Description
Our mission has been to produce vibrant, quality and innovative beer with a truly authentic team of humans since 2015. Structures Brewing was founded by James Alexander after spending years working at breweries in Washington, Pennsylvania, and Vermont.
In 2021, forces were joined when Bryan Cardwell partnered with James. Bryan comes from a background of world class brewing experience in Washington and Oregon. Together they have meshed their skills of brewing great hoppy beer and lager beer... while also loving to explore the realms of curiosity in Imperial Stouts, Barleywines and Smoothie Sours.

Cloudy, pale but is there a pinkish note? Bitterness, grapefruit and a touch of lychee. Love that bitterness, off dry finish.

On tap at Structures, pours a deep dark mahogany / dark brown with a tiny beige head. Aroma brings out a wonderful bourbon character, along with dried dark fruits and bready toffee. Flavour is rich and intense, with huge, complex bourbon barrel notes, dark dried fruits, toffee, and brown sugar. Heavy sweet but not cloying and in keeping with the big bourbon notes. Excellent.

On tap at Structures, pours black with a small tan head. Nose is full of hazelnuts, banana and bourbon in good cohesion. Flavour is extremely rich but not brutal, with lots of banana upfront, accentuated by bourbon and a hint of toasted nuts. Very rich but again, not brutal β finishing sweet, bourbony and banana-y. Wonderful.

Draft 12 oz pour at Special Brews. Bright, dense, glowing orange juice haze, tons of sticky head and lacing. Cool and inviting stone fruit aroma. Really grabs your attention. Aromatic brew. Flavor is quite intense, with tons of hop burn, almost acidic her. Citrus and stone fruit with a slow burn bitter constant. Sharp first sip. Keep thinking this will smooth out, but maybe they aim for this beer to be a constant reminder that it's not a light brew. Overall an intriguing imperial. Lots of good things going on, but this one is definitely aggressive.
