Curmudgeon's Better Half

Old Ale

Curmudgeon is an old ale brewed with molasses and aged on oak; it becomes Better Half after aging—for 254 days—in bourbon barrels that have more recently been aging Michigan maple syrup. As a result, Curmudgeon’s Better Half is a bit sweeter than her miserly counterpart.

From August of 2018. Let’s see if it’s conditioned and aged well

Massive maple bourbon woody oak. Absolutely no alcohol heat. Sooo much better than the bottles. Lovely body rich and slightly sweet. Fantastic!

Last time I was here (and the last time I had this beer) was their last day open before the PLANdemic - March 15, 2020. Happy to see this place open again!

2018 vintage, given to catie from her in-laws for her wedding...but she was kind enough to share with me for my 30th birthday! So I’m drinking to celebrate my first day back in the office after 5 months of work from home.

Small town grocery store had some on the shelf today. Bottled 2 years and 1 day ago, labeled as "new". Has aged wonderfully: sticky sweet, and more hops spice than I remember.
