- Shamrock Bourbon Barrel-Aged Stout (14.3% ABV): A massive, high-gravity stout aged in bourbon barrels. This festive release is infused with a hint of mint and a touch of mocha. Paraphrased reviews highlight its luxurious body, where rich chocolate and barrel-vanilla meet a subtle, cooling mint finish—like a decadent “thin mint” in liquid form.
Wasteland & Craft Sodas
- 1919 Root Beer: (Restocked!) The legendary, draft-style root beer is back in convenient 7.5 oz. pony cans. Brewed in small batches using real sugar and real vanilla, 1919 is celebrated for being one of the creamiest, full-bodied root beers available. It is naturally caffeine-free and follows a unique recipe that dates back to the prohibition era. | Find more from 1919 here
- Jones Soda x Fallout: Sunset Sarsaparilla: Straight from the Mojave Wasteland to Grayslake! This special collaboration captures the nostalgic, spiced root flavor of the iconic Fallout beverage. It features a smooth, sarsaparilla-spiced profile and a “Blue Star” hunt on select bottles for a chance to win prizes. | Find more from Jones Soda here
