Originally, a curious mistake that resulted in an all-new-beer-style we liked to call…Irresponsible. We’ve upgraded this Sweet Release with the addition of Whole Cane Sugar for a delightfully unrefined experience. MOUTHFEELS STYLE Unrefined Shugga’ is our winter-warming, holidaze BarleyWine, clocking in at 10% alc./vol. It’s chockfull of malted barley, malted wheat, Munich malt, and crystal malts, then generously dry-hopped with Simcoe, Columbus, Cascade, and Centennial hops. Unrefined Shugga’ gets its name from the addition of whole cane Panela sugar. It’s basically the holidays in a glass. STICKY CLEAN The raw sugar makes you think this beer would be cloyingly sweet, but the fermentation dries it all out, leaving a super clean finish that makes you want to take another sip. DANK HOP Some classic C hops bring the dank, layering over the molasses flavors, melding into something super unique. MOLASSES The unrefined sugar brings over all the flavor of raw sugar cane, including what goes into making molasses. Slightly smoky, slightly apple, slightly vanilla, slightly spicy, slightly savory. Makes the beer really well rounded.
