It’s fall & that means it’s time for our yearly pumpkin pie inspire wheat wine... Pie Thief is back! We build this beer as a wheat heavy 9.5% abv imperial beer of sorts. Crossing into realms of barleywine, but with the crusty pie-like body thanks to a layering of wheat. Pils malt, malted wheat, caramel & honey malts, @grainrandd Red Fife wheat. Boiled extensively with some complimentary dark sugar additions, fermented nice and slow at cooler temps, and then conditioned on a house Pie Thief blend of Madagascar vanilla, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, and clove. A nice rich full body. Warming fall vibes. The sweetness blends with the spice blend just right. Just a big comfortable beer that deserves to be shared with loved ones.

12oz can pours with a murky mahogany colored body that supports a thin tan head of foam. The aroma offers up cola and some winter spices. The taste delivers smooth richness that fills in the brighter winter spices with slick sweet malts and malt sweetness nuanced roasted malts. It picks up a cola to nutmeg sensation to midway and into the finish. Pretty nice version this year.
