Tomorrow Is Already Here (2024)
Double Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout
13.4% ABV
For this year's vintage of Tomorrow Is Already Here, our team tasted through our cellar and selected some of our favorite Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stouts. These barrels, with an average age of 25 months, were blended and Double Barrel-Aged for an additional three months in separate spirits casks. After aging, these casks were blended and conditioned in stainless for four weeks prior to bottling. Our 2024 Tomorrow Is Already Here pours jet black with a tan foam and brings complex notes of caramel, vanilla bean and coconut with highlights of fresh baked cinnamon pastry and additional layers of sweet cake frosting and dark mocha.

Enchanted Grove
Spontaneous
Back in 2021 we got together with our friends from Primitive for a collaborative Spontaneous blend that would become Enchanted Grove. For this blend, we chose some mature spontaneously fermented beer across three brewing seasons, with the oldest component from the early spring of 2018. A portion of this blend was also aged in large cognac puncheons. After blending, we allowed this beer to continue to mellow for an additional two years. In the winter of 2023, we sourced New Jersey grown yuzu and sudachi citrus fruits which we zested and added directly to the blend before bottling. At the time of bottling, this blend had an average age of 58 months, making it our most mature spontaneously fermented blend to date. Enchanted Grove has been conditioning since its bottling in early 2024. Enchanted Grove pours a golden orange with aromatics of orange blossom and orange citrus with an underlying complexity of yeasty cellar funk. It offers flavors of lemon-lime soda, white wine raisins, lemon custard and apple blossoms with a well-integrated acid profile supported by high carbonation.

Apiary | Blend N°2
Saison
Apiary | Blend N°2 was brewed in September of 2023 with a blend of pilsner, chitted barley and raw spelt. We utilize a traditional step-mashing process to accentuate an extra-dry and thirst-quenching drinking experience. We hop Apiary with both aged and fresh hops in the kettle to drive aromatics of fresh grapefruit, white pepper and pleasant floral notes. Apiary also receives a large addition of New Jersey harvested blueberry blossom honey, which drives additional floral aromatics, mouthfeel and acidity complexity. Apiary is fermented directly in oak with our Saison yeast along with our resident microflora. Just prior to bottling, we blended in a small portion of mature 4-year-old foudre-aged spontaneously fermented beer to bring depth and complexity to the blend. At bottling, Apiary has an average age of 10 months and has been conditioning since its bottling March 2024. Apiary Blend No2 pours a pale straw color with an effervescent, prickly carbonation, pungent aromatics of fresh noble hops featuring fresh lemon and herbal notes, blueberry blossom honey shows through in the clean waxy mouthfeel which is supported by a pleasant hoppy bitterness and lightly developing acidity
