Ninkasi ‘Ground Control’ 2017 Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout – 650ml Bottle
ELSEWHERE PAY UP TO $39.99/ Bottle – 650ml Bottle
Eight years after we started brewing in Oregon, we decided the sky was not the limit. One year, two rockets and countless lab hours later, we successfully launched a payload of brewer’s yeast into outer space with the help of rocket scientists. After a much waited return to Earth, the mission of creating space beer is now complete.
Ground Control boldly combines local and out-of-this-world ingredients. This rich, complex Imperial Stout is brewed with Oregon hazelnuts, star anise and cocoa nibs, and fermented with an Ale yeast that survived a trip to space and back.
This third-edition release is a blend of fresh Ground Control and Ground Control aged in Woodford Reserve Bourbon Barrels, offering a beer that is ready to enjoy now or suitable to cellar for later.
