About this beer
This is the 2nd of 2 labels we have from The Lost Abbey. It is one of 11 barleywine / strong ale labels approved in December 2019. Its label was approved 26 days after it was submitted. The label carries barrel-aged on the front.
From the label“Righteous. A word we don't hear as much as we should. Is that because we hold that term to such a high regard that it's almost impossible to reach that rank of humanity? Or are there far too little instances that evoke its use in our modern society? From the good book, there seemed to be many more icons of righteousness, so we chose one in particular to highlight. The Righteous Son, tasked with righting the ship as his two older siblings fought in the fields. The youngest took on the role of the responsible one until the ripe age of 912. We brewed this Old Ale in his remembrance and we hope this malty concoction sees you through years of righteousness.”
