    Tranquil is the name of our new non-adjunct BA stout. Normally, we brew a stout and throw some into barrels and release the rest fresh. With our new Tranquil series, we constructed the stout specifically for barrel aging without having to worry about how it tastes in the short term. It'll also be what we do when we get some truly special barrels such as the Pappy barrels we recently filled.

    Where did you hear about this Riverlands beer?

    is it an upcoming bottle release?

    Or a FOBAB beer?

    Looks like I'll be camping out in front of Riverlands HQ the morning of Black Friday instead of Binny's

    Let’s hope they’ll keep the online preorders intact. Not everyone can do lines.

    And lines are awful.

    Yup, see you there... not missing this release! Two barrel aged beers on Black Friday is amazing. Riverlands take my money!

    1) Tranquil Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout
    Dark as midnight and rich as all get-out, Tranquil is our new, non-adjuncted barrel-aged stout. With this beer, we wanted to let the barrels really shine without any additional sweetness from adjuncts. A blend of imperial stout aged for 22 months in Buffalo Trace and 16 months in Heaven Hill bourbon barrels, this stout is everything we’ve dreamed of brewing since long before Riverlands opened. 22oz bottles, 14.5% ABV, $25 per bottle, limit two per person.

    2) Barrel-Aged Gravity Void Imperial Stout
    Perhaps you recall our original Gravity Void imperial stout? We took our rich imperial stout base and added hazelnut, cocoa nibs, and cinnamon to create a truly delicious pastry stout. Aged in a blend of 22 month Buffalo Trace and 16 month Heaven Hill bourbon barrels, the result is a boozy concoction of lush waves of chocolate with wonderful notes of hazelnut and cinnamon. 22oz bottles, 14.5% ABV, $25 per bottle, limit two per person.

    Sales live ~12PM CST on Monday

    While the rest of the world cries in their empty Binny's BCBS Reserve box, I can sleep easy knowing I have procured 4x Riverlands BA stouts without much effort at all.

    Yeah was equally impressed with Tranquil and BA Gravity Void. Good crowd but also chill. Plus Chuck’s Pizza is on. Nice way to spend a Black Friday

    Both are top notch! I’m a sucker for hazelnut so heavily biased, but definitely worth your time

    Tried both on tap and really enjoyed them but Tranquil was a standout. Glad I got two bottles. If you like hazelnut then you'll love Gravity Void.
