The California-based beer company Firestone Walker has introduced two new ales to their beer portfolio.

They are Old Man Hattan, a bourbon barrel-aged blended ale, and Nec Bones, an American wild ale fermented with nectarines.

Old Man Hattan, Bourbon Barrel-Aged Blended Ale is a vintage cocktail-inspired beer. The base beer of Old Man Hattan is a blend of signature Firestone Walker component beers, including Velvet Merkin, Bravo and Stickee Monkee aged in whiskey barrels. The twist comes from select lots of Parabola and Hell-Dorado that were aged in barrels previously used to mature cheery, orange and aromatic bitters. The result is a beer that exhibits whiskey notes while artfully essences of both the Old-Fashioned and the Manhattan cocktails, the company reports.

Old Man Hattan is only available DTC on FirestoneBeer.com and Firestone locations.

From the Barrelworks wild ale cellar comes Nec Bones, a barrel-aged brew co-fermented with 3,000 pounds of Paso Robles-grown Honey Fire nectarines. The nectarines were hand peeled and pitted, then added to a French oak foeder with a barrel-aged base beer. After a year of maturation, this ale was infused with Central Valley nectarine puree, then aged for an additional six months prior to packaging.
