Rockyard Brewing Company’s First Ever Small Batch Release Party

Rockyard is excited to invite you to their first ever small batch release party. Join them next Saturday, May 16th, from 12pm to 4pm at our “Big House” brewing facility to get your hands on our Bourbon Barrel Aged We’ Heavy Ale. They decided to age 2 bourbon barrels full of the We’ Heavy that resulted from a brew with our friends Pagosa Brewing Company for the 2014 Collaboration Festival. After 14 months in barrels they bottled this malty beast and because there are only about 300 bottles, this may be your only chance to get one. In addition to getting your hands on an incredible beer that may never hit shelves, you also have the chance to come say hello to the Rockyard team and check out their “Big House Brewery”!

Where:

3130 Commerce Court
Castle Rock, CO 80109

When:

12-4pm
