Label Text:

“The Madeira Affair: a taste of volcanic paradise. This imperial stout, imbued with the spirit of the Madeira Islands, erupts with aromas of dark red berries, oak, and chocolate.Embark on a flavor expedition with notes of jammy fruit, dark chocolate, and vanilla, leading to a robust, bold, and dry finish. Pair it with a charcuterie board and set sail on a culinary adventure.”

About The Bruery:

The Bruery is a thirteen year-old craft brewery located in Orange County, CA, known for innovative, inspired, taste-forward beers that push the boundaries of what beer can be. Along with two Tasting Room locations in Orange County, and a store in Washington D.C., The Bruery runs three beer premium beer clubs: The Preservation Society®, The Reserve Society®, and The Hoarders Society®. The Bruery offers direct to consumer delivery across CA, DC, PA, VA, VT, ND, OH, and NH, along with national distribution in 29 states.

To understand what makes The Bruery truly special, you first have to understand how we started: just Patrick Rue in his kitchen with a thirst for knowledge and a passion for how interesting beer can be. It was his passion and insatiable curiosity that led him to open a brewery, build a team of world-class like-minded brewers and eventually earn the title of Master Cicerone. This unique combination of unwavering creativity, unquestionable expertise, and relentless innovation, drive us to craft beers that quite frankly, might change the way you think about beer.

Taste Over Style

This really sums up our brewing philosophy. We never shoot for a specific style, instead we let taste act as our compass. We take our inspiration from the culinary world, traditional beer styles, natural ingredients, vineyards and even junk food, but wherever that journey takes us – taste is our guide.

Like Nothing You’ve Ever Tasted Before

This is our promise, and our goal. Every time you open a beer from The Bruery, we love to see the wow on your face, and the "how’d they do that?" in your eyes. Ultimately we believe this experience just makes live a little bit more interesting. Our beers spark conversations, complement meals, and bring people together. They might even change the way you think about beer.
