GABF Releases
On sale Oct. 5, 2024, with pickups Oct. 9.
2024 Medianoche
2024 Medianoche is the pinnacle of patience and blending. This year’s release showcases a blend of multiple recipes, including WeldWerks’ traditional Medianoche base, wheated base and high rye recipe. This notable blend was selected exclusively from batches of Medianoche aged for 25-39 months, creating the oldest average age of any Medianoche blend to date. The extensive aging took place in Old Elk Port Cask Finish Bourbon, Law’s Whiskey House Rye Whiskey, Wheated Weller Bourbon, Buzzards Roost Bourbon, Wild Turkey Rare Breed Bourbon, Old Elk Bourbon, Sazerac Rye Whiskey, Blanton’s Bourbon and Stagg Jr Bourbon barrels. The final product explodes with notes of chocolate-dipped orange, salted caramel, vanilla pudding, nutmeg, toasted pecan and rich oak. This beer will be available in limited quantities within WeldWerks’ distribution footprint.
Asesino de Medianoche
Midnight Assassin is not only a collaboration with WeldWerks’ good friends at Toppling Goliath but also an ode to one of their all-time favorite barrel-aged stouts, Toppling Goliath’s legendary Assassin. Brewed in the summer of 2021, this recipe mash-up of Medianoche and Assassin rested in sets of 10-year Templeton Rye Whiskey and 9-year Blanton’s Bourbon barrels. WeldWerks then aged the beer for an additional 45 days on Madagascar bourbon vanilla beans to create an incredibly rich and flavorful stout—one that lives up to the name Assassin.
