Burial Beer Who The Hell Keeps Letting Us Hang Out Unsupervised Collaboration Coming for Burnpile 2026

Burial Beer Who The Hell Keeps Letting Us Hang Out Unsupervised

Burial Beer in Asheville, North Carolina, is once again bringing its distinctive brand of dark, imaginative brewing to Burnpile, and this time the brewery is teaming up with one of New York’s most celebrated names in modern craft beer. The result is an enormous imperial stout with a name that sounds exactly like something you would expect from a Burial Beer collaboration: Burial Beer Who The Hell Keeps Letting Us Hang Out Unsupervised.

Created with Other Half Brewing, the new Burial Beer collaboration is being brewed specifically for Burnpile 2026. The 14% ABV imperial stout is packaged in a 16.9-ounce bottle, and it is aimed squarely at fans who appreciate intensely decadent, pastry-inspired and dessert-driven imperial stouts. Based on the label, this is not a beer designed to play it safe.

The ingredient list reads like an entire dessert menu dropped into a stout: Thai banana, maple, roasted peanut, ice cream, marshmallow, cocoa nibs, truffle, toasted coconut, Burial Griddle Blend coffee, toasted pecan, Oreo bits, sea salt, and both Madagascar and Tahitian vanilla. That combination promises a remarkably layered drinking experience, moving from dark roasted malt and coffee toward chocolate, vanilla, coconut, nutty sweetness, and fruit-driven banana character.

Burial Beer and Other Half Brewing Team Up for a Wild Burnpile 2026 Imperial Stout

The full name, Burial Beer Who The Hell Keeps Letting Us Hang Out Unsupervised, sets the tone before the bottle is even opened. It is playful, chaotic and perfectly suited to the collaboration between Burial Beer and Other Half Brewing. Burial has built a reputation for pushing boundaries across IPAs, imperial stouts, sour ales and barrel-aged beers, while Other Half has become one of the most recognizable names in contemporary American craft brewing.

This isn’t the first time Burial Beer and Other Half Brewing have crossed paths, either. The two breweries have collaborated previously, including Oh I’m Sorry Wangies, a west coast-style double IPA that appeared in Burial’s lineup of collaborations. That history makes the Burnpile 2026 imperial stout an especially interesting reunion for fans of both breweries.

The new stout also fits comfortably into Burial’s long-running Burnpile tradition. The Asheville brewery has repeatedly used the festival as a showcase for ambitious collaborations with breweries from across the country. Previous Burnpile releases have included imperial stouts, double IPAs, pilsners, sours and other highly specialized beers, often arriving in limited quantities and distinctive packaging.

At 14% ABV, Burial Beer Who The Hell Keeps Letting Us Hang Out Unsupervised is firmly in heavyweight territory. The 16.9-ounce bottle format also places it alongside the kind of special-release imperial stouts that beer collectors and fans often seek out for sharing, cellaring or enjoying slowly.

And then there is the label. Burial Beer has always treated its packaging as an extension of the beer itself, and this release is no exception. The artwork features a surreal, jewel-covered figure surrounded by stark black-and-white imagery, with a vibrant hot-air balloon-like element cutting through the center of the design. The visual style is dark, strange and theatrical, matching the beer’s outrageous name and equally outrageous ingredient list.

According to the label, the beer was brewed and bottled by Burial Beer Co. in Asheville, North Carolina, in collaboration with Other Half Brewing. The bottle also confirms the 14% alcohol-by-volume strength.

For fans attending Burnpile 2026, this looks like one of the releases worth keeping an eye on. Burial Beer has not yet provided full festival release details, so availability and release timing should become clearer as Burnpile approaches.

Until then, the name alone should be enough to get people’s attention. Burial Beer Who The Hell Keeps Letting Us Hang Out Unsupervised sounds like an imperial stout that was never interested in moderation—and with Thai banana, maple, roasted peanut, ice cream, marshmallow, cocoa nibs, truffle, coconut, coffee, pecan, Oreo, sea salt and two types of vanilla involved, the ingredient list certainly backs that up.

