Perennial!




We traded Perennial 5 barrels for a couple of bottles of beer!


Perennial River Raptor - Imperial Stout aged in Buffalo Trace Barrels with Marshmallows, cacao nibs and vanilla beans (not for sale, only available at the brewery)

Perennial 10th Anniversary Blend - Bourbon Barrel Aged Stout in collaboration with Side Project
(not for sale, only available at the brewery)



We sent them five barrels that we will see some beer in a few years.
  • George Remus High Rye Bourbon
  • George Remus Low Rye Bourbon
  • Jefferson Bourbon
  • Oak and Eden Wheated Bourbon
  • Rossville Union

Oak & Eden / TWCP Wheat & Spire Wheated Bourbon

Our barrel we chose French Oak and Heavy Toast for the Spire




Oak & Eden / TWCP Wheat & Spire Wheated Bourbon...$49.99
  • Wheated Bourbon
  • Wood: French Oak
  • Fire: Heavy Toast on the Spire
  • Proof: 116
  • 120 bottles

In a traditional bourbon, you’ll find a mash bill of corn, rye, and malted barley. Swap the rye with wheat, and a whole new world of flavors open up. With all the sweetness and creaminess traditionally found in bourbon, but with virtually no bite on the finish, Wheat & Spire is among the most pleasant and drinkable whiskeys in the Oak & Eden family. We then bring this whiskey to life with a fired French Oak spire, introducing new, silky botanicals coming naturally from the French Oak.


Now that our masterpiece is bottled, the work of finishing begins. Unlike traditional finished whiskey, we do not rest our whiskey in a secondary cask, but finish our whiskey in-bottle. We do this by placing a 5” long spiral-cut piece of wood, cut from the same species of wood as the finishing barrel into our bottle. In the Wheat & Spire, we cut a Spire from French Oak, porous and rich, containing nearly twice the amount of natural botanicals as American Oak, creating a rich, fruity, silky finish.

FIRE -- Heavy + TOAST

Before we place the spire of wood into the Wheat & Spire, we expose it to fire, toasting the wood to the perfect degree that will produce a finish that is deep and rich with subtle notes of fruit and vanilla.

Motorhead Ace of Spades Straight Bourbon Whiskey...$44.99
Aged 4 years


Mash Bill:
  • 60% Corn
  • 36% Rye
  • 4% Barley

A raucous Rock n' Roll blend of straight Bourbon Whiskey boasting a high rye content and bursting with complex flavors. Produced using award-winning small batch distilling methods in North Dakota. Celebrating the loudest rock n' roll band to ever grace our ears.

"Aged four years in charred oak barrels, the bourbon is a blend of 60% corn, 36% rye and 4% barley. With notes of vanilla on the nose, this bourbon has a balanced combination of spicy and sweet flavors with cinnamon, rye, black pepper and mint. Full-bodied and complex it tastes of oak, caramelized brown sugar, tobacco and cocoa with a strong cinnamon finish.
Band members Mikkey Dee and Phil Campbell have contributed to the development of the bourbon’s flavor profile with frequent tastings throughout the process. Named for their hit album, Ace of Spades, the bottle features artwork from the album cover along with signatures from band members Lemmy Kilmister, Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee." - Bevnet

Town Branch Limited Releases

Very limited releases



Town Branch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Sherry Cask...$59.99
96.4 proof
Sherry Cask Finished expression
"The Town Branch Sherry Cask Finished Kentucky Straight Bourbon has even more limited availability, with only 500 cases available to purchase. The blend is made from Bourbon drawn from 26 oloroso Sherry casks, combined with several single-barrel Bourbons that are individually finished in oloroso Sherry barrels.

Most whiskeys in the blend are approximately six years old. The resulting liquid boasts ‘pronounced complexity and an exceptionally smooth finish’.

Master distiller of Town Branch Distillery Mark Coffman said: “This whiskey is truly handcrafted. There is no automation in the distillation process, and I decide where to make the cuts." - The Spirit Business



Town Branch Straight Bourbon True Cask....$38.99
108.1 proof
"The Town Branch True Cask Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a 50/50 blend of two distinct mash bills – a higher-malt mash and Kentucky Bourbon mash. Only 1,800 cases of the expression have been produced.
“We want to show a Bourbon that was true to the cask, because the true beauty of the barrels is usually only tasted by the blenders and distillers,” said Alan Kennedy, head blender of Town Branch Distillery.
“We are bringing that experience home and giving everyone a look inside the cask in a way that very few distilleries can. Blending is vital to the development of each batch’s flavour profile, and each barrel used for True Cask is hand selected for its unique characteristics.
“My favourite aspect of True Cask is the development of flavours that we are able to highlight through thoughtful and meticulous blending.”
The True Cask is non-chill filtered, with notes of caramel and sweet corn leading to dried fruits on the nose. The palate contains flavours of toasted cinnamon with apricot and hints of leather, and the finish leads to hints of oak and baking spices." - The Spirit Business


Perennial Fantastic Voyage Stout







Perennial Fantastic Voyage....$10.99 / 2 pk 16oz
The other major update is the beer itself, Fantastic Voyage will now feature the same base stout as Abraxas and Sump. This means it will have the wonderful, rich body and 11.5% ABV you are familiar with from all of our stouts! The rebirth of Fantastic Voyage is a return to slow jams and silk sheets. We combine a smooth yet strong imperial milk stout base with a heap of dried coconut in the whirlpool. The result is a luscious blend of bakers chocolate, subtle roast, and sweet coconut. So take a sip and just sail on. Perennial Artisan Ales is a small batch craft brewery dedicated to producing unique, premium beers. Our beers are brewed with the experimental, seasoned craft beer drinker in mind.
