When we acquired a shipment of Four Roses bourbon barrels, our team devised a plan to barrel age our Commander Stephen's Barleywine-Style Ale (named after our hard working brewing assistant. With a base comprised of American and English malts and a blend of Centennial, Chinook and Warrior hops, we knew this barrel aging plan was sure to make history. While the beer and bourbon flavors matured, life threw our beloved Growl Commander Stephen a happy twist. This resulted in a move across state lines and employment with another brewery! The name "Benedict Stephen's" Old Kentucky Barleywine-Style Ales is all in good fun and we wish our favorite "defector" Stephen the very best.
