The third installment of our 25th anniversary trilogy, Bone Warmer Imperial Amber Ale was first brewed in 2006 and sold out faster than any other beer we’ve made. Bone Warmer, brewed in the “strong ale” tradition, is a beer of great character with exceptional malt flavor and warming alcohol content.

Historically, brewers often drew three different runs from the same barley mash. The first was used for strong ale or “best beer” because it had the most flavor, color, fermentable sugars and produced beer with the most alcohol. The second was used for a less strong “table beer,” and the third, a lighter and cheaper “small beer.”

Our Bone Warmer is brewed the same way, using only the first runnings from an extraordinarily thick, strong mash of Idaho 2-Row Metcalfe and Harrington barley malt, along with dark German Munich and caramel malts. We subtly spiced it with Idaho Chinook hops, fermented it at cool temperatures and cold-conditioned it for smoothness and drinkability. Available September 1st in 1/2 & 1/6 barrels and conditioned 750 mL bottles.

This is a crisp drinkable ale with a light malt body and subtle yet citrusy hop character. This ale made with 100% Idaho ingredients. Available only in Idaho starting September 9th in 12 ounce bottles, 1/2 & 1/6 barrel kegs.
