Latest Pipeworks Releases and Updates

December 20, 2013 Update

Pipeworks CitraSanta stuffed his sack full of Citra hops and made Christmas come early at Pipeworks. This hop bomb is teeming with juicy aromas and flavors of citrus, tropical fruit, mango, papaya and all sorts of other goodies. As Nick would say, "It's scary crushable." Drink early, drink often. $10.99, 22oz, 9.5% ABV

The MurderousWe took our Murderous English Style Barley Wine and aged it for eight months in Elijah Craig 12 Year Old Barrels. The resulting nectar was a delightfully sweet and sticky beer with deep, rich notes of coconut, vanilla, oak, dates, dark fruit, bourbon, caramel and a hint of rye spiciness. Delicious now but this one is definitely a candidate for hibernation in your temperature controlled resting place. $8.49, 12oz, 11% ABV

The Last Kiss
We brew this Wee Heavy with Fennugreek, for a distinct maple character, and vanilla bean. The we aged it in Buffalo Trace barrels for nine months. The beer that came out of the barres is a beautiful composition of maple, oak, caramel, vanilla, bourbon and perfectly burnt sugar. Wonderful now but also will stand up to a Rip Van Winkle style nap in you temperature controlled area of choice. $8.49, 12oz, 11% ABV

The Jones Dog
The first batch of Imperial Jones Dog we ever brewed found its way into some Heaven Hill and Buffalo Trace barrels for 10 months and we are sure glad it did. The imperial milk stout brewed with cacao nibs and vanilla beans came out of the barrel with wonderful notes of bourbon, oak, barrel char, vanilla, coconut, dark fruits and dark chocolate. Delicious now or good to cellar in a temperature controlled environment. $8.49, 12oz
