The Bruery Bourbon Barrel Aged Six Geese-A-Laying and Blue BBLS Go On Sale This Month
(Placentia,CA) – The Bruery announced two new beers available for purchase to their Reserve and Hoarder’s society. One is the barrel aged version of last year’s Six Geese-A-Laying as well as Blue BBLS. Read on for descriptions of these new beers. Cheers!
Bourbon Barrel Aged Six Geese-A-Laying – 12.9% abv. Reserve Society Exclusive
6 Geese-A-Laying is the 6th beer in our “12 Days of Christmas” series and is a return to the more classic dark and toasty winter ale, following the appropriately blonde 5 Golden Rings. Brewed with cape gooseberries, this malty ale displays notes of plums, dark cherry and bright, citrus-like flavors from the namesake berries. The bourbon barrel aged variation showcases oaky vanillin and caramel-like sweetness from a year aged in previously-used barrels.
Blue BBLs – 15.9% abv. Hoarders Society Exclusive
In brewing, BBL is the notation for “barrel,” a unit of measurement equal to 31 gallons. This is not to be confused with an oak barrel, which typically holds nearly two BBLs of beer. Still with us? Great.
A special blend of our bourbon barrel aged imperial stout with our bourbon barrel aged sour stout, plus an addition of juicy blueberries, Blue BBLs finishes with incredibly vinous tones. The acidity from the sour stout matches perfectly with the sweet malt character of the imperial stout and the fruity tannins from the berries round everything together. Notes of red wine, blueberry skins, toffee and roasted oak. A fine edition to the line up of Hoarders Society exclusive ales.
