About this episode

This episode features a discussion on big stouts and highlights two unique beers from Ranger Creek Brewing and Evil Twin Brewing NYC.

We get a little rowdy this episode with some crazy big stouts. With all the craziness happening in the US these days, we thought it would be fun to remind everyone that beer doesn't care about politics. First up is Ranger Creek Brewing's Texas Bourbon Barrel Series Imperial Coffee Ale. This imperial brown ale clocks in at 11.6% ABV and gives you a warm bourbon, coffee kiss of happiness. We love Evil Twin Brewing NYC. They have been killing the beer game for years. The Great Northern Barrel Aged Series 29 is a 15% ABV imperial stout. Barrel-aged for 36 months in Sine Qua Non red wine barrels then in Henry McKenna 11yr old bourbon barrels before it's conditioned on bourbon soaked coffee and vanilla. That's a lot of work and the results really show the effort. #beer #craftbeer #drinks #imperialstout #imperialbrownale
