Starting at 4pm on Thursday (Dec 8), Flingers welcomes the great and mighty Triptych Brewing to the bar for a Tiny Tap Takeover & Glass Giveaway. Here's the lineup, and more details:
Style: Bourbon Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout
ABV: 15.5%
Brewery Description: AJ’s Stout is meant to represent some of the best of what Triptych has, at least when it comes to aging a big stout in a bourbon barrel. And over the years, the base beer has slowly rounded out, getting bigger and bigger, losing some of its roasty and smoky edges to become something that not only absorbs and enhances the underlying distillery’s bourbon character but also evolves into something new and compelling.
This time, we sampled over our entire barrel inventory to find an eclectic mix of barrels that we thought represented some of the best of our stock. The oldest barrel was almost 3 years old, the youngest was just over a year old, but over half were right in the middle at 2 years. The blend includes barrels from a number of our favorite distillers and the final beer was lab tested at 15.5% alcohol by volume by the heroes at Omega Yeast. Expect big notes of char, bourbon rickhouse, seductively deep cocoa and hints of vanillin. Finishing with a pleasant balance of sweet bourbon and dry oak tannin.
Style: Hazy Imperial IPA w/Spruce Tips
ABV: 8.0%
Brewery Description: This double dry hopped, double IPA features Colorado spruce tips plus a generous helping of hops. Pine boughs, orange zest, and an herbaceous, alpine forest nose rise above this hazy yellow beauty. A sweet tropical punch of candied pineapple and peach flows over your palate before you ultimately succumb to sticky pine needles and a touch of bitter resin in the finish.
Style: Hazy Imperial IPA
ABV: 8.0% (estimate)
Brewery Description: Papaya, mango, and stone fruit waft in a cloud above a brilliantly glowing orange cylinder of citrus and vanilla. A hint of dank bitterness follows into the darkness. Gather your forces, brave the journey, and recognize the true ruler of Arnor.
Style: Dry-Hopped Blonde Ale
ABV: 5.1%
Brewery Description: An American Blonde style ale, cold fermented with a new hybrid yeast, and then dry-hopped with some of our new, southern hemisphere favorites. Expect pink grapefruit, white pepper, hints of passionfruit and pine layered above a brilliant, crisp, but malty beauty.
Style: Hazy Pale Ale
ABV: 5.4%
Brewery Description: Originally brewed in 2016 as a love letter to the trendsetters on the east coast, Dank Meme is a lightly golden pale ale brewed with plenty of oats and wheat. This beer is us not caring about aesthetics or clarity, in fact, not a single fining was given to this beer. Hopped like a boss with El Dorado and plenty of Citra in the finish. It is sure to make you say, ‘O RLY? ME GUSTA!’ or not, cause we all know that haters gonna hate… true story.
And while supplies last, when you buy a Triptych draft, you'll get to keep the glass (one per person). Plus, the Triptych crew will be on-site, giving things away and saying hello.
(Triptych keeper glass only available with purchase of Triptych pint draft....except for AJ's Stout. Since that one is high ABV, you can still have a Triptych keeper pint when you order the AJ's in a smaller glass. Keeper glasses are very limited, though, and offer is only valid while supplies last. Strict limit of one keeper glass per person.)
We checked the archives. And despite having their beer on tap all the time, it's been over 5 years since our last dedicated event with Triptych. So...don't miss the party that's been half-a-decade in the making. Thursday night, come get your holiday season officially started with Triptych at Flingers.
