Tequilla Barrel Aged Otra Vez

6.4% ABV, 9 IBU

For this limited offering we got our hands on some

Reposado Tequila oak barrels and then aged our new

Otra Vez® Gose with Lime and Agave. This Trip in the

Woods starts out tart yet juicy, with hints of lime. For the

finish? The unmistakable silkiness of a classic Reposado.

Estate Farmhouse Ale

6.1% ABV, 5 IBU

We’ve called California’s North Valley home since 1980.

From our Estate fields comes this truly one-of-a-kind

homegrown ale. Our organic hops and barley combine

with yeast spontaneously fermented in our peach orchard

in this unique farmhouse-style ale. Mildly sweet with a bit

of tartness, it’s ripe with the flavors of the valley.

Barrel-Aged Ovila Abbey Ale

11.4% ABV, 40 IBU

Silky smooth and full of flavor, this beer is a blend of our

Barrel-Aged Ovila Abbey Dubbel and Barrel-Aged Ovila

Abbey Brown Ale with mandarins and cocoa.

Vintage Bigfoot

12.1% ABV, 90 IBU

A combination of one, two, and three-year Kentucky

bourbon barrel-aged Bigfoot, this Vintage Bigfoot

Barleywine-Style Ale is a Goldilocks of a blend that’s just

right. Hop bitterness mellows considerably, allowing the

malt character to shine. Flavors of raisin, burnt sugar and

dark fruit come forward with distinct oak and vanilla

aromas. Grab this elusive beast while you can!

Rye Ale

9.2% ABV, 45 IBU

Brewed with Maryland-grown rye and aged in Sagamore

barrels, this red ale delivers the herbal, spicy jolt we

imagined, with depth from

malt sweetness and a hint of

floral hops.

Visions of Sugar Plums

9.9% ABV, 50 IBU

A Belgian-inspired blend of Dubbel, Quad, and a splash

of Bigfoot Barleywine-style Ale—aged in spent red wine,

brandy and bourbon casks—this showcase of barrel

character and malt depth deserves more fridge space

than figgy pudding.

Chocolate Chipotle Stout

10.9% ABV, 71 IBU

As our Chocolate Chipotle Stout matured in freshly emp-

tied Kentucky bourbon barrels, the heat from the Chipotle

peppers mellowed and the chocolate notes

intensified. Velvety smooth notes of bittersweet

chocolate and vanilla from the oak are followed by a

robust earthiness from the peppers and a long, rich finish.

Barrel-Aged Torpedo

8.6% ABV, 65 IBU

Towering tanks with sleek lines, hand-shaped bourbon

barrels, and a final infusion of hop intensity—this is how

we’re celebrating our decade of Torpedo. To mark its

anniversary, we cellared away a fresh batch for months

before recharging the mellowed beer in its namesake,

the Hop Torpedo. The result: bold, fruity hop flavor and

aroma with notes of rich bourbon and vanilla from the

oak. Here’s to 10 years strong.

Rum Barrel-Aged Quad

11.7% ABV, 45 IBU

This classic Quad in rum barrels is a nod to the great

Trappist brewers of Belgium. Deep ruby-brown in color,

the beer is rich and full-bodied with the style’s familiar

dark fruit flavors, while the yeast creates a hint of spice.

Rum barrels impart delicate sweetness and complexity to

this beer that can be enjoyed today or cellared for years

to come.

Cork and Cage Service | $20 Per Bottle
