Healthy Spirits: FiftyFifty Eclipse now in stock!
Wednesday, December 14, 2011
A great article about our exclusive Barrel Aged Moylan's beer by Jason Henry!
This week, Healthy Spirits is poised to unveil their own unique project. The chalkboard sign outside the shop reads "we know bourbon, beer, and hummus." Thankfully, the collaborative product they're about to release only involves two of those three things. For nearly two years, Healthy Spirits has been working with various distilleries to release proprietary single barrel liquors.
Right now, their shelves are stocked with Healthy Spirits-only single barrel bourbons from notable brands such as Four Roses, Elijah Craig, and Willet. So once you've selected and bottled your single barrel bourbon, what do you do with the empty barrel? Did you answer "saw it in half and make a rustic planter!"?. WRONG. The correct answer: ask local breweries to brew a beer for you, and fill 'em back up.
Thankfully, the folks at Healthy Spirits chose wisely. This week, welcome the first in a line of bottled, barrel-aged beers made exclusively for the shop. The inaugural release is an imperial stout from Moylan's that spent ten months in Healthy Spirits' Eagle Rare Ten-Year bourbon barrel. Expect a lush mouthfeel and notes of milk chocolate, bourbon, and vanilla. Fans of barrel-aged beers can look forward to two more exclusive beer releases during SF Beer Week. As long as they don't make a bourbon barrel-aged hummus beer, we're on board.
Healthy Spirits Single Barrel Beer Release
Where: Healthy Spirits, 2299 15th Street (at Castro), (415) 255-0610
When: Friday, December 16 at 6pm
Cost: $13.99 per bottle, two bottle limit.
What: The first in a series of barrel-aged beer releases. For the adventurous, the second bottling of Healthy Spirits' Eagle Rare single barrel bourbon is also available for $30.99. Purchase both for side-by-side comparison and likely tastebud explosion.

Healthy Spirits: Exclusive Barrel Aged Beer Release!
Nearly two years ago, Healthy
Spirits selected its first exclusive barrel of bourbon. We were amazed at the
level of quality control and selection we were able to have. The bourbon we hand
selected exceeded our wildest expectations and left us with a freshly emptied
barrel of exceptional quality. The next step was obvious; find a local brewer
and work with them to design a beer worthy of being aged in such a fine barrel.
So we contacted Denise Jones from Moylan’s Brewery in Novato,
and she suggested using the barrel for their excellent Ryan Sullivan’s Imperial
Stout. We are proud to present the first of many upcoming exclusive barrel aged
releases from Healthy Spirits. This beer spent ten months in an Eagle Rare 10
year barrel, and yielded just twenty cases of 22oz bottles.
Each release from our exclusive barrel program will feature California
brewers whose talent and ingenuity make them an important part of the craft
beer community. Each new single barrel bourbon selection will lead to the
production of a new beer, which we hope will allow us to release multiple beers
each year.
The bottle release will take place at the store on December 16, starting at 6:00PM. Denise from Moylan’s will be present to answer questions. Bottle sales will be limited to 2 per customer. Beer of the Month Club members may reserve bottles by phone from the time the event begins. No pre-release reservations will be accepted.
Keep an eye out for future Healthy Spirits exclusive barrel aged releases in the upcoming
months!
Cheers,
