Cuvee Day 2018

01.15.18 We'll be celebrating all things Cuvee de Tomme this January 27th! Pouring verticals of one of our favorite barrel-aged blends at our Tasting Rooms and around the country.Cuvee de Tomme is a massive brown ale base made from four fermentable sugars: Malted Barley, Candi Sugar, Raisins, and Sour Cherries. This beer is fully fermented before being placed in bourbon barrel to age for one year with the sour cherries and the Brettanomyces yeast that we inoculate the barrels with.Each location will have a few select vintages to share. Years will vary by location, but will be anywhere from 2012 to 2017.LOCATIONSSan Marcos Tasting RoomThe Confessional Tasting RoomSan Francisco – ToronadoLos Angeles – Mohawk Bend, Kings Row GastropubOrange County – Native Son AlehouseSeattle – The Beer AuthorityPhiladelphia  – Monk's CafeBoston – Row 34, Meadhall
