Fortside - Fashionably Late

Fashionably Late - Old Fashioned inspired barrel aged Vienna lagger

Reimagining what beer can be when taking your time and willing to go outside of the norm. Something that would be viewed as a waste in more Budweiser/Coors typical places, is a welcomed treasure here.

With the encouraged angostura bitters and twist of an orange peel, it is a love letter to what can be when rethinking why an old fashion and a beer can’t be distant cousins. With the beer being left in bourbon barrels and aging for two months, it picks up some unusual notes that you would not expect, while keeping the ABV (5.5%) lower than other barrel aged beers and keeping the light crisp lagger appeal, this is one that you can enjoy around the barbecue while not worrying as much about how much you had.

Being here for my first time, hearing that they do barrel aged experimental beers regularly, makes me excited to have something other than the much higher barrel aged beer that is meant to knock people off of their feet.
