A Note on This Beer
Forget the blender and bucket of ice -- instead turn to Copper Kettle’s craft beer-inspired vision of a lime and agave-soaked margarita: Tequila Barrel-Aged Sobremesa. With only 150 cases in existence, this poolside sipper will leave your buddies begging to crash your summertime “cocktail” party.
The GABF Gold-winning Colorado brewmasters left no zesty stone unturned to transform this 8.5% ABV Strong Ale into a refreshing marg-like brew:
- They age the beer in Mexican Tequila barrels for a citrus-earthy, Patrón-like flavor with a bite of oak.
- Tangy lime zest punches the flavor with even more citrus zing.
- Agave nectar doubles down on the tequila power, boosts the ABV, and adds just a touch of sweetness to balance the lime tang.
- A strong, richly-fruity English Pale Ale base absorbs all the barrel flavor in a refreshing body.
You don’t need a fully stocked bar to make a great margarita -- Sobremesa does all the work for you! It’s refreshing enough to keep you quenched while eating spicy chorizo tacos. In no time, you’ll put on a sombrero and shout OLÉ into your salsa!

Pours a rich clear copper color, small head dissipates quickly to flat. Tequila takes over in the aroma, the barrel aging having a lot of influence on this Brew. Taste is the same, more of the tequila notes. Not much of the pale ale comes through except for a little bit of sweet malt and some caramel. I'm on the fence on this one it's got some nice flavors, but it didn't live up to my expectations.
