FOUR SEASONS
The Four Seasons of Mother Earth is the top-tier of our beer program. Mostly barrel-aged, limited production, and exclusive distribution ensures the integrity of these unique, sought after concoctions. Occasionally collaborations with like-minded breweries are featured to provide a fun and creative outlet for our brewers that lead to special (and often impossible to recreate) handcrafted ales. This is the crème de la crème of our catalog.
SPRING '24
BBA IMPERIAL BROWN W/ COCONUT, CHOCOLATE, & COFFEE
Using an amped up version of our gold medal-winning brown ale, we layered in toasted coconut, cocoa nibs, and Papua New Guinea Arabica coffee beans in addition to carefully chosen caramel and roasted malts. The impression is a warming 13% silky brew that layers dessert-like flavors and a bit of residual malt sweetness to balance the alcohol. Nuanced nuttiness and toffee candy dance on the rim at the finish.
13.0% ABV | 35 IBU
WINTER '23
BBA TRIPLE BERRY IMPERIAL STOUT
This decadent winter-warmer features blends of multiple vintages of our award-winning Russian Imperial Stout to lay down a velvety base that spends a minimum of 6 months in Bourbon Barrels. During secondary fermentation, we added 10 lbs per barrel of USA-grown mixed berries into the barrels for additional conditioning time to create a bright, fresh, authentic fruit flavor that goes beautifully with the rich, roasty, chocolatey malt flavors of the Imperial stout. The beer is intentionally left full bodied, with enough residual sugar to balance the hefty ABV.
11.8% ABV | 65 IBU
11.3% ABV | 55 IBU
AUTUMN '23
BBA COCKTAIL-INSPIRED IMPERIAL STOUT
This Southern whiskey-based classic leans heavily on barrel-aged spirit and is accented by oak and aromatic bitters. The original utilized a lemon garnish and sometimes, an absinthe wash, which we’ve simulated by adding just a touch of lemon peel and anise, respectively. The sweetness and bitters balance the alcohol while anise and lemon peel draw out the nuances of the whiskey. To help add backbone, a complex flavor profile was achieved using various toasted malts, such as Victory and Special B, in addition to oats and Carapils for body. This full-bodied stout will instantly transport you to simpler times, and pays a nod to the original timeless cocktail.
SUMMER '23
COLLABORATION DIPA
Teaming up with our friends at Bale Breaker Brewing Co., we designed a banger of an IPA using Galaxy, Citra from an exceptional crop year, and HBC 586 - one of the most promising experimental varieties available which highlights big notes of peach, passionfruit, apricot and grapefruit. Expect a bitter, dry, and super clean brew with tons of mid-palate complexity, and a bright, hoppy finish.
