Ska Brewing Releases Barrel-Aged Beers Series No. 2, Bumpier & Grindier

From Ska Brewing:

DURANGO, CO — Ska Brewing don’t see nothin’ wrong with a little bit of bump n’ grind. So much in fact, the brewers decided to bump up their delicious, award-winning Steel Toe Milk Stout like, age it it bourbon barrels, and blend it with local cold-brewed coffee to create Bumpier & Grindier Imperial Coffee Cream Stout, available in 500 ml bombers for one day only.

THE BEER

Bumpier & Grindier was aged American Oak Bourbon Barrels from their friends and long time sister company, Peach Street Distillers, then blended it with hand-selected roasts of Desert Sun Roasters’ cold-brewed coffee. The result is a Bumpier & Grindier Imperial Coffee Cream Stout; the 2nd installation in Ska’s Barrel-Aged Beers program—following the brewery’s Whiskey Sour released earlier this year.

“We decided to call upon two of our friends for this second installation of our Barrel-Aged Beers series to help make it even more memorable,” explains Ska Brewing Sales & Marketing Director Kristen Muraro. “Our sister company, Peach Street Distillers, hold a very close place with us at Ska Brewing. We’ve also have had a long relationship with our neighbors at Desert Sun Roasters and used their coffee as the key ingredient for our original Bump n’ Grind coffee stout— it only seemed natural to rope them in on this even Bumpier & Grindier iteration.”

THE EVENT

Bumpier & Grindier will be available in 500 mL bottles at Ska’s World Headquarters in Durango, Colorado on Friday, November 16. Guests can reserve their bottles for an exclusive beer and food pairing that will take place from 5 to 7pm featuring unique, limited edition Ska beers and an opportunity to meet the brewers and ask questions. $12.99 reserves your bottle at the table– get yours by emailing [email protected] or calling 970-247-5792.
