What the brewers say

“Fresh roasted coffee and toasted coconut added to our Weller barrel–aged stout.”

What our panel thought

“Dark-roast coffee combines with earthy hop notes, oak, vanilla notes. Initial sip is sweet with coconut, chocolate, sweetened condensed milk. Some roast coffee notes attempt to balance the sweetness.”

What our editors thought

“Strong coffee nose steals the spotlight, with some light green-pepper/vegetal notes creeping in. The sip dives into full caramel latté territory, thick and syrupy with an intense sweet decadence only broken by reminders from the aroma.”

REVIEWS FOR YOU >

Barn Town Brewing Co. Vanilla Chocolate City

“Velvety vanilla, whiskey, tobacco, toasted cocoa in the nose. Very flavor-forward: sweet raw vanilla, sweet caramel, but a chocolate bomb! Brownie base and Tootsie Roll. Long, sweet finish.”

Barn Town Brewing Co. Stink Stank Stunk

“Bright and sunny from the first sip. Hefty hop aroma, with notes of bright orange, honey. Popping flavors of honey, tangerine, orange, peach held together by a soft, lightly grainy malt structure. Slight sweetness stays on the tongue. On and off the tongue quickly. Slight warming in the middle, but this is all balanced and executed quite well.”

Barn Town Brewing Co. Neon Hazy IPA

“A sweet grapefruit, tropical-fruit, candied-orange, pine aroma. Substantial malt, but still hop-forward with green herbs, pine, lemon drops. Firm bitterness is balanced with spicy alcohol notes. The finish has strong grapefruit notes, so while the beer starts with an impression of sweetness, that vanishes at the end.”

New Belgium Dominga Grapefruit

New Belgium wood cellar blender Lauren Limbach was gifted a new foeder that she aptly named Dominga—a play on the Spanish word for Sunday. She first created a mimosa-inspired golden sour called “Dominga: Goddess of Brunch.” Now we are excited to introduce the cocktail-inspired version, Dominga Grapefruit Paloma. Inspired by the classic cocktail of Mexico, Dominga packs a refreshing combo of bright grapefruit and lime flavors, along with agave and a pinch of salt.

Firestone Walker Oaktoberfest

Oaktoberfest is our oak-inspired homage to the great German tradition of Oktoberfest. We go the extra mile of maturing this beer in French oak barrels to create an amazingly smooth mouthfeel. The result is a classic German festbier with a hint of West Coast hoppiness. Grab your stein, don your lederhosen, and enjoy!

Firestone Walker Parabola ’24

Parabola is always a beast of a beer, with intense flavors of black cherry, dark chocolate, vanilla, and roast coffee—yet each annual release also bears its own subtle imprint. For this latest edition, we aged the beer for a year in 12-year Elijah Craig barrels. These coveted bourbon barrels imparted signature notes of charred oak, caramel, and cinnamon, taking the Parabola experience to new heights. Pour some out in your favorite snifter; behold the impossibly opaque color as you allow it to warm up a bit; and then let the dark magic of Parabola stun your palate with its unrivaled flavor and complexity.

Head into orbit with this 8 percent ABV hazy double IPA before the next Hazy IPA rotator hits. Look for Cosmic Little Thing in six-packs and 19.2 oz singles.

The result is a level of flavor, aroma, and mouthfeel that can only materialize at high strength, crossing the line into a whole new cosmos of punchy mango and pineapple character. SKUs available: 12 oz six-pack cans, 19.2 oz single serve, and Mind Haze Variety Pack.
