HAPPY NEW YEAR! Welcome to 2025 and our first episode of the year. We don't want to waste any time and get right to it with two exciting beers. Poppels Grand Cru Strong Ale is a 12.6% ABV strong ale brewed with Swedish brewers Smedsbo Slott. THis strong agle is barrel aged strong ale hits strong but finishes with honey, raisins and a little marzepan. Drake's Santa's Brass: Heaven Hill is an English barleywine clocking in at 14.6% ABV. Filled with bourbon barrel notes and dark fruit, this barleywine really helps kick off the new year!
