Summer Party … Hold This Date!

Mark your calendars for a fun event coming up at Rip Current on July 28th! Not only will we have food and special beers making an appearance, but it is also your first chance to experience two special packaged beer releases!

First, bourbon barrel-aged No Hope for Rescue Double Imperial Stout will be released in a new, smaller 500ml bottle.This crazy giant stout was aged in top shelf Heaven Hill bourbon barrels for 20 months allowing all the flavors of the Double Imperial Stout, oak and bourbon to meld harmoniously into a beer you won’t believe is 18.25%!

After producing a series of very popular hazy IPAs for the last year, we have listened to your feedback and are making a limited amount available in cans! Yes, we will be periodically releasing 12oz cans of your favorite draft-only beers starting on July 28th. Our first release is Foggy Nelson hazy IPA. This “foggy” beer features the highly sought after Nelson hop from New Zealand that blasts your palate with juicy tropical fruit flavors.

We hope to see you for an amazing summer bash and dual can/bottle release. Watch our social media feeds for more details over the next few weeks.

Barrel-aged Black Lagoon Bottle Release on June 30th

 

After 2 years maturing in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels, we are thrilled to announce the release of our latest batch of Bourbon Barrel-aged Black Lagoon Scottish Strong on Saturday, June 30th! It will also be available on draft until the keg kicks.

Black Lagoon is our popular Scottish-style Strong Ale (AKA Wee Heavy) that has won many awards in international competitions including a Silver medal at the prestigious 2015 Great American Beer Festival and the 2018 California State Fair.

Black Lagoon has a silky smooth dark malt character with rich caramel, toffee and hints of chocolate and dark fruits. This beer is ideal for extensive barrel aging to round out the spectrum of flavors with bourbon and oak-derived goodness. We don’t rush the barrel-aging process, allowing our beer to blend in the bourbon flavors preserved in the barrel while extracting notes of coconut and vanillin deeper in the oak.

Come try it on tap and buy a bottle to go! This is a limited bottle release, so please don’t wait as they will go fast!
