a very limited number of 1.5L magnums, sold direct from the brewery.

Unique this year will also be Barrel Aged 11th Anniversary Peated Stout; imperial stout aged for 15 months in Westland Peated Whiskey Barrels. Bottles of Barrel Aged 11th Anniversary Peated Stout will only be sold direct from the brewery. 

Barrel Aged 11^th Anniversary Stout will be released online on Thursday, August 13, with Magnums releasing at 11 AM, Barrel Aged 11th Anniversary Peated Stout at 2 PM and Barrel Aged 11th Anniversary Stout releasing at 5 PM. All times Seattle. Details at FremontBrewing.com/anniversary.  Barrel Aged 11^th Anniversary Stout distribution will follow via our distribution network.
