Lagunitas ScareCity #3: High West-ified Imperial Stout

Lagunitas ScareCity #3: High West-ified Imperial Stout Up until this brew, none of Lagunitas’ barrel-aged adventures ever made it to shelves. They’ve been super-limited draft-only releases. This time we’ve made enough to actually bottle some ¦ The 100% barrel-aged 2015 High West-ified Coffee Stout. Ale brewed with Coffee from our friends at Petaluma Coffee & Tea, then aged in Rye Whiskey barrels from our friends at High West Distillery in Park City, Utah ¦ barrels that held High West’s Double Rye and American Prairie Bourbon, to be exact. Cheers! Nectar from the source, from cast-against-type Utah. Latent heat of evaporation causes apparitions to rise up the column. They rise and condense and cooly run off. Oak barrels, just wood, made magic by a higher power, filled to the bung for a time are then drained. Potential energy. The desire to fall. The barrels rolled west downslope out of north central Utah, outta 6,780 ft County of Summit, into the Basin, past the temptations of Wendover, across basin through range, escaping the Great Humboldt Sink, clim the Cretateous subduction’s saw-faced batholitic intrusion, down the Smartville Ophiolite, through the gentle Coast Range onto delta, landing gently in Petaluma, where we just plain filled them with beer. That’s all there is to it. C’mon by and hang with us sometime.. ABV: 12%
