Limited availability on draft and in bottle! RAGN

Limited availability on draft and in bottle!
RAGNARöK is Old Norse for "Fate of the gods." Vikings believed that this would be the end of times and after great battles and natural disasters, the world would be submerged in water. The 2020 Ragnarök is a SPONTANEOUSLY FERMENTED red sour that we aged in a 600L puncheon and gave a final rest with peaches.
We brewed this spontaneous sour ale in our coolship during the spring of 2019 and let it age until summer of 2020. The result is a complex fruity, funky sour beer to be enjoyed now or aged for years to come.
ABV: 7%
•
•
We released the last Ragnarök vintage during after the 2016/2017 snowmageddon. We thought it fitting to bring it back as 2020 continues to be 2020. 😳

Happy Friday and BARREL AGED BEER DAY! We have a very limited quantity of our 2020 Huckleberry SPAWN OF BARBARIAN on draft at both Barbarian taprooms.
•
•
This spontaneously fermented sour Spawn of Barbarian was born on a chilly autumn night in 2018. It then hibernated in a neutral 600 liter oak puncheon until it was awakened by a feast of Idaho huckleberries in the spring of 2020. This version of Spawn is significantly more acidic than the 2018 vintage, so beware of its bite!
DRAFT and 500ml bottles available at both Barbarian Taprooms for a limited time.
•
•
We have more than 100 oak barrels aging small boutique batches of imperial stouts, Scottish Ales, sours and brettanomyces funky ales. @barbariandowntown currently has six barrel aged beers on draft and the Garden City Taproom has four barrel aged ales on draft.

OLD MAN DIRK:
The Bourbon barrel aged version of our Scottish ale, the Dirk, which was named after the handsome lad on the bottle label.
