Temperance Announces Their 2022 Might Meets Right Barrel-Aged Lineup & More

We’re happy to introduce you to our 2022 Might Meets Right barrel-aged stouts! This year’s offerings take the imperial stout from Temperance, Evanston’s first brewery, and age it in rye and bourbon barrels from FEW Spirits, the city’s first distillery. Now in our sixth release of Might Meets Right variants, we’re proud and excited to offer you the first taste of the 2022 vintage:

2022 MIGHT MEETS RIGHT VARIANTS
FEW™ Rye (11.5% ABV)
After aging in a FEW™ rye whiskey barrels, the rich dark malts mellow and take on notes of oak, vanillin, and a hint of spice.
FEW™ Bourbon (12% ABV)
After aging in a FEW™ bourbon whiskey barrels, the rich dark malts mellow and take on notes of dark chocolate, sweet cherry, and luscious dark fruit.
¡La Sorpresa! (11.8% ABV)
Each vintage is slightly different depending on the cinnamon, the peppers, and the barrels, but it’s always inspired by spicy, cinnamony Mexican hot chocolate (and this year with four times the amount of vanilla beans!).
Coconut Coffee (toasted coconut with Tugboat cold brew) (11.8% ABV)
After aging in a combination of FEW™ bourbon & rye barrels, we add toasted coconut and Tugboat Coffee cold brew, and the result is a beverage that blends the best parts of island delights and winter warmers.
Join us on Thursday, November 10 from 7-9 pm to be the first to taste our 2022 variants at our Pre-Release Sneak Peek!

(TWO!) BARREL-AGED RELEASES THIS FRIDAY

But that’s not all! Tomorrow at noon we have not one, but two limited barrel-aged releases! Barrel-Aged Birdsong, our saison aged in a mix of oak barrels that held gin in virgin oak as well as oak barrels that first held whiskey. The second is Barrel-Aged Quotidienne, our Belgian Dubbel aged in cherry brandy barrels. These are very special beers! Both will be on tap and in 4 packs to-go (while they last…).
