If you’ve been participating in Movember or No-Shave November – both have their roots in raising money and awareness for prostate and testicular cancers – don’t let a month of follicle growth go to waste.

Soggy Crumbs, the brewery’s annual gingerbread ale was aged in Old Forester 1910 bourbon barrels and Midnight Dream raspberry Russian imperial stout was aged in Sagamore rye whiskey barrels.
