About this release

An exclusive Brewmaster's Collective collaboration with The Bruery: a decadent barleywine co-fermented with maple syrup and subsequently aged 8 months in brandy barrels. The unique fermentation and barrel finishing result in a sweet, malty profile with overwhelming flavors of maple syrup, toffee, bananas foster, candied apple and figs. Heavy Things is an ambitious beer project that combines the expertise of two respected breweries. Firestone Walker Brewing Company from Paso Robles, USA collaborated with The Bruery to bring this complex barleywine to life. With a powerful alcohol content of 16.5 percent, this beer offers a full, rich experience that you'll want to savor slowly. The combination of maple syrup during fermentation and eight months of aging in brandy barrels creates an impressive layering of flavors. Besides the prominent maple syrup and toffee notes, you'll discover subtle hints of bananas foster, candied apple and figs. These fruity elements dance together with the malty foundation, resulting in a beer that feels both decadent and balanced. This is a beer for special occasions, ideal to enjoy alone or share with friends. The full body and complex flavor profile make Heavy Things a worthy addition to any beer lover's collection.
