Brewers' Notes: When we got our grubby lil' paws on some Summer Reserve* barrels from our friends over at Short Path, our first reaction (other than opening the bung and yelling "it smells so good!" and then making everybody else come smell it) was to fill that sucker up with a buncha spicy ol' ginger farmhouse and then we set about the arduous process of waiting for it to be done and then we set about the less-arduous process of forgetting about it for a little while (it's been a weird year, okay?) but then we dragged that sucker outta the barrel and it's so good and now you can have some with us!
* Summer Reserve - for those of you that don't know - is a gin-based, intensely blueberry-forward liqueur that's just delightful
