RIP Burn Out

RIP Burn Out. You came into this world in the most unlikely of manners. A lunchtime pint of Freewheeler, a piece of habanero topped sushi, cucumber water at a la-ti-da wedding reception, cucumbers AND habaneros on sale at Restaurant Depot. A serendipitous confluence of circumstances too random to ignore.

Your too-short life was born in a single keg batch, but your cool factor was too much to be so constrained, propelling you to instant cult status. Beer festival show stopper to stock-up-on-it seasonal, and then to the primetime. Your fire burned bright. But, alas, all candles reach the end of their tallow. Your race has been run, your game played well.

Though your run on the shelves of local bottle shops and watering holes may be over, we’ll make sure to keep you on at our taproom for your die hard fans.

We want you to go off like king, so we are going to give you what the ’09 Vikings should’ve given Brett Favre, a proper Viking funeral. So, raise a glass and join us in shooting roman candles at a pyre of leftover Burn Out cartons. We will see you a the taproom February 13th for Burn Out specials as we send her off to a proper retirement.
