Stranahan’s Well Built E.S.B.

Breckenridge Brewery and Stranahan’s whiskey are gearing up to release the second batch of Well Built ESB. The extra special brew is a team effort between neighbors and Colorado’s own, Stanahan’s Whiskey Distillery and Breckenridge Brewery. The breweries ESB, which is made with 100 % English malt imported from the UK, is aged for three months in Stranhan Whiskey barrels. The result is a brew with roasted flavors of oak and whiskey with hints of caramel, cherry and fruit. It’s then topped off in 750 ml cork and cage bottles and sells for around $15.99 a bottle in Colorado liquor stores.     Breckendridge Brewmaster, Todd Usry, says this could be the first commercial collaboration between a brewery and a distiller in the U.S. “We’ve achieved balance,” says Todd Usry. “The release of the Well Built is a tribute to our friendship.” The small and limited batch is released quarterly. 200 cases of beer were sold for the first release but that’s already amping up. By 2013- 1,250 cases of Well Built are expected. The general manager of Stranahan’s, Peter Macca says “We are proud to have our name associated with such a great product, and work with out neighbors here in Denver.”
