This is a tasty Winter Ale to snuggle up to, released for the winter months when snow blankets the terrain of the mind and the body craves warmth and, let’s be honest, it’s dark and wet most of the time so your beer better be damn good. Winter Ale is dark like the weather with roast chocolate and warm malt flavors balanced by noble hop aroma and subtle hoppy spice.

Ingredients: 2-Row Pale, Munich, C-120, Chocolate, Carafa 2, and Roast Barley with Columbus, Willamette, and US Goldings hops

8% ABV | 45 IBU

Released: Late October

Fremont BBOMB 2022 Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Winter Ale

This year’s release of B-Bomb is aged in 8–12-year-old American Oak bourbon barrels and is a blend of 9, 12, and 24-month old barrel-aged Winter Ale.

Each barrel contributes a different note, and combining each barrel to create a coherent tone is a distinct art and true pleasure. Please do enjoy this unique barrel-aged ale today but know that B-Bomb will age gracefully for at least another 5 years.
