Hi-Wire - 9th Anniversary Amber Lager aged in Bulleit Bourbon Barrels

To celebrate our ninth year as beer-makers we crafted a Bulleit Bourbon barrel-aged Amber Lager. This special release started as a bock base that saw primary fermentation in stainless tanks before being lagered cold in freshly dumped Bulleit Bourbon barrels for 8 weeks. The resulting liquid is full of cherry and dark fruit notes with a pinch of clove and rye spice on the back end. This beer sips like a clean, malty lager but finishes like a whisky served neat.
