RBG is a special old ale that spent 19 months in small format Red Ryder barrels from our friends at Rock Filter Distillery. We then blended some of those barrels into a Bulleit rye barrel for another 14 months. The result of this English themed rye old ale is layers of gentle baking spices, warm caramel, medjool dates, fresh oak, and cinnamon sugar swirled raisin bread. "Real change, enduring change, happens one step at a time" -RBG

On tap at MBCC 2023, pours a deep dark brown with no head. Aroma brings out deep dark sugars, spicy rye barrels and caramel. Flavour is intensely rich, with dark sugars, rye barrels, bourbon, and roast. Sugary, barrel-dominant and earthy. Excellent.
