(Anchorage, AK) – Here’s the latest from Alaska…
Early Jan. – XXX Oak-Aged Black Double IPA
This special version of XXX Black Double IPA was aged in red wine oak barrels from Milbrant Vineyards in Eastern Washington’s Columbia Valley.
XXX was originally brewed to celebrate Specialty Imports’ 30th Anniversary in 2009. We now release it every JAN as part of our seasonal Double IPA line-up, which includes Meltdown, Hop Dog and CoHoHo. But this oak-aged version will show up on taps and shelves whenever The Oak decides “it is time.” Enjoy oak-aged XXX now and cellar some for later. “Straight” XXX will be released in early JAN.
Sometimes XXX just means 30.
