12/16/2021 -- 2021 Might Meets Right Pre-Release Sneak Peek

Join us to be the first to taste our 2021 variants at our Pre-Release Sneak Peek.

Back in 2017, we introduced something new to Chicago-area barrel-aged stout enthusiasts: a four-pack of 12 oz cans that included one of each variant.

Some called our Might Meets Right variety pack innovative, but really the mixed four-pack and the 12 oz cans came about because of helpful feedback from all of you. Thus, with the 2017 vintage, you, the barrel-aged stout enthusiast, were for the first time ever (at least here in Chicagoland) able to go to a barrel-aged stout release and walk away with each variant in a manageable size (no more bombers!) at a manageable price.

Now in our fifth release of Might Meets Right variants, we're proud and excited to offer you the first taste of the 2021 vintage:

High West — aged once again in High West whiskey barrels, but this time in a combination of rye and bourbon, and these barrels were wet! Lots of barrel, vanilla, oak and whiskey notes and flavors to enjoy as you sip.

¡La Sorpresa! — Inspired by spicy, cinnamony Mexican hot chocolate, we load this variant with roasted cacao nibs, espresso powder, vanilla beans, toasted cassia cinnamon (sourced from our friends at @thespicehouse), and ancho, New Mexico, and arbol chiles. A complex and unforgettably delicious beer with a picante finish! (This is the only variant we've produced all five years!)

Praline (NEW FOR 2021) — Caramel and pecan flavors mix with vanilla and the rich chocolate malt to create a most decadent liquid dessert.

Orange Chocolate (NEW FOR 2021) — With judicious amounts of Spice House roasted cacao nibs and dried sweet orange peel, this variant tantalizes with well-integrated notes and flavors of orange liqueur and dark chocolate.

For your hard-earned money, you will not only be the first to enjoy a 6 oz pour of each variant and take home a mixed four-pack, but you will also keep your 6 oz Temperance barrel-aged glass, mingle with fellow barrel-aged beer enthusiasts, and the brewers who brought this year's vintage to life.
