Breakside Brewery Rolls Out Bourbon Barrel-Aged Aztec
(Portland, OR) – September is a busy month for Breakside Brewery as we roll out bottles and limited draft of the 2014 vintage of Bourbon Barrel-Aged Aztec ale and settle in for events at the brand new First National Taphouse and fine dining at Raven & Rose in Portland.
Bourbon Barrel-Aged Aztec Ale is one of Breakside’s most award-winning and signature beers with an intense balance of whiskey, chocolate and chile heat.
Brewing something people should know about?
Since 2007, The Full Pint has been where craft beer fans get their news. Breweries and beer brands can reach them too.
A strong amber ale made with chocolate and two types of chilies, it quickly gained a loyal following among the small brewpub’s regulars. But, what can you do to improve upon a beer that’s been named one of the top 5 beers in Oregon? A beer that’s many of Portland’s most badass chefs have named as their favorite? The simple answer…age it in whiskey barrels.
The 2014 barrel-aged version of our Aztec Ale is 10.6% ABV, 36 IBUs and delicious as hell. Notes of chocolate combine with vanilla, coconut and habanero to produce a beer that is agressive, rich and balanced. Skeptical? You’ll have to taste it to understand: this beer is about sieakside since day one.
