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 '25
BBA MEXICAN CHOCOLATE IMPERIAL STOUT
Our Spring release is rich with whiskey and oak from a two-year aging process in toasted bourbon casks. After blending, we added ancho chilies, cayenne peppers, Saigon cinnamon, and cocoa nibs to create the perfect Mexican chocolate inspired beer. The chilies help to balance the alcohol and give depth of flavor. Dark chocolate adds its own flair, while also helping to meld the different spices together. This is a big full-bodied stout that is best enjoyed slightly warmed.
11.5% ABV | 70 IBU
WINTER '24
STRONG ALE W/ MAPLE, CINNAMON, VANILLA
Our seasonal winter-warmer is amber hued, high-ABV, Strong Ale with notes of toffee, macadamia nuts, maple, and honey. A robust grain bill of various caramel malts, Victory, Honey malt, and oats create a sturdy backbone to stand up the hefty ABV while ensuring the beer stays silky rather than hot. The overall impression is a quaffable winter ale that is best enjoyed slightly warmed and sipped out of a snifter or tulip.
12.6% ABV | 30 IBU
5.9% ABV | 40 IBU
AUTUMN '24
OAK-AGED GERMAN LAGER
In an effort to add some seasonal variety to the Four Season program, our brewers took a break from the usual big stout Four Seasons has become known for, to a more approachable Oak-aged German-style Lager. Using virgin, medium-toast oak casks, we laid down our German Festbier just long enough to pick-up some mild oak tannins to balance notes of honey, toasted bread, and a touch of malt sweetness. The malt base consists of premium Pilsen with an all-German specialty blend of Vienna and Munich. Noble hop varietals lend an appropriate earthy and herbal characteristic to achieve total balance to a complex, yet highly drinkable lager.
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
SUMMER '24
COLLABORATION WEST-COAST IPA w/ CORONADO BREWING
Brewed with our friends at Coronado Brewing Company, we designed a West Coast IPA that pays homage to the oldschool, but with a modern twist. We wanted shades of the classic grapefruit, resin and pine IPAs of 2010, but by way of new hop varietals. Instead of Centennial, Cascade, and Chinook, we used Talus, Elani, and Simcoe. The results are similar, but better. Bright ruby red grapefruit, lime zest, and pine dominate the flavor and aroma and there is a light, balanced malt bill that make the hops shine.
7.3% ABV | 73 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
