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!

3 extra years of aging has definitely changed the flavor.

Wow. This beer is absolutely amazing. Goes down like an old fashion but with a carbonated beer taste. You need to try this. It is unlike anything else

Boozy with brown sugar notes. Booze is upfront and in your face. Orange peel and bitters finish.

HOLY SHIT, this is WILD. Has a bit of that old fashioned flavor and then the Carmel and the vanilla come on the backend. Never had a beer like this. Man this is good.

Nice, sweet, but not artificial or cloying sweetness. I could drink this all day. A sneaky 11.5 with no hint of overly aggressive alcohol flavoring.

Tastes like a legit old fashioned. Cherry and orange with a touch of bitterness. Not too sweet. Tastes like a barelywine base. Everything is perfectly balanced. Not the best beer in the world but 10/10 for style and category.

This beer is unbelievable! I would give it a 5+ if I could. Not too boozy yet so smooth. You guys should grab this if you get the chance. I bought a single but will be stocking up when I get the chance.

That is dead on. The name and art hint at an old fashioned and the description gives it away, but all you need is a taste and you’ll get the maraschino and vermouth notes with sweet bourbon goodness. I’m not wholly unconvinced this isn’t just a beer.
