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!

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.

A lovely bottle aged beer. Sweet, boozy, a little generic but very tasty.

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

Tons of sweet fruity notes. A light brown ale that hits all the Highball marks, with a nice bourbony kick.

Wow… a brown imperial with the flavor profile of an Old Fashion. An experiment that plays out well in an enjoyable beer that you can drink more than one of

Shared among 6 people. The nose is bright and fruity kinda like a hostess fruit pie. On the tongue it gets deep and dark, with pie spices and brown sugar or molasses. Big bourbon influence, but it doesn't overpower. Astoundingly well balanced beer!
