FIGJAM is the acronym for F@%k I’m Good, Just Ask Me!

Although clearly not the attitude of our breweries or Head Brewer John Ritenour, we did decide to have a little self-mocking fun this holiday season in creating a new beer to follow up the amazing success of this fall’s Violin Monster.

We knew we wanted to do an Abbey-style Quadruple and we knew we wanted to brew it with figs but we didn’t have a name. When a friend of ours was telling a story about someone whose nickname was FIGJAM and then told them what it stood for, a new star was born.

What says cozy holiday season more than a beer with a very warming 11.5% alcohol content, figgy undertones that are complemented by dark ripe fruit flavors like raisin and dates, hints of fresh baked bread, and a beautiful dry finish that leaves you wanting more.
