It’s a bit of a mind bender how a little brewery that started 25 years ago in a basement in downtown Blanco could grow into the brewery that we are today. With that spirit as our inspiration, we decided to create a beer as surreal as it is satisfying, just like our 25th Anniversary itself. This golden stout starts with classic American 2-row barley, a dose of Munich malt for a rich toasty note, and some flaked oats to add a silky mouthfeel. From there, we take the beer in a new direction, and that’s where the mind-bending begins. Unlike a traditional stout, which is typically brewed using roasted malt, we opt for natural additions, like coffee beans and cacao nibs, that mimic these dark chocolate and espresso flavors that traditionally come from grains. In the end, you’re left with a truly trippy beer that has the appearance of a perfect summer sipper and all the complexity of a dark velvety stout.
