Barrel Aged Lost Weekend Rye Barleywime
Barrel aged barley wine. Aged in a woodford reserve barrel 11 months.
Started at 90ibus, mellowed out with age.
We collaborated with our good friends at Radicle Effect Brewerks in the quad cities, (Rock Island, IL more specifically) to bring you Quadraläch (pr. kwad-ra-lock)...
Like historical Blue Island, this beer has German beginnings with a traditional Kölsch fermentation, but blends in a selection of malts and hops from all over the world...
5 Bridges has low hop aromas & flavors, accenting the delicate malt character w/ lager-like flavor characteristics.Brewed to be light bodied & slightly dry.
Light, fruity-esters are balanced with touches of malt toastiness and the spicy, earthy notes from the hops. A crisp, dry beer with a subtle and balanced character of malts and yeast aromatics.
With a respectable amount of roast, chocolate, and toffee notes which are balanced with just the right amount of hops to let the malt remain top of the pops.
Our inspiration comes from a foundation in classic styles. From an understanding of what makes each style great, we are able to diverge from the basics in specialty beers that compliment the style, history and flavors in tasty ways. We are so excited to be a part of the Historical District of Blue Island, IL., and the growing craft beer scene along Olde Western Ave. Along with the other establishments in the area, we wish to be a positive member of the local economy, not only conducting our business ethically and responsibility, but also bringing you a darn good beer. We hope through making a range of styles, we will help forward craft beer appreciation, making Blue Island a craft beer destination. In the greater picture, we hope to also facilitate social and economic progress and contribute to the concerted effort by the City of Blue Island to make this an area truly worthy of its rich history.
