(Flossmoor, IL) – A FOBAB award-winner is getting bottled.

Flossmoor Station Barrel-Aged Hi-Fi Rye got label approval for 22 oz. bottles recently. The beer took home a silver medal this past fall at the Festival of Barrel-Aged and Beers.

Label copy: “Aged for ten months in a freshly emptied Bourbon oak barrel, this ‘Barley Wine Ale / Wheat Wine Ale’ uses American hop varieties to enhance its rye character. Three roasts of rye malt, making this beer rich in flavors of dark fruits and figs, finishing with subtle spicy notes and a perceived dryness.” Extra note: 11% ABV and brewed with caraway seeds.

No release date has been announced on the Flossmoor Station blog yet.
