The Melvin and Toppling Goliath crews met two years back and bonded over a mutual love of bold IPAs and massive stouts. TG are the assassins of the barrel-aged stout game, so it seemed fitting for them to join our brewing ninjas in Alpine and create this powerful Russian Imperial Stout. The recipe and brew day was a true collaboration of ideas and processes, and the end result was a 12% ABV, autocratic RIS. As Clark from TG put it, “both teams agreed twelve months was the minimum sentence for barrel incarceration of the liquid,” and after the beer had served its time in bourbon barrels, we added toasted cacao nibs and vanilla to reward its good behavior. Available in 16 ounce single cans, Vladimir Gluten is a real Cold War-mer, darker than the Deep State but delightfully delicious. Nostrovia! (Limit 4 16oz per customer) 🍻
