Pearl Street Brewery Releasing Belgian Quad Aged in Bourbon Barrels for 25th Annual Winter Ball!

During the event, Pearl Street Brewery will be releasing a Belgian Quad aged in Bourbon Barrels for the last five years (12oz single bottles).

On Saturday, February 17th, Pearl Street Brewery celebrates its 25th Annual Winter Ball – Party Like It’s 1999 with a special release.

During the event, Pearl Street Brewery will be releasing a Belgian Quad aged in Bourbon Barrels for the last five years (12oz single bottles). The Brewmaster says, ‘When we hit the 20-year milestone, we decided we better make something special for our 25th anniversary, so I brewed a Trappist-style Belgian Quad and put it into bourbon barrels where it has been resting for the last five years. We have now kegged some of the batch and bottled some of it. After the long rest in bourbon barrels, the beer is in excess of 12% ABV. We called it ‘Lamb of Quad,’ and the girls upstairs made a cool label for the bottles.’ The beer will be released at the Winter Ball Saturday, February 17, 2024.

Additionally, The event will feature live music, delectable food, and a fantastic array of craft beverages from Pearl Street Brewery and Turisimo Winery & Fermentation. Guests will groove to live performances by The Smokin’ Bandits and Gruv Collection, accompanied by an eclectic selection of special release drinks, beers, and beverages.

History of Winter Ball 
In 1999, Joe and his father, Tony, established Pearl Street Brewery in a downtown La Crosse bar’s basement. This marked the birth of a legend, and since then, it’s been a vibrant, storied history. Now, after 25 years, the brewery is set to celebrate another Winter Ball at its Northside La Crosse home. Throughout its history, this anniversary celebration has transformed across various locations, each leaving cherished memories for attendees.

The inaugural Winter Ball in 1999 was hosted at the Bodega. Subsequent events took place at Bluebird Campground, Westby Rod & Gun Club, El Coco Loco (now closed), and twice in a historic 1800s barn. Once, it was even held in Timber Coulee, nestled in the heart of the Coulee Region. This year, people from near and far will gather to celebrate at the brewery’s Saint Andrew Street location.

Pearl Street Brewery Announcing its 4-part Seasonal Sour Series

Seasonal Release of Gosecopia made with Wisconsin Cranberries.

When Pearl Street Brewery releases its 4-part Seasonal Sour Series it is throughout the year and they don’t traditionally have all four beers available all at once, this year the stars have aligned and customers will be able to pick up Pearl Street Brewery’s Pop Gose, 17-UP Lemon Lime Gose, Sour Winter Gose, and Gosecopia all at the same time! 

These sours have undergone spontaneous primary fermentation with native microbes found in the air in La Crosse, Wisconsin. This natural, terroir fermentation doesn’t just create an inviting sourness, but also connects this beer to our land and our community. 

Pop Gose – The complex flavor profile is built with lavender and hibiscus flowers, both tart and aromatic, while cucumbers lend a light, fresh taste. It’s as refreshing as the spring thaw in Wisconsin. (Seasonal Spring Release – 5% ABV 3.5 IBUs)                           

17-UP Lemon Lime Gose – Originally brewed to celebrate 17 years of The Pearl Street Brewery, this is a tangy and refreshing conundrum. This particular Gose is flavored with natural lemon-lime essence for a mind-warping exbeerience. (Seasonal Summer Release – 4.8% ABV 3.5 IBUs)                                                                                       

Sour Winter Gose –  The brisk tangy backbone is a lot like the brisk Winter air around here. This beer also contains unrefined, ancient sea salt, fresh spruce tips harvested by our friends up in the mountains around Juneau, Alaska and the essential oil pressed from the skins of the rare Italian Bergamot orange. (Seasonal Winter Release – 4.8% ABV 3.5 IBUs)       

Gosecopia – Fourth in our seasonal sour series, this Gose is flavored with natural guava, mango, and locally sourced cranberry for a bountiful exbeerience.   (Seasonal Fall Release – 5.3% ABV  3.5 IBUs)

Pearl Street Brewery to Can Flagship Favorite Java Lava Coffee Stout and Special Seasonal Selections

Pearl Street Brewery to Can Flagship Favorite Java Lava Coffee Stout and Special Seasonal Selections

Pearl Street Brewery will be distributing more of its flagship beers in cans, including the Java Lava Coffee Stout along with its selection of yearly seasonals including Rumpshaker IPA, That’s What I’m Talkin’ ’bout Organic Rolled Oat Stout, and Al Caporter

Java Lava Coffee Stout 

This stout is brewed with an infusion of fresh,  locally roasted Guatemalan coffee beans from our friends at Bean Juice coffee roasters. The dark beans are steeped in our stout until optimum flavor has been reached. You’ll find a fresh coffee aroma with roasty, toasty undertones. 5.5% ABV  14 IBUs 

Rumpshaker IPA

Looking more like a milkshake than a beer, brazen turbidity and bright, juicy hops mark this style. Our version is a hazy non-fruited version. 6% ABV 65 IBUs

That’s What I’m Talkin’ ’bout Organic Rolled Oat Stout

This Rolled Oat Stout is a full-body black malt Betty and is reflective of the industrial rail systems that plow through Wisconsin. It’s chocked full of organic rolled oats, chocolate and black malts and a variety of hops. And even with all that, it won’t weigh you down. Which means pint after pint, it’s full steam a-mocha brown-head.  5.5% ABV  14 IBUs

Al Caporter

A porter featuring an abundance of chocolate malt, a rich dark brown color, infused with even more chocolate flavor, and a noticeable dose of strawberry essence for the flavor and aroma of a fresh chocolate-covered strawberry. 6% ABV
