Stupid Sticky Fingers Release 11am

Join us Saturday, February 21 at 11AM for the release of Barrel Aged Stupid Sticky Fingers and Double Barrel Stupid Sticky Fingers.

2026 Double Barrel Stupid Sticky Fingers
Imperial S'mores Stout – 15.7% ABV
Collaboration with Rocky Reef Brewing Co.

Tasting Notes: Bourbon Ganache – S'more Vibes – Pure Decadence

Welp we did it. We took our annual Stupid Sticky Fingers we brew with our buds at Rocky Reef Brewing Company and doubled down. Literally. We aged it in a double round of delicious Buffalo Trace Mash #1 barrels to give it a huge bourbon pop, rich vanillin and subtle caramel notes. Out of the barrel we rested this delicacy on a bed of roasted Ghana cacao nibs and Madagascar vanilla. We're super impressed with how this turned out and we're sure you will be too.

Available on draft and 375mL bottles to-go starting Saturday 2/21/26 at 11am.

BUT WAIT THERE'S MORE.....

2026 Barrel Aged Stupid Sticky Fingers
Bourbon Barrel Aged S’mores Stout - 13.4% ABV
Collaboration with Rocky Reef Brewing Co.

Tasting Notes: Rich Hot Cocoa - Sticky Icky S’mores - Marshmallow Pillows

Stupid Sticky Fingers is a rich, pillowy imperial stout that we collaboratively brew annually with Rocky Reef Brewing Company from Woodruff, Wisconsin. Together with our pals from Rocky Reef, we roasted boatloads marshmallows over a campfire at the brewery and added them to the kettle. We then let Stupid Sticky Fingers rest in Buffalo Trace bourbon barrels for 12 months. The resulting beer is absolutely delicious with smooth notes of bourbon paired with the rich chocolate and graham crackers. To finish the beer we added more roasted cacao nibs and vanilla. This is definitely a beer to enjoy with friends around a campfire.

Available on draft and 2pk of 16oz cans to-go starting Saturday 2/21/26 at 11am.
