Only Imperial Stouts and Barleywines from the barrel
Private Press is a brewery that makes only Imperial Stouts and Barleywines and ages them in barrels. Blending is at the heart of it: the brewery combines the most lively lines from its barrel cellar into a beer that, in their words, is bold, round and distinctive.
They call every release a fusion of flavour, intention and vision. So don't expect hoppy beers, but heavy, malt-driven beers in which the barrel plays a big part.
