Happy #NewBrewThursday, Grayslake! Don’t mind Nader’s level of crazy; he’s wearing his Revolution Brewing Happy #NewBrewThursday, Grayslake! Don’t mind Nader’s level of crazy; he’s wearing his Deepwoods Hat to celebrate Strawberry Jacket being on tap! This highly sought-after, barrel-aged barleywine is just one part of a massive drop hitting our shelves today.
- Strawberry Jacket on Tap: This beer is a slightly drier blend of bourbon and rye whiskey barrel English Barleywines aged eighteen months. The process provides a base for the delicate nuances of fresh strawberry to shine, all while retaining the same balance we expect of their beloved Straight Jacket. Reminiscent of a fresh, juicy strawberry atop a crème brûlée, this sipper can accompany dessert or stand on its own.
