Around the brewery, we listen to a lot of reggae, drink a fair share of coffee, and are devoted to our barrel aging program. In 2015, we had a one off Imperial Stout aging in barrels for close to a year. These barrels had a rich chocolate and vanilla character, but needed a boost. Stauf’s Coffee Roasters, of Columbus, Ohio, nailed the perfect roast on some authentic Jamaican Blue Mountain coffee to compliment this barrel aged Stout. Champion Ground was born! The Illustration on the label is of Charlie Ace’s Swing-a-ling mobile record shack which was notorious for broadcasting the “Champion Sound!” Our version does this with fresh grounds and good vibes all around!
