Brewmaster Series #2 – Toppling Goliath Barrel Aged Brandy In Assassin Barrel Aged Stout

Toopling Goliath

Our Brewmaster series rolls on with the next incarnation of the Toppling Goliath collaboration, this time featuring the Central Standard North Wisconsin Brandy aged in Toppling Goliath’s Assassin Barrel Aged Stout barrels.

Batch #1 was created by aging our already-delicious North Wisconsin Brandy an additional month in barrels previously used to create Toppling Waters stout.

Central Standard’s Toppling Goliath Barrel-Aged Brandy will be available in a limited supply at retailers in Wisconsin and Iowa. The first Brewmaster Series batches sold out faster than expected forcing the Central Standard team to pay visit to the Toppling Goliath brewery to pickup more and get it bottled for public consumption.

About the Brewmaster Series:

We live in the Brewers’ hometown, so we thought from a business perspective it was only natural to embrace Milwaukee’s great brewing heritage and launch a series of collaborations with brewmasters from across the Midwest.

Central Standard’s Toppling Goliath featured in Forbe’s “Holiday Gift Guide 2021: The Best American Brandies To Celebrate The Holidays”

We’re always humbled to be included in “best of” lists but for our limited edition Toppling Goliath Brandy to be featured in a the Forbes “Holiday Gift Guide 2021: The Best American Brandies To Celebrate The Holidays” list was a whole new level of appreciation. The list included eight excellent picks of American Brandy’s which you think you should definitely checkout, after your bottle of Toppling Goliath Brandy.

ABOUT TOPPLING GOLIATH

Launched as part of our Brewmasters Series, this brandy is aged in barrels that previously held Toppling Goliath stout, from the famed Iowa brewing company, and before housing beer, the barrels were filled with maple syrup. This flavor combination imparts a subtle espresso aroma with hints of chocolate, caramel and just the slightest maple syrup finish. This Milwaukee-based distillery also makes a delicious North WI brandy, which is aged for at least two years in oak barrels before getting finished in bourbon barrels.

High Demand Means A Trip To The Source

When we launched our first Brewmaster’s Series with Toppling Goliath creating the Toppling Goliath Barrel-Aged North Wisconsin Brandy earlier this month we had no clue how popular it would be! To make sure we had plenty of supply on hand for our loyal lovers of this limited release Brandy we headed to the source to go grab some more (and maybe a few TG pints!).

Make sure to grab a bottle while supplies last at our Crafthouse & Kitchen tasting room, Costco and select Milwaukee locations.

Brewmaster Series Launches!

Brewmasters Series - Toppling Goliath

We live in the Brewers’ hometown, so we thought from a business perspective it was only natural to embrace Milwaukee’s great brewing heritage and launch a series of collaborations with brewmasters from across the Midwest. This week we officially launched our Brewmaster series in partnership with Toppling Goliath.

Series #1: Toppling Goliath Barrel Aged Brandy:
To really bring the flavor of the Midwest to life, we aged our already-delicious North Wisconsin Brandy an additional month in barrels previously used to create Toppling Waters stout.

Before housing beer, the barrels were home to maple syrup. That flavor combination imparts a subtle espresso aroma with hints of chocolate, caramel and a faint sweet, maple syrup finish.

Central Standard’s Toppling Goliath Barrel-Aged Brandy will be available in a limited supply at retailers in Wisconsin and Iowa starting in October.

UPDATE – You can now purchase Toppling Goliath Barrel-Aged Brandy in Wisconsin Costco’s.
