We’re coming up on our 4th Anniversary (lol I know, wtf) and we wanted to bring back one of the first beers we ever released. AND SO WE ARE PLEASED AS PUNCH TO BRING YOU…”Most Likely Aliens” Mexican Chocolate Imperial Stout!
👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽👽

Double mashed with boatloads of @riverbendmalt Southern Select and heaps on heaps of Specialty, Roasted, and Caramel Malts from @proximity.malt. Boiled for 12 hours, and then pummelled in the Whirlpool with just so much fresh Poblano Pepper before being fermented with our Pub Ale yeast. We racked a majority of this into barrels, but what was left over was conditioned on dastardly amounts of @frenchbroadchocolate Cacao Nibs, Mexican Vanilla, Cinnamon, and Nutmeg.

Big, thiccccc, and with explosive characteristics similar to Hot Cocoa with a Cinnamon and Nutmeg dusting, Chiles Rellenos drizzled in Mole, fresh-out-the-oven Fudge Brownies with a scoop of ice cream, and a whirlwind of memories from the past 4 years. While there’s a huge wave of Chile flavor and loads of Cinnamon/Nutmeg spice, this is not a “SPICY” beer. Just FYI. It rules.

Thanks so much for sticking with us since we’ve opened up. We’re continuing to work tirelessly to improve the offerings and experiences we bring you, and we are incredibly honored to have come this far this quickly. We hope you enjoy this little trip down memory lane with us as much as we enjoyed bringing it back.

And don’t forget, the general population is unaware that aliens have officially been acknowledged by our government and many official agencies across the world. So be sure to rant about UAPs (or UFOs, or whatever the fuck they’re calling them these days) whenever you share this with anyone. Trust us, they WANT to hear you go on for hours about it…they just don’t know it yet!
Available on draft and in 2pk cans on 12/6. Limited distro on this beast, so don’t be sleepin’!

🎉 Wow, y’all are incredible! 🍻

We can't express enough gratitude for the overwhelming response to our Ancient Teeth Barleywine. You sold us out of bottles faster than ever before, and we're utterly humbled by your enthusiasm. We still have some draft!

To those who secured their Ancient Teeth bottles, cheers to you! Your support means the world.

To those who missed out, we're genuinely sorry! The response was beyond our wildest dreams, and we're working hard to ensure more Barleywine magic comes your way sooner than you think. Keep those eyes peeled for the next release!

Thank you for being part of the DSSOLVR community.

Stay tuned,
XOXO, DSSOLVR

“Ancient Teeth” is a Single-Barrel Bourbon Barrel-Aged Barleywine, made in collaboration with the @southerngristbrewing crew. After 26 months in an 18yr Elijah Craig barrel, we decided it was time to bring this beast into the light. And we hope ya dig it!

A few years back (OMG, was it 5 years ago?!), the wonderful humans of @southerngristbrewing invited us to brew up a few collabs with them before we officially opened our doors. Then they barrel-aged some of those beers, and they turned into “Wooden Teeth”, a Bourbon Barrel Barleywine. We thought it turned out awesome, and they got a few wild accolades for it. IDK, man, those cats kill the game and that’s no surprise. We were just honored to have been there for the brewday to smile and take a few pics and eat Nasheville Hot Chicken that was so hot Vince almost passed out.

WELL, we decided to attempt to pay homage to that beer and brew it on our own system a few years ago, but without any Hot Chicken. AND THUS, “Ancient Teeth” was born! Mashed with a blend of @riverbendmalt and some select English Malts, boiled for an arguably long time, hopped lightly in the kettle and then fermented with our House Pub Ale yeast before being racked into barrels.

After tasting through the barrels, we found the most pronounced one, and decided this needed no adjuncts whatsoever. And so, here we are!

We experience a bright and overwhelming Bourbon character, deep dark notes of Molasses and Brown Bread, a wave of Oak-Vanilla tannins, probably a few Fig Newtons and Tootsie Pops, and a boozy-fruity finish you’d expect from one of our Barleywines.

Available on draft and in bottles! Taproom only, no distro. Limited quantities. Brush your teeth, ya damn heathens..

“Bubby Bite” is a GLUTEN FREE Fruited Sour with Guava, Peach, and…a whole lot of Dairy-free Vanilla Ice Cream. So much Ice Cream. Like, the equivalent of a couple thousand bowls worth. Sheesh. AVAILABLE NOW!

With these GF Fruited Sours, we really lighten up the base and allow the adjuncts/fruit to shine. Not too sweet, not too sour, and yes, it is GF and Lactose Free! OMG WOWOWOW! It is “smoothie style”, too, so plenty of unfermented fruit and creamy sugary goodness, so it is a lil thicccccc.

Pretty much a gigantic Pastelito with a scoop of Ice Cream on top, but in adult alcoholic juice form. That makes sense, and we both know it. A big smack of Guava up front, whispers turning into screams of Peach, the aforementioned scoop of Vanilla Ice Cream on a hot-ass day, and a really cool sweet-sour balance to it all. So good, you won’t even be upset about the creepy lil’ Bubby biting ya right on yer dang ol’ hand, there, bub! Don’t worry, it’s just a bite! A tasty, cute, sweet lil’ bite!

ABSOLUTELY NO LACTOSE IN THIS BAD MAMMA JAMMA! JUST CREAMY GOODNESS!

Available NOW on draft and in cans in both taprooms!!!
