Bottle Shop Series Highball Drifter

Brown Ale - American

They don't make 'em like they used to... or do they? The bottle shop series is a tribute to the folks who supported ragtag brewer's across the country when craft beer was in its infancy. when beer enthusiasts sought out innovation through big flavor, in your face complexity and revered quality above all else. This series is for you: the distinguished beer connoisseur still seeking the revolution that energized the industry we know today -- that settles for nothing less then the very best!

Founders always does this type of b-a beers right! Nice, creamy mouthfeel and a deep, layered flavor with cherries and caramel and bitters dance around. Don’t sleep on this one!

Overagressive to get a crowler, but that's all the #bottleshop had left. Dark. Boozy. Sweet nose. Orange, zest bite forward. Nice body. Sweet. Boozy. Smooth. Rich. Nice woody, barrel, whiskey flavor. Hits the flavor of the cocktail nicely

Different, unique and delicious. A mashup of an old fashioned and what seems to be an old ale.

Strong, but not with as much of a caramel flavor as I expect with BBA. I can't pick out the cherry or orange, but I think that's what's tempering the bourbon flavor.

This is really good! Nice barrel, caramel, and orange with a burst of cherry at the end. Not my favorite style but this is executed so well.

Really liked this one. It was flatter with very little carbonation and poured with no head. Good smooth taste tho. Got two more. 😊

Bottle Shop Series, bourbon based cocktail, dried fruit, cherry, caramel base. Imperial Double that’s blended spot on. Just slightly boozy.

This beautifully colored, light viscosity beer is a perfect blending of bourbon and hops. It’s hints of toffee and orange add to the taste sensation. Says Jill!

Surprisingly good. The flavors are very nuanced yet spot on. I'm impressed. The citrus is beautifully pronounced and really opens up on the finish. Nice.

The somewhat faint fruit/citrusy crisp taste really makes this beer that much more unique.
