Wellington Brewery releases limited edition UVB-76 barrel-aged brews and a new Welly Mix Pack

Wellington Brewery has released their latest edition of their UVB-76 Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout series, and their Volume 9 Welly Mix Pack, just in time for the holiday season.

UVB-76, also known as “the Buzzer”, is a mysterious Russian shortwave radio station that has been broadcasting continuously at 4625 kHz since 1973. Inspired by this cryptic radio transmission, the brewery has created a series of four Imperial Russian Stouts and bourbon barrel-aged them to perfection: Take note, these are full body, dark brews with an alcohol volume of 11.9%, double your average beer. Take your time to enjoy these, as each is full of unique flavours, and best enjoyed in a chilled glass.

📡 UVB-76 Yelena showcases the bright and lively side of coffee by taking Ethopian Sidamo cold brew and blending it with Cascara tea made from the skins of the coffee fruit. Instead of roasted coffee notes, this stout allows the barrel notes to blend with the expressive citrus coffee flavours alongside a slight raisin note and hint of hibiscus on the finish that comes from the Cascara. ABV: 11.9%

Available individually or as a 4-Pack online and from the brewery along with a new custom-designed UVB-76 glass tumbler or goblet while supplies last. Artwork for the series is designed by in-house graphic designer Gordon Auld.
