Beer Release: 2026 Family Reserve Sleepy Bear 11am
Barrel Aged Imperial Stout - 14% ABV
The latest chapter in our Family Reserve series showcases the art of barrel selection and blending. For the 2026 release, we carefully chose and blended Sleepy Bear aged from 2 to 4 years in a combination of Buffalo Trace Bourbon and Buffalo Trace Rye whiskey barrels, creating a layered and exceptionally refined barrel-aged experience.
Rich notes of dark chocolate, caramelized sugar, vanilla, and oak intertwine with the subtle spice and depth contributed by the rye barrels. The result is a silky, full-bodied imperial stout with remarkable complexity, balancing decadent sweetness with warming barrel character and a lingering finish.
Crafted for savoring and worthy of the Family Reserve name, this special release represents some of the finest barrels from this year's Sleepy Bear cellar.

Alter will be taking care of you as well with their delicious craft brews and great prizes for the winners all night!
Music Bingo is free to play, but pays out real prizes every single game! Every person that attends gets their own set of bingo cards, so the more friends/family you bring, the higher the chance someone will win at your table!
