Once a year we create a special beer that draws from the best of the last 12 months. We call it Cuvee Blend. It’s a nod to the French winemaking tradition, and is a blend of aged beers from select barrels.

This year’s blend is a departure from tradition. We challenged ourselves to explore flavors that at first glance didn’t appear to work well together, but when combined made something exciting. Whether figs, mangoes, or chardonnay — each element is present on its own, but creates an overall push-and-pull of flavors that are wholly unique.
