Friday is a very special treat. Our amazing friends at Nebraska Brewing Company have blessed us with a keg of their barrel aged version of 'Hop God'. For the past year this beer has been intensely sought after from coast to coast, and absolutely deserves the the accolades it has received. It takes on an entirely different character from it's regular (and also delicious) draft version due to it's lengthy conditioning time in barrels. As this has only been available in 750ml bottles, we could not be more excited that they filled us up a whole (5 gallon) keg!
From the brewers website "Chardonnay Barrel aged version. 750ml bottle only. Contained within this bottle is an artful creation which began with our Hop God Belgian-Style IPA, then enhanced by a 6 month maturation in French Oak Chardonnay Barrels. This version of Hop God is a fascinating, big, bold Belgian-style Tripel hopped in very high amounts to concentrate citrus, grapefruit and floral aromatics in the nose. The addition of Chardonnay barrel aging adds further dimension and oak tannins to an already wonderfully complex Ale - bringing to mind tropical fruits and peach. We know of nothing that compares - enjoy!"

Do hope you all enjoy this! Wish I could be there for the tapping but alas, we're heading to Vail for the Big Beers Festival!
