The month of July brings us sour barrel aged beer insanity. We're bringing out lots of treats from our special collection all month long including Tart of Darkness, Rueuze, bottles from our Vitis series and many more favorites that you will hardly ever see out there!
We're thrilled to announce that Tart of Darkness will be going out for nationwide distribution starting this month, so keep an eye out for it at your favorite local spot that has Bruery beers. But even bigger than that is the return of Bottleworks XII!
Our collaboration with the Bottleworks beer store in Seattle was one of the most popular beers we've ever made. We agreed with the masses that it was delicious so the decision to make it again came eeeeeeeasily! This strong wit beer was soured while aging in oak barrels before we added raspberries to the beer for an added, tannic, fruity, most-excellent flavor. Bottleworks XII will be available for Reserve Society only to purchase starting 7/15, so keep an eye out for that email!
And now, onto our upcoming events for the month of July:
July 1: Our website Stress Test sale! Help us load the site with traffic so we can make sure we're prepared for Black Tuesday later this year. We have a big selection of special beers we're putting up for sale online to the public at The Bruery Store from 6-7PM tonight only.
Among other favorites, Otiose, our sour brown aged in oak with guava added, will be back out of the archives for this sale! You can view the full beer list on our Stress Test Facebook event page.

And speaking of barrel aged goodness, we've also been busy doing some fun stuff internally here at The Bruery. A couple of our employees came together to make a special employee-only batch of barrel aged hot sauce. Can't wait to see how this turns out after all the fun we had watching Victor burn his tastebuds off and Tyler gag on ghost pepper fumes. But more on that later ...
We'll be announcing the month of August's theme at the end of this week and posting our events for that theme on the Tasting Room's Facebook events page. If you'd like to be in the know about all happenings at The Tasting Room, you can sign up for our Tasting Room newsletter here, follow us on The Bruery Tasting Room's Facebook page, Twitter, and Instagram.
