Sierra Nevada Tequila Barrel Aged Otra Vez

TASTING NOTES

For this limited offering Sierra Nevada pushed beyond the typical barrel- aged beer theory. They got our hands on some Reposado Tequila oak barrels and then aged their new Otra Vez® Gose with Lime and Agave. This Trip in the Woods starts out tart yet juicy, with hints of lime. For the finish? The unmistakable silkiness of a classic Reposado.

BREWERY SNAPSHOT

Sierra Nevada set out with a simple goal: brew the beers they wanted to drink. They started small, with a homebrew shop, a love of American hops and plenty of passion. In the process, they changed the beer world forever. Decades later, they’re still at it, and the passion burns brighter than ever.

DID YOU KNOW?

A new method Sierra Nevada created to add hop aroma to beer, the “Hop Torpedo” is a stainless steel device packed with whole-cone hops. Fermenting beer is circulated out of a fermenter, through the column of whole-cone hops, and back into the fermentation tank. This new method has revolutionized how they dry hop their beers, adding intense hop flavor and aroma with no additional bitterness.
