25th Anniversary Ale

Celebrating 25 Years of Beers!

Barrel-Aged Belgian Red

OG 16°P / IBU 0 / ABV 7.35

Behold, the 25th Anniversary Ale – a triumph of perseverance, a testament to the enduring spirit of Turtle Mountain Brewing Co. For a quarter of a century, we’ve weathered the storms, embraced the challenges, and savored the victories, and now, we raise our glasses to celebrate this milestone achievement.
Crafted with meticulous care, this ale is more than just a beverage; it’s a tribute to our journey. Inspired by the legendary New Glarus Belgian Red, we’ve embarked on a quest to recreate its magic, infusing our own unique twist along the way.

The heart of this ale lies in its core – a marriage of Red Malt and a generous portion of wheat, a nod to tradition with a hint of innovation. But it’s the fermentation process that truly sets it apart. With a mixed culture of Belgian ale yeast and a lacto strain, we’ve unlocked a symphony of flavors, laying the groundwork for what’s to come.

Enter the American Oak barrels, once home to whiskey’s fiery embrace. Here, amidst the woody depths, our ale finds new life, absorbing the rich nuances of oak while mingling with the pure essence of Montmorency Cherries. With each sip, a journey unfolds – from the subtle tartness that dances on the palate to the warm embrace of American Oak, a reminder of the passage of time and the wisdom it brings.
At 7.36%, this ale commands respect, yet it drinks with a deceptive ease, a tribute to the balance and finesse honed over 25 years of craftsmanship. As it warms in your hand, its true character emerges, a reflection of the steady progress and unwavering dedication that define our journey.

So here’s to 25 years – to the highs and lows, the challenges overcome, and the memories shared. May this 25th Anniversary Ale serve as a beacon of hope and inspiration, a reminder that even the slowest turtle can reach the mountaintop. Cheers to the next 25 years of excellence, innovation, and unforgettable brews.
