Product details

Bourbon barrel-aged beers have been a hugely popular style ever since American craft brewers first started exploring this deliciously innovative technique in the 1990s. And the results of those experiments have only become more sought-after over the past decades.

We've packed the best elements of the style, along with the finest ingredients, into a foolproof recipe kit that brings the best of the craft breweries to you. By starting with a stronger-than-average robust porter, then infusing it with bourbon-soaked oak (we recommend Maker's Mark), the end result is quite possibly the best beer ever. You'll have to supply your own bourbon, so be sure to save a little to sip on brew day to really capture the spirit. The intense aroma and flavor of toasted American oak and the sweet graininess of good bourbon meld with the bittersweet roastiness of porter to make for a very characterful beer.

Due to the high starting gravity of this kit, we recommend pitching multiple packs of yeast or preparing a yeast starter for best results.

Outstanding Beer

I have made this beer a number of times. It was one of six I brewed for my daughter’s wedding and it was the first one gone. I and my family are IPA fans but this is probably our overall favorite. The day I brew it I put the oak cubes into the bourbon to start adding flavor. When I rack it to the secondary I add the bourbon and oak cubes and let it sit for two months before I keg it. It is unbelievably smooth.
Y’all hit it out of the park with this kit!

Haven't had a chance to brew yet but was disappointed that there was no yeast with kit...will have to go to a local shop and find some as I'm afraid I'd get hit with another $20 shipping charge.
