We’re excited to be bottling St. Klippenstein, a bourbon barrel-aged strong stout inspired by one of our favorite made up holidays. Brewed with an array of dark roasted malts and hopped with Chinook and Northern brewer, this beer has notes of vanilla, coconut and oak. It’ll be making its way out into the world sometime in February. Yum!
