Wild Acre teamed up with local Fort Worth distillery Firestone and Robertson in order to procure barrels in the shortest possible time frame from the time they were emptied of TX Bourbon, to the time they were filled with Thunder Hug Imperial Stout. Thunder Hug was aged in the barrels for a full calendar year. The end result is a 13.7% ABV beer with a richness and bourbon notes that can only be achieved with such a local collaboration and planning.
