“AVL.JPG” is an 18 month Bourbon Barrel Aged Salted Maple Coconut Mocha Imperial Stout. And if you think that’s a mouthful, wait til you try the beer!

18 long months ago, we laid down a batch of Imperial Stout in freshly dumped Heaven Hill Bourbon barrels. After that long slumber, we tasted through the barrels and immediately had an overwhelming vision of this beer in its final form.

We conditioned this on a very astronomical bounty of Macaroon Coconut, a tasteful blend of Sea Salts, a whole mess of Maple, and more coffee by volume than we’ve used in any beer before. 10#/bbl of @cooperativecoffeeroasters, to be exact!

We experience beautiful squares of homemade Fudge, Coconut Bon Bons drizzled in Maple syrup, a beautiful kiss of Vanillin from the barrel, the faintest kiss of salinity that serves to elevate the whole palate, and all of that is just absolutely smothered in a warm blanket of Bourbon. Dangerously drinkable for 10.8% ABV, and the perfect treat for this cold weather!

Don’t worry, we’ve got a few more barrel-aged treats before the year is over!

WE HAD TO BRING IT BACK! “Uppercuts and Laser Tag” is one of our most favorite IPA’s, and this batch really brings the house down.

Starting with a base of @riverbendmalt 2-Row, hefty doses of Wheat and Spelt, just a touch of Dextrin malt for body, and then open-hand slapped with Vic Secret in the Whirlpool and again in the first dry-hop. The crew then decided to unleash a flurry of punches in the second dry-hop with more Vic Secret, Mosaic, Enigma, Citra, and then a final dose of Mosic Cryo and Ctra Cryo just because.. It’s like getting into a street fight with a tropical fruit salad in a room full of lasers and smoke: passionfruit, papaya, pineapple, clementine, thick and chewy dab-rips, and an overwhelming sense of excitement.

Our processes will always grow and change, and it becomes most evident that we’ve made progress when we revisit an old recipe. We hope you dig it as much as we do!

SAY HELLO TO THE WINTER HEAT!!!!
We have finally made that next step down the path that is our fermentation journey here at DSSOLVR. “Cannibal Supernova” is a 14.5% ABV Fruited Mead or Melomel to the mead-heads.

We started with a massive amount of Orange Blossom Honey and Buckwheat Honey from the wonderful folks at @walkerhoneyfarm. We fermented that tasty blend of Honey and then conditioned it on Blueberry, Blackberry, and Vanilla Beans for many weeks. We then bottled it still (read: very little to no carbonation), and aged it for a few months to see how it mellowed out and developed. The results are pretty damn dope!

The nose is just a straight Mixed Berries covered in Honey. No surprise there. Then, however, it opens up with a very big, spicy, bite before running into a warming and spicy blend of Blackberry creme, Blueberry Hi-Chew candies, and a swathe of Vanilla Beans. Don’t forget, this baby is 14.5% so, she hot.

“The Hustle is Dead” is our newest West Coast IPA, and we teamed up with the fabulous @widowmakerbrew to make it pop super hard.

Mashed with @riverbendmalt 2-Row, Red Wheat, a touch of Crystal malt, and just a kiss of Dextrin malt. Hit HARD on the hot side with Michigan Centennial, Columbus and Amarillo, fermented low and slow with our Pub Ale yeast and spunded for dat natural carb. Dry hopped only once, but rather aggressively with MORE Michigan Centennial, Simcoe, and a fat dab of Centennial Cryo.

Notes of candied Cara Cara Orange peels, maybe some Grape Hi-Chews, sticky Mango chunks coated in resinous tree sap, the dankness in a parking lot before a Sleep concert, and that first righteous pint of Arrogant Bastard you had from way back when.

We definitely moved the needle in terms of finding a balance between Old School and New School, thanks to the Widowmaker homies. It is clear, it is malty, it is orange, it is bitter, it is dry, and it is dank. Hell yeah. Shred that gnar gnar
S/O to incredibly talented @jade.o.lantern for the super sick artwork. 🦂

Last year, @weatheredsoulsbrewing_sa put together the “Black is Beautiful” project with the intention of uniting breweries across the world to raise and donate money to support BIPOC and marginalized groups in their local areas. With the help of @riverbendmalt and @craftpeak, we were able to raise over $5k for @greenopportunities and make a direct impact on our local community.

When we released that beer, we also threw some of it into Old Fitzgerald Bourbon barrels, where it rested for 16 long months. We then racked it onto heaps of Madagascar Vanilla Beans and freshly roasted cocoa nibs and husks from @frenchbroadchocolate before bottling and kegging it all up.

The result is a true symphony of Barrel-aged beauty, with notes of Bourbon-soaked French Vanilla ice cream, drenched in thicccccc hot fudge, kissed with sticky oak tannins, and wrapped up in a dangerously drinkable 11.5% ABV package.

Proceeds from the sale of this very special Bourbon Barrel Aged Black is Beautiful will go to @differentwrld, a local BIPOC-owned business focused on providing space and tools for amplifying marginalized voices within the arts community. We are so stoked to help DIFFERENT WRLD and we encourage you to as well. Their dedication to pushing the creative scene in Asheville will absolutely leave a lasting impact on our greater community. If you can’t pick up the beer, then please consider donating directly to their crowdfunding campaign.

BEHOLD! “Italian Bootleg” is our newest exploration of the ultra-sexy Italian Pilsner. We had the crew from @oddcolonybrewing up to brew “Imperfect Clones” a couple weeks back, and while they were up, we also whipped up a tasty lil’ Italian Pils for y’all! And that is this!

Mashed solely and singularly with @riverbendmalt Pilsner and hit with our trusted Lager treatment on the hot side. Hopped very aggressively in the Boil with Saaz and then even more in the Whirlpool with Huell Melon, fermented low and slow with our House Lager yeast, spunded for dat 100% natural carbonation, and dry-hopped with Meridian and more Saaz for good measure before being laid down to Lager for many moons in our Horizontal Tanks.

We experience a bowl full of fresh Clementine and Peach skins, a couple fresh baguettes, a nice bunch of wildflowers, and some fresh and floral tea, and of course…Crispi Boi character!

BEN SWOLO! WIELDER OF THE FORCES! DRINKER OF THE LAGERS! CHAMPION OF THE WARS IN THE STARS!

“Forever Endearing” is our latest foray into the ever-loved style of Coconut IPA. We’ve been doing the Coconut IPA thing on and off for a while now, and we felt that we all deserved one last glimpse of Summertime treats. And we thought we’d switch it up a little bit and go for something a bit more “Berry-Coco” instead of “Tropical-Coco” like we usually do. Huzzah!

Mashed with @riverbendmalt 2-Row, Oats, Golden Naked Oats, and Flaked Oats. Hit very hard in the Whirlpool with Citra, fermented with our House IPA yeast, dry-hopped with Belma, spunded for dat natural carbonation, and then dry-hopped AGAIN with Sabro and even more Belma before it was carefully rested on a shitload of Macaroon Coconut.

Crack a can and you’ll be transported to a beautiful island oasis of Mixed Berry Coconut Daiquiris, a lil bit o’ Strawberries and Cream candies, probably some weed-infused Coco Lopez with a Citrus wedge, and a damn good IPA. More balanced and less bitter than our previous Coconut IPA, and definitely a different hop character than we’re used to with these. YEAHHH, BUDDY! COCONUT AND FRUIT AND WEED REFERENCES! Are we cool yet?
