DUAL BOTTLE RELEASE: Double Mikerphone Collab
“The one thing I do know is that I’m the best Taylor Hawkins drummer there is, and that is all I can hope to be.” – Taylor Hawkins.
On Friday, January 26, two barrel aged imperial stouts dropped at our St. Charles brewery, each a tribute to the late musician, Taylor Hawkins, and each a collab with our friends at Mikerphone.
Hawkins Reserve, brewed and aged at Riverlands
14.5% ABV Barrel Aged Imperial Stout aged 24 months in 18 Year Elijah Craig Bourbon Barrels.
Nursing the Patience, brewed and aged at Mikerphone
15.67% ABV Barrel Aged Imperial Stout aged 24 months in Buffalo Trace Bourbon Barrels
You may remember our double can collab with Mikerphone a couple of years ago? Well, these two beers feature those same stout bases that were brewed, and then aged, at each brewery. Originally planned for a Fall 2023 release, we tucked them in for a little additional time soaking up the oak and bourbon.
Try both stouts on tap at our St. Charles taproom and take home bottles of each, no limit.
Stop in after work and chow down on the fantastic meats of A.R. BBQ & Kabobs while trying out these two killer collabs.
