We’re proud to share our newest collaboration with our friends at @barriquebrewing in Nashville, Tennessee—Cumberland, a Smoked American Lager that celebrates a shared love of beers that are thoughtful, drinkable, and just a little different. Named for the river that winds behind Barrique’s brewery, Cumberland draws inspiration from both the landscape and the craftsmanship that connect our two breweries.

Brewed with Bloody Butcher Corn from @sugarcreekmaltco—comprising nearly a quarter of the grist—this lager pours a deep golden hue reminiscent of North Country foliage in early autumn. Smoked malts from @blueoxmalthouse lend a soft, smoldering campfire aroma. On the palate, the smoke gently recedes, revealing notes of sweet, earthy corn and a clean, balanced finish that invites another sip.

Cumberland is a beer made for crisp fall afternoons and long conversations by the fire—an expression of friendship, place, and process.

Illegibly-dated can drunk 11/13/25, as pictured.
Soft smoke with gentle caramel and lots of biscuit and bread. Some pepper and minor red fruit. Subtle, easygoing stuff. But clean as hell, seemingly dry and with light mineral on the finish.
Gently smokey with dried twigs and burnt bark. No bacon and salt here. Soft caramel and light vanilla with moderate breadiness and light pepper. There's a slight powdered sugar character (that's about the best I can describe it; associated with the corn) that kind of breaks up the crispness that I want here. Keeps it rather soft and sugary. And it's a simple, table-like sugar, not a good maltiness. Kind of a miss? Though far from a tragedy. The start of the beer is crisp, peppery and smokey.

Can at home. Post run club. Deep gold and foamy head. Not prettiest hue. Nose is light smoke and solid malt crackery. Tastes of beach smoke, malt, water crackers, some soft fruits. Thinner bodied
