Burial Beer Working On The Distorted Reflections Laced Inside Our Earthly Undoings & I Envisioned A Future I Never Hope To Encounter For Burnpile ’25

I brought you several of these collaboration beers brewed for Burnpile ‘25, and now I have more from Burial Beer in Asheville, North Carolina. The Distorted Reflections Laced Inside Our Earthly Undoings will be a Bourbon barrel-aged imperial stout with a carefully selected blend of vanilla beans. This beer will be a collaboration with California’s Cellarmaker Brewing Company, and it will clock in at 15%-AbV. I Envisioned A Future I Never Hope To Encounter will be a golden sour ale with Pinot Gris grapes that will hit 8.2%-AbV. Both of these beers will be brewed for Burnpile ‘25, and both beers will be packaged in 16.9-oz bottles. Stay tuned for full festival release details.

About Burial Beer:

The products and experiences that we dream up for you are meant to enhance connection and stimulate thought. This life isn’t long – so you can be damn sure we’ll make our time count.

Burial Beer Co. was dreamt up in Seattle by friends Tim Gormley and Doug and Jess Reiser. The three dove deep into the craft beer scene during their time in the PNW, which ultimately led to the decision to open their own brewery.

The name Burial and the brand that the company embodies was deeply inspired by the city of New Orleans, where Doug and Jess had lived prior to their time in Seattle. In NOLA, there’s a strong culture of celebrating life. Funeral processions become large parades with instruments, singing, and dancing. Everybody stops and joins in, even if they don’t know the deceased. We view our products, places, and experiences through this very lens, celebrating life’s fleeting moments with mindfulness and introspection.

The search for the perfect location ended when they found Asheville, NC. The three moved across the country in 2012, found an old transmission shop that would eventually become the original brewery and taproom, and opened their doors to the public in 2013 with a 1-barrel system in AVL’s South Slope District.

Burial Beer Co. is a brewery based in Asheville, North Carolina that produces a variety of beers, including IPAs, stouts, and other styles. The brewery’s name and brand are inspired by the New Orleans jazz funeral tradition of celebrating life while honoring the dead.
