The Hourglass Brewery of Longwood has completed an expansion and is now ready to move to another milestone: the first bottle release. For this release, the Hourglass crew is introducing Schizandra, a bourbon-barrel cherry-aged quad.

From Hourglass Brewery:

Our first bottle release will be Schizandra- one of our highest rated beers ever. This decadent ale is a Belgian quad aged in bourbon barrels on top of tart cherries. Savory tastes and smells of raisins, rich toffee, plums, and tart cherries are gently blanketed by oak and vanilla with a bourbon backbone. Coming in at 10.5%, this gentle sipper is not one to be taken lightly. With smooth, well-balanced drinkability, it is best advised to take your time and savor the flavor.

Bottles of Schizandra are available for pre-order here.