About Burial Beer Co.

Burial Beer Co. is an acclaimed craft brewery based in Asheville, North Carolina, known for producing intensely expressive beers across a wide range of styles while developing one of the most recognizable visual identities in American craft brewing. Founded by Tim Gormley, Doug Reiser and Jess Reiser, Burial Beer grew from roots in the Pacific Northwest before the founders relocated to Asheville and opened the brewery in 2013. The brewery began in a former transmission shop in Asheville’s South Slope District and has since become an important part of the city’s nationally recognized craft beer culture.

The name Burial Beer carries a deeper meaning connected to New Orleans and its traditions surrounding death, celebration and remembrance. The founders were inspired by the city’s jazz funeral culture, where mourning and celebration exist together and communities come together to honor life. That philosophy continues to influence Burial’s approach to beer, hospitality, art and storytelling.

Today, Burial Beer Asheville is particularly well known for its expansive lineup of hop-forward beers, including IPAs, double IPAs and triple IPAs, as well as imperial stouts, sour ales, lagers, saisons and barrel-aged specialties. The brewery has developed a reputation for beers that combine intense flavor with unusual ingredients, intricate brewing techniques and evocative names. Burial’s imperial stouts frequently incorporate ingredients such as coffee, chocolate, vanilla, coconut, fruit, spices and other dessert-inspired additions, making the brewery a destination for fans of big, decadent dark beers.

Burial Beer is also heavily involved in craft beer collaborations, working with breweries, artists, musicians and other creative partners from around the United States. These collaborations have become a major part of Burial’s identity and have helped connect the Asheville brewery with some of the most respected producers in American craft beer. Its partnership with Other Half Brewing is another example of that collaborative approach, bringing together two breweries known for aggressive flavor profiles, distinctive branding and an experimental approach to modern brewing.

The brewery’s Burnpile festival has become an important part of the Burial Beer calendar. Burnpile brings together an extensive collection of breweries and beer releases, with Burial frequently producing special collaboration beers specifically for the event. These releases can span everything from hop-forward IPAs and double IPAs to pilsners, sour ales and massive imperial stouts. Many of the beers are produced in limited quantities and packaged in formats that appeal to craft beer collectors.

Burial Beer has also developed a reputation for particularly memorable beer label artwork. The brewery’s packaging frequently combines surreal illustrations, dark imagery, unusual typography and elaborate visual concepts that complement the stories behind the beers. For many fans, finding a new Burial Beer release is as much about discovering the artwork and concept as it is about tasting the beer.

The brewery’s Asheville presence has expanded beyond its original South Slope location, with additional brewing and hospitality operations helping Burial Beer establish a broader footprint. Forestry Camp, another major Burial Beer destination, further expanded the brewery’s ability to combine beer, food, design and hospitality into a larger experience.

Burial’s beer portfolio continues to evolve, but the brewery’s central philosophy remains consistent: create distinctive beers that encourage people to connect, explore and appreciate the fleeting nature of life. That philosophy can be seen in everything from the names of its beers to the elaborate artwork on its cans and bottles.

The upcoming Who The Hell Keeps Letting Us Hang Out Unsupervised imperial stout is an especially fitting example of the Burial Beer approach. Created with Other Half Brewing for Burnpile 2026, the 14% ABV stout combines an extraordinary list of ingredients—including Thai banana, maple, roasted peanut, ice cream, marshmallow, cocoa nibs, truffle, toasted coconut, Burial Griddle Blend coffee, toasted pecan, Oreo bits, sea salt, Madagascar vanilla and Tahitian vanilla.

For fans searching for Burial Beer Asheville, Burial Beer collaborations, Burial Beer imperial stouts, Burnpile beers or the latest releases from one of North Carolina’s most adventurous breweries, Burial continues to offer plenty to discover. Its combination of experimental brewing, powerful flavors, elaborate storytelling, striking artwork and collaborations with respected breweries such as Other Half Brewing has made Burial Beer one of the most distinctive names in modern American craft beer.
