Just opened a crowler of Town Hall Brewery Manhattan Reserve and this one is something special.

Inspired by the classic Manhattan cocktail, it blends tart Michigan cherries with a Belgian-style Grand Cru aged in bourbon barrels from two Kentucky distilleries. The result is a deep crimson sipper loaded with jammy cherries, caramel, candi sugar, and soft notes of bourbon and oak. At 13% ABV, it’s rich but incredibly smooth, with the cherries popping in the finish before settling into a warm whiskey character.

It really does capture the spirit of a Manhattan, but with far more depth and layers than the cocktail itself.

If you’re lucky enough to come across this one, grab it. It’s a stunning sipper that deserves a slow pour in a proper glass. 🍒🍺
