Black Friday beers at Lakefront Brewery

MILWAUKEE - Raise a glass to some good Black Friday beers at Lakefront Brewery.

2023 marks the 12th year for the barrel-aged, gold standard, limited beer release of Lakefront’s Black Friday selection. Lakefront Brewery will open its doors at 8am to fans who desire all four 2023 Black Friday brews:

• 2023 Black Friday™ Imperial Stout – Aged in Bourbon and brandy barrels, the 2023 version of the famous brew combines massive caramel and roasted malts with huge vanilla and oak flavors. There are fewer than 3,000 19.2 oz cans being sold for $20 + tax each.  
• 2023 Black Friday™ Triple Black IPA – Big, bold, and hoppy, this Triple Black IPA hits the glass obsidian black with a foamy tan head kicking up aromas of chocolate, orange zest, and rose water. Gratuitous Cascade, Chinook, and Centennial hops yield up-front citrus and tropical fruit notes, while malts lend balance and sweet cocoa and caramel flavors. There are fewer than 1,000, 19.2 oz cans being sold for $20 + tax each.  
• 2023 Black Friday™ Double Barrel-Aged Christmas Cookie Barleywine – Back by popular demand, this big, chewy Barleywine is brewed with honey, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon that forms the base of this delicious treat. It was first aged in rum barrels for a year, before it was transferred to Bourbon barrels for another year. The double barrel-aging imparts layered flavors of oak plank, toasted almond, and molasses. There are fewer than 1,000, 19.2 oz cans being sold for $30 + tax each. 
• 2023 Black Friday™ 5-Year-Old – This big stout has been asleep in Bourbon barrels since 2018. The big, ‘roasty,’ chocolaty Imperial Stout left all traces of alcohol heat behind in the barrel and picked up flavors of vanilla, pecan praline, marzipan, and a touch of pipe tobacco. There are fewer than 1,000, 19.2 oz cans being sold for $30 + tax each.
