2025 Concealed Darkness Release Party & Barbecue

2025 CONCEALED DARKNESS: DARK HOLLOW RESERVE
THE MYSTERY OF GREAT BEER challenges the spirit of adventure in all who seek a higher level to this ancient brew. Dark Hollow blends the miracle of two crafts—brewing and distillation—to create a work greater than the sum of its parts.

Our once-a-year Reserve edition of this hallowed imperial stout has been aged in barrels from Willett Distillery for a full year, changing and mellowing with the roll of the seasons.

Enjoy the best of 2025: Dark Hollow brewed with double the roast barley, double the chocolate malt, and double the oats, and then concealed in the darkness at the back of the barrel room, waiting to emerge on December 6th.

2025 CONCEALED DARKNESS AND BOTH VARIANTS WILL BE ON TAP ALL DAY INSIDE THE BARREL HOUSE TASTING ROOM (and bottles will be for sale while supplies last!)

We will also be featuring the release of TWO exciting variants brewed from some favorite past recipes:

Variant #1 was aged solely in bourbon barrels from Willett Distillery, with the addition of cacao nibs and strawberry purée. The natural pairing of raw chocolate and ripe and vibrant strawberry flavors plays with the deep malt, oak and natural vanilla flavors from the beer and the barrel.

Variant #2 has the carefully considered addition of toasted coconut and Indian vanilla beans. Enjoy this limited-edition take on the best of 2025: Dark Hollow brewed with double the roast barley, double the chocolate malt and double the oats, then concealed in the darkness at the back of the barrel room, waiting to emerge on December 6th.
