Named for the tool used by coopers to drive home the metal hoops that hold a barrel’s wooden staves together, Hoop Driver is the culmination of more than five years of teamwork and patience. It’s crafted from a melange of our favorite beers aged in bourbon, wine & oak barrels blended to perfection with our friends at Cider Corps, AZ Distilling, Pillsbury Wine Company, Cotton & Copper, Brickyard Downtown, and the Joy Bus Diner.

12 ounce bottle into a tulip snifter. Had 8/17/22. Obtained as part of FOBAB 2021 to go. Blend from bourbon, cognac and wine barrels.
Pours a brownish amber, a little cloudy, with a one inch foamy head and light foamy lacing. Aromas of wine, malt, spices, bourbon, some caramel, a little cognac. Flavors of wine, light cognac, malt, apple, spices, some caramel, light bourbon and oak. Slightly tart and sour. Smooth, a decent medium body, appropriately carbonated.
Can pick out the barrels to a greater (wine) and lesser (cognac) degree, but what’s underlying the barrels is pretty disjointed and unremarkable. The bottle cap gave no resistance, so maybe it was degraded a bit.
