BRAELOCH BREWING

Kennett Square, PA

Winterfest 2022 Selections:
- “Laughing Gas” - 8.0%
This double dry-hopped New England style IPA is stuffed to the gills in the fermentor with an obnoxiously laughable amount of Strata and Cashmere. A pillowy soft mouthfeel gives way to a sweet, candy-like malt base and huge notes of strawberry gummy candy, fruit loops, lemon-lime and vanilla.

- “Indulgence” - 9.2%
Imperial Milk Stout brewed with a plethora of dark specialty grains and smoothed out with a dose of lactose in the kettle. We then conditioned it on a heap of Cacao Nibs from Ethereal Chocolates and a dose of Vanilla. The result is an absolute chocolate bomb that will send you on a journey through chocolate bar heaven and a rich decadent dessert-like experience.
