Sierra Nevada’s newest ale adventure is seven years in the making. The brand — known for its “Little Thing” line and pale ale offerings — is teaming up with Buffalo Trace for a bourbon barrel-aged ale this autumn.
Colonel E.H. Taylor Bourbon Barrel-Aged Bigfoot includes the brand’s signature Bigfoot Barleywine-style ale, aged for seven years. During the last year of maturation, the ale sits in barrels previously used to age a small batch of E.H. Taylor, Jr. bourbon, according to an emailed press release.
