WeldWerks Brewing Company, Full Frame Beer, and Our Mutual Friend Brewing
Beer name: Noche, Mi Amigo
Beer style: Barrel Aged Imperial Pastry Stout
Beer story: Born from a shared love of innovation and pushing the boundaries of beer, Noche, Mi Amigo is an Imperial Stout aged in a blend of Weller, Stagg Jr., Old Fitzgerald and Willett bourbon barrels, then finished on toasted coconut flakes, unsweetened raw coconut chips, toasted hazelnuts, black sesame, caramel and sea salt.

Beer name: Liquid Thanksgiving – Get Basted
Beer style: Veggie Casserole Pale Ale
Beer story: The brewers at Mountain Merman and Grossen Bart finally brought a long-simmering idea to life with the new beer Veggie Casserole Pale Ale made for Collab Fest. What started as a running joke and late-night brew deck brainstorming slowly turned into a serious (but still playful) collaboration. An idea that’s been brewing for years has finally found its way from conversation to kettle. Liquid Thanksgiving is the deliciously unexpected result of creativity, friendship, and a shared love for pushing boundaries.
