KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge

 11% alcohol. 40 IBU. Introduced in 2020, for Oct. to Dec. availability. Brewed in Michigan by Founders. 

"Michigan didn’t invent old-fashioned fudge, but it was perfected here. We pay tribute to this time-honored tradition with KBS Maple Mackinac Fudge. By amplifying the rich chocolate notes of KBS using Mackinac Fudge coffee, then adding maple syrup and aging it in oak bourbon barrels, we’ve created a bold new take on our barrel-aged classic – one that could only have originated in Michigan."

Oakspire Old Fashioned

 9% alcohol. 27 IBU. Introduced in 2020. Brewed in America by New Belgium. 

"We first began brewing Oakspire in 2018 as a special release around the holidays and it has since become a fan favorite. In 2020, we're shaking things up with a fresh take on the classic American cocktail—the old fashioned. Easily one of the most difficult beers we've ever produced, Oakspire features a custom-built, proprietary infusion method that pulls flavors from bourbon-steeped charred oak and marries them with oranges, cherries and a dash of bitters."
