Originally born from an inspirational moment in a cocktail bar late one night in Denver following a session of the Great American Beer Festival, Tripel Julep is a Smokestack Series Limited Release beer available exclusively on draft. The base beer, Long Strange Tripel, is aged in freshly emptied whiskey barrels for several weeks before being infused with mint right before packaging. Opening with the fresh, crisp aroma of mint married to fruity, Belgian yeast esters, Tripel Julep gives way to a slight bready sweetness contributed by the malt bill that melds into warming characters of whiskey, vanilla and charred oak.

At 11.5 ABV and 16 IBU, Tripel Julep is being released in the Greater Kansas City Area starting on April 12th. Other cities that normally see our other Smokestack Series Limited Release beers like Rye-on-Rye-on-Rye or Saison-Brett should expect to see Tripel Julep in the coming weeks. Please note that we do not have access to our distributors delivery schedules and will be unable to confirm when Tripel Julep is available on draft near you.
