I could tell you, but I won't, because they have a phone number, and you have a phone. Just kidding. From their website: Wee Heavy: Strong Scotch Ale. There’s nothing wee about this Wee Heavy. Copper in color with a biscuit and slightly sweet caramel malt flavor and a velvety mouth feel. 8.4% ABV. Sold as 10oz pours in the tap room and 750ml bottles (from tap room).
10 oz pours of an 8.4% beer? Also, price point of all their other bombers is like 5 bones, right? Why is this one so high? It hasn't been in a barrel has it?
Anything in Minnesota that is sold out if breweries can only be 750ml or growlers. I won't say all because I can't be certain, but at least most keep it in the 750ml format when they hit distro. I assume this is because it is cheaper to order all the same format of containers. I think this hit distro previously. Not sure exactly on the price, but it is a little bigger than a bomber and Size 11 was $11 for the 750ml at the brewery last year.
Wee Heavy release on Thursday Nov. 13th at 3pm. $10/750ml bottle. 6 bottle limit per customer. $5/10oz snifter pour in the tap room. The release is limited to the tap room. We will release Wee Heavy to our retailers in the Twin Cities in a couple weeks. PROST! Steel Toe Crew
Had a glass at the brewery last night. It was good. I'm not a wee heavy expert, but it was a tasty beer. First time at the taproom, smaller than I expected.
First time I have tried it so can't compare to past year's. It was solid, not that heavy/big, nice cocoa notes, subtle fruit and maybe a touch a spice near the finish? Glad I got to try it. As for the bottles, they still have a ton left, so shouldn't be an issue to get your hands on some at the taproom. 6 bottle limit, $10 per bottle.
