8/25/2016 -- Twin Leaf Brewing Double Bottle Release

Twin Leaf Brewery Hosts Double Bottle Release Thursday, August 25th.

Twin Leaf Brewery collaborated with the Asheville Museum of Science (AMOS), to create two beers that will raise funds for the museum’s spotlight campaign. The collaboration supports AMOS’s expansion into the Wells Fargo building adjacent to Pritchard Park, a move which will almost double its exhibit and classroom space and allow for expanded science education programming in Western North Carolina.

The collaboration beers are two versions of imperial stout. The more traditional stout, Mass Extinction, was aged in stainless for four months. The second beer, which carries the same namesake, was barrel-aged in bourbon barrels for a year. Barrel-Aged Mass Extinction boasts added flavors of vanilla and tannic bitterness due to the barrels. In addition to the same name, both beers have a T-rex on their label, an image that has become symbolic of the museum, as they have acquired a juvenile “cousin” to the T-Rex for their exhibits.

The organizations will celebrate the collaboration at Twin Leaf’s South Slope location on Thursday, August 25th from 6:00 pm to 8:30 pm. Representatives from AMOS and Twin Leaf will be available during the event along with draft versions of both imperial stouts. Bottles will be also be for sale Thursday evening. Only a limited number of bottles are available.
