Anderson Valley and Wild Turkey will continue to work together
in the coming months on a variety of exciting promotional
opportunities to engage fans and introduce them to the quality and
authenticity of Bourbon barrel
aged products. Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout draft and bottle product
will be available in 22 oz. bottles in several states
including: California,
New York, Oregon, Washington, Texas, Massachusetts, Colorado, Kentucky, Ohio, Florida, Virginia, Georgia, Pennsylvania, North
Carolina and New Jersey
amongst others by the end of June.
This once draft-only product was released in the fall 2012 as
part of an exclusive partnership between Anderson Valley Brewing
Company and Wild Turkey® Bourbon. As part of the partnership, Anderson
Valley Brewing Company has been using repurposed American oak
barrels from the famed bourbon brand's Wild Turkey Distillery in
Lawrenceburg, Kentucky, to age the
award-winning Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout.
"The bourbon stout has been popular since its debut and is the
result of a great partnership," said Jimmy
Russell, Wild Turkey Master Distiller. "Anderson
Valley Brewing takes pride and care in crafting their beer; it's
similar to the approach we take with our bourbon. Together we
produced a great craft beer and are excited to get it in the hands
of more folks!"
"The partnership with the Bourbon Hall of Fame Russell family
and Wild Turkey has been tremendously exciting," said Trey White, Anderson Valley owner and CEO.
"Collaboration on this bourbon stout is just the beginning. We look
forward to continuing our relationship with the Russell's and
exploring new frontiers in barrel aged craft beer."
Anderson Valley's Barney Flats Oatmeal Stout is aged to
perfection for three months. The resulting beer is deep ebony in
hue with a beautiful mahogany head, an aroma of fresh-baked bread,
toffee, and espresso mingling with the woody vanilla notes of
Bourbon whiskey and the rich
roasted flavors wrapped with Bourbon.
