This year’s celebration included an anniversary tapping of the Batch 200 Segundo Double IPA which clocks in at 10.5% alcohol and was brewed with over 10 pounds of hops. Other featured brews included the Rocky Rail Brown Ale which was a collaboration with Railtown Brewing Company and included vanilla and black walnuts as ingredients. Barrel aged released included the “Undead” Risen Imperial Stout and the return of the Beer Hound Brown first brewed with Gravel Bottom in 2014. The event also featured live music from Paul Wojciak and $10 plates of BBQ from Chef Ed of Oink! BBQ Co. with included side of chips, coleslaw, and pit beans.
