For the closing weekend of San Diego Beer Week 2022, on Nov 11th we will be offering a huge list of barrel-aged offerings! This year we have chosen seven barrel-aged beers that used either bourbon, wine or rum barrels in the aging process. As part of this line-up, we will have two new barrel-aged beer releases. First, 2022 Barrel-aged Rescue Bouy Imperial Stout will be pouring along with 2022 Barrel-aged Buckwheat Old Ale (collaboration with Horus Aged Ales). These new releases will accompany four vintage barrel-aged elixirs from the past plus the return of our Raspberry wine barrel-aged sour. See below for the menu!

Both locations will be filling a very limited number of mini crowlers with your choice of either of the 2022 newly released beers. This is a great chance to share these beers with your friends, but please arrive early as these crowlers normally sell out very quickly!

A storm looms on the horizon casting its shadow across San Diego county. Fear not… as this storm doesn’t bring foul weather, but rather is the release of a trio of Storm beers! On Nov 4th to kick off 2022 San Diego Beer Week, we are releasing a new batch of (extra Kona coffee) Java Storm, and the first ever batches of Coconut Java Storm and Hazelnut Java Storm! We also have some vintage barrel-aged beers lurking on a special tap, so be sure to ask the bartender what is available.

On the main barrel-aged tap, we will be releasing 2022 Barrel-aged Rescue Buoy Imperial Stout! This year’s batch spent 3 years (yes, 36 months!) in amazing Heaven Hill bourbon barrels. Who else does 3 years? We would recommend getting a pour of Coconut Storm or Hazelnut Storm and doing a nice blend with Barrel-aged Rescue Buoy if you like coffee, coconut or hazelnut flavors in your barrel-aged beers.
