Quantities are limited on the following:

-'Eternal Shredder³' DIPA (8.5% ABV) "The bigger sibling of our house IPA, Master Shredder that we blast with our triple dry-hop treatment. Packed with hoppy goodness of tangerine, grapefruit, bright orange peel."

-'IdontwanttoBU⁴' IPA (6.9% ABV) "The quadruple dry-hopped version of our Mosaic and Citra 0 IBU IPA. Blasted with concentrated hop flavors of mango and honey sweetness."

-'We We Ded Ded' Triple IPA (11.0% ABV) "The DDH version of our 100% Citra hopped Triple IPA. Delicious impressions of smooth apricot, mango, passion fruit, and juicy melon."

-'greenbugatti' TIPA (11.0% ABV) "Luxuriously hopped Simcoe and Galaxy TIPA. Hop notes of piney juiciness, melon, and orchard fruit."

-'whiteferrari' DIPA (8.0% ABV) "whiteferrari is a beer that has been a long time in the making. We've been experimenting with different malt and hop combinations through other recipes, trying to find what we believe is the best of both worlds rolled into one DIPA. Clocking in at 8%, this luxuriously soft DIPA is hopped intensely with 50/50 Citra and Galaxy(and a ton of it!). We used the freshest crop available of each hop to give this DIPA the most expressive hop character possible."

-'Broz Night Out: Enhanced' DIPA (9.0% ABV) "Triple Dry-Hopped DIPA brewed entirely w/ Citra hops and treated with our proprietary enhancing techniques. Soft and saturated w/ hop flavors of passion fruit, fleshy pineapple, gooseberry, lemon, grape."

-'Never Heardofit³: Xtreme' Triple Blueberry Gose (7.0% ABV) "This one is blasted with impressions of liquid blueberry pie filling to the XTREME."

-'Peachee Rings Gummee' Berliner Weiss (6.0% ABV) "Conditioned with a ton of peach purée and piles of marshmallows. Fuzzy peach and creamsicle with a nice confectionary finish."

-'Tefnut: Apricot Passion Fruit' Cosmic Imperial Gose (10.0% ABV) in collaboration with @omnipollo. "Each iteration will feature a different fruit treatment. We put our heads together with @omnipollo to reimagine what a fruit beer can be via new processes and fruit volumes. Thick and frothy notes of apricot/peach skin, juicy white nectarine, dried apricot, and peach rings."

-'Luxurious Luxury Vol. 3' Imperial Sour Ale (9.0% ABV) "Our version of a collaboration beer with @eviltwinNYC that was originally brewed in New York. It’s another overindulged Imperial Berliner Gose brewed with lots of wheat, white truffle salt, and marshmallow, plus loads of blackberry and passion fruit purée. Decadent flavors of fruit pastries and mixed berry desserts."

-'Klean Belgiez' Belgian Quad (8.5% ABV) "Traditional Belgian Quad with Virginia Wild Flower Honey."

-'Numb' Lager (4.4% ABV) "Brewed with Pilsner malt and a decent amount of malted wheat, fermented with one of our favorite lager strains and hopped with 3x different types of German hops. Effervescent, bright, floral, and just an absolute crusher."

-'Larry' Imperial Stout (12.0% ABV) "Conditioned on lots of banana chunks and Vermont maple syrup. Scratch the bananas on the label for the full experience. Dark chocolate covered banana, Dr. Pepper Cherry, and banana bread with caramel on top."

-'Haunter' American Stout (5.0% ABV) "A great crusher pub-style Stout with way more drinkability compared to our Imperial Stout offerings."

-'Energy' IPA (6.0% ABV) "A brand new IPA with a large percentage of raw wheat, Nelson, Idaho 7, and Enigma. An easy drinking IPA with exotic tropical fruit flavors."

-'Swallow The Earth' DIPA (8.0% ABV) "A brand new DIPA with oats and wheat crushed with Nelson, Galaxy, El Dorado, Enigma, and Mosaic Cryo. This one is blasting out of the glass with hoppy notes of ripe papaya, drippy summertime fruit bowls."

-'Try Me' DIPA (8.0% ABV) "Brewed with malted and flaked oats then hopped with Mosaic, Citra, Motueka and a new hop product called Cryo Pop. Awesome notes of vanilla cotton candy and orange swirl candies."

Hazelnut & Vanilla Eternal Slumber (13% ABV) was released in bottles to our STAFF ONLY during our 4th Anniversary Celebration in 2020.

The Veil began announcing their Anniversary Week beers this morning. Head over to their social media to check out the first two. Not surprising, they are a couple BA stouts loaded with adjuncts....

 

Just another way for Veil to hype a beer up or to give people the impression that they are doing something new / innovative. They have given several beers the "enhanced" treatment and it's probably different each time but when they first did it to whiteferrari a few years ago they described it as "we employ some new proprietary brewing techniques to make it softer, extra special, and delicious." Who knows what that means. For a couple stouts they gave the "enhanced" treatment to it was described as blending in a BA Stout with a non-BA Stout or adding more adjuncts than they did to the non-enhanced version.

If you have any questions as you prepare for your visit to VA feel free to ask. There's also a broad Virginia (2022) thread. The beer posts @TurkeysDrinkBeer has been doing above are the daily teases Veil has been posting for the beers they are releasing during their upcoming 6th Anniversary Week from April 26th - May 1st.
