2023 Rye Barrel Aged Sleepy Bear Single Barrel Pick with Werk Force

When we were brainstorming our approach for our anniversary single barrel picks late last year, one of the breweries we hoped to work with is Werk Force Brewing, a brewery co-owned and operated by Brandon and Amanda Wright since 2014.
We were thrilled when they invited us to their new Barrel Den to select a barrel of their Sleepy Bear imperial stout for our Lockport location’s 2nd anniversary. Much like our single barrel picks with Revolution Brewing and Mikerphone Brewing this year, this single barrel pick was our favorite of the all the barrel samples we tasted.

So in early December we traveled to Elk Grove Village to visit our friends at Mikerphone Brewing to select our barrel for our 8th anniversary.
