Apple Country Spirits, along with Knucklehead Craft Brewing is excited to announce our first private party showcasing a specialty product called Truce. Your ticket will grant you entry to the private party, a tasting of Truce, one 375 ml bottle of Truce, plus your choice of a Knucklehead burger or hot dog. You also have the opportunity to purchase an additional bottle of Truce for your off-site enjoyment. We will also offer a cash bar during this private event.

Truce is a specialty ale like no other. It is the result of two small-batch, craft producers getting together and wondering “what if”. Truce combines Knucklehead Craft Brewing’s strong (or “imperial”) Scotch ale with Apple Country Spirits’ 2-Year barrel aged AppleJack. The two products were blended in used bourbon barrels and allowed to rest for 6 months, through late winter and summer. The resulting product is a thick and hearty ale that tops out at 20% ABV. The two alcohols combine to bring forward the sweetness of the malt and a hint of fruit flavor from the brandy. Unlike the normal collaborations of beer and distilled spirits, the Scotch ale was not simply put into used barrels, but was actually married with the AppleJack to boost the alcohol content and add a whole new layer of depth and complexity to the final product.



Truce is intended to be enjoyed with friends. It is not carbonated, and is shelf stable so can be stored for several weeks to months once opened, but is still best consumed upon opening. With that said, its high ABV and unique character will make it a stellar beer for cellaring. This inaugural batch is limited to 1 barrel (about 500 bottles), and will only be available through special release parties at the brewery in Webster and the distillery in Williamson. Make sure to follow us on social media for information about these events, and future limited release collaborations.
