Red Brick Imperial Stout

Red Brick Brewing (Atlanta, GA) is taking a hint from the lovers of 20th Anniversary Imperial Stout, when it comes to their upcoming Imperial Stout release.

The 20th Anniversary release (imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels) was one of the brewery’s fastest selling, and most desired barrel aged beers to date. This February, the brewery will launch another rendition of the stout offering.

The Red Brick brewing team recreated the base imperial stout, and has been aging half of it in oak bourbon barrels.

It features big notes of dark chocolate and espresso beans with a mild oak character.

Look for Red Brick Imperial Stout to hit shelves in February, 2015. Part of the brewery’s Brick Mason Series.

Style: Imperial Stout (50% Barrel Aged. Bourbon.)

Availability: 12oz bottles, Draft. Limited release.

Release: February, 2015

10.% ABV, 60 IBUs

One of the most sought after beers in the world, Russian River Pliny the Younger returns again on February 6th, 2015.

Russian River calls it a “triple” ipa, basically for the motherlode of hops and big ABV that goes along with each glass. Younger is only available on draft (typically in 10oz pours) and never available for growler fills. 2015 marks the 11th year for this brew.

“It’s on! Eric and RJ are brewing the first batches of Pliny the Younger at the pub. It is our 11th year brewing this seasonal winter brew. RJ is new to our brewing team and thought Vinnie may have made a typo on the recipe. Yep. That’s the right amount of hops for Younger! Release date is still set for Friday, February 6th! More details coming soon!”

Extremely limited release of Russian River Pliny the Younger begins the week of February 6th, 2015, and over the course of two weeks at the pub after the first day. Distributors in San Jose, Sacramento, Oregon, Colorado, and Philadelphia will receive their kegs sometime in February.

Style: Imperial IPA

Availability: Draft only

Arrivals: 2/6/2015 (at Russian River). Extremely limited other markets, TBA
