The brewery became known worldwide with the Bourbon County Brand Stout, one of the first beers aged in bourbon barrels and a game-changer for barrel aging. This innovative approach laid the foundation for their rich heritage of craftsmanship and experimentation. This 2018 vintage is a perfect example of their groundbreaking work and remains an absolute must-have for collectors and true lovers of barrel-aged stouts.

A beer that distinguishes itself in any collection through its history, origin and refined profile, and deserves a worthy moment of enjoyment.
