Sour & Stout: New Advanced Oak Releases
Slow SIP’ing sessions this summer in your backyard just became more tasty and satisfying. Our latest small batch releases from Drake’s Advanced Oak program are landing this week. We have three sour blonde ales aged on fruit, and a barrel-aged imperial stout for cool evenings. All of these beers will be available this week at Drake’s Barrel House in San Leandro, and then make their way to the Dealership and BARN. Check out the online menus at each location for inventory updates.
