Our journey at Sisyphus has been incredible so far. A milestone is here that we knew we would reach when we opened, but we can’t help but be surprised we are already here. A few weeks ago, we brewed our 50th (and 51st) batch. An imperial stout, that clocks in at 10.50% alcohol, fitting for our 50.50th batch. This beer was too high gravity to be brewed in just one batch, so we split it in two.
Full of flaked barley, black malt, roasted barley, chocolate malt and all Chinook hops, this beer has a wonderful roasty aroma, balanced bitterness, and goes down remarkably smooth.
It’s exciting to look towards the future, to batch 100, and beyond, and also reflect on where we have come from since we started this brewing journey.
Batch 50.50 will be available at the taproom this week in 10 oz. pours.
