Stateside Debut.

We just wanted to thank everyone that came out over the weekend to Max's 6th Annual Belgian Fest and helping us drain the 3 inaugural casks of Stateside Saison. In fact on Friday we were one of the only beers to run out and the 2 casks on Saturday were gone by mid-day!

The response was tremendous and we can't wait for the official Mid-Atlantic launch of the product starting mid to late March.

Stillwater to debut at Max's Belgian fest and TTB approves label.

We are honored to say that the official debut of Stillwater Artisanal Ales Batch #1 of "Stateside Saison" will debut on Saturday Feb. 13 at Max's Annual Belgian Fest (Baltimore, MD) in the form of 2 rare casks. One dry-hopped and another dry-hopped with french oak added.
