AleSmith – Reforged Bourbon Barrel 20th Anniversary Ale Coming 9/9

Bottle Sale: Wednesday, September 9th-11am PST

REFORGED: Barrel-Aged 20th Anniversary Ale

Commemorating our 20th Anniversary and the creation of our new brewery, we pay homage to the ol’ days by introducing our first ever barrel-aged blend. Reforged 20th Anniversary Ale is a triple-barrel fusion of our three original high-gravity beers: Wee Heavy (Scotch Ale), Speedway Stout (Imperial Stout w/coffee), and Old Numbskull (Barley wine).  A proprietary blend was carefully established by AleSmith’s elite Sensory Team of BJCP Beer Judges and Brew Team members.  The result: A 100% barrel-aged brew which balances the oaky, rich flavors of bourbon with Wee Heavy’svanilla notes, Speedway’s chocolatey coffee layers, and Old Numbskull’s caramel undertones. Share and celebrate this exclusive specialty with friends and family now or age at a cool temperature to enhance the beer’s numerous complexities. Cheers to twenty years!

Bottles can be picked up starting Saturday, September 19^thduring our Release Party & Farewell to Cabot event, beginning at 11am. Bottles can then be retrieved during tasting room hours from Saturday, September 19th through Sunday, November 1st, 2015. *Any bottles not retrieved by SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 1ST will be surrendered back to the brewery.

**The bottle limit was carefully selected by the AleSmith Team and its executive members in response to feedback from previous Brown Paper Ticket releases. This number was reached based on both data from past sales and the total number of bottles available. We aim to make these sales as fair as humanly possible while also getting the beer into as many hands as we can. 

Since 1995 we have set up shop in the corner of the small industrial complex off Cabot Drive. Over the years, we have grown within this space until we couldn’t grow any more. Now, with the opening of AleSmith 2.0 off AleSmith Court it is time for us to say goodbye to the home that helped make us who we are today.
