This filing went on record 13 February 2019, before the beer reached a shelf. Every week's new filings, read and delivered Tuesday morning.
This is the 11th of 52 label filings we hold from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. It is one of 26 quad / belgian strong labels approved in February 2019. It cleared 37 days after it was filed. The label carries barrel-aged on the front.
From the label“This classic Quad in rum barrels is a nod to the great Trappist brewers of Belgium. Deep ruby-brown in color, the beer is rich and full-bodied with the style's familiar dark fruit flavors, while the yeast creates a hint of spice. Rum barrels impart delicate sweetness and complexity to this beer that can be enjoyed today or cellared for years to come. When beer meets barrel, incredible things happen. The passage of time and the influence of wood combine to create a final product much greater than the sum of its individual parts. Our Trip in the Woods series is designed to highlight the complex interplay between beer and barrel. Each beer has matured in a wooden cask originally used to age and mellow spirits, and the time in slumber creates rich and layered flavors unique to this difficult and hands-on process.”
