This Imperial Stout was brewed 20 months ago with our fifth anniversary in mind.
Our very first collaboration at Alternate Ending was with our dear friends at Screamin' Hill, the Garden State’s only farm brewery. It felt only right that our fifth-anniversary “Beautiful Friendship” would tie back to our humble beginnings with the very same incredible people.
Together, we brewed a massive 40° Plato stout, by far our biggest to date (until last week ?) and laid it to rest in barrels for nearly two years.
No flavor additions, just malt and barrel telling the story of our journey.
If you’ve ever visited the Bullock Family Farm and met the folks behind Screamin’ Hill, you know exactly why this friendship means so much.
