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.

New Year, New Website

New year, new… website? Let’s roll with that. We know we’ve been quieter than normal on our social channels lately, and that’s not just because we’ve been working hard on getting our new Lockport location ready to open. We’ve also been tapping away at our keyboards and furiously designing a brand new 2021 EDITION (that sounds nice) online store!
