Durango, CO (Nov. 9, 2016) – Ska Brewing Dementia is setting in just in time for the holiday season. Ska aged their winter pale ale Euphoria in Peach Street Distillers’ bourbon barrels to bring on Dementia.

“Peach aromas, caramel sweetness and a touch of chocolate and toast provide a boozy and earthy essence,” said Thomas Larsen, Headbrewer. “It is the perfect winter warmer.”

Dementia will be sold individually in 22-oz. bombers for a very limited time throughout Ska’s largest markets: Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, So Cal and Illinois. Pick some up before any holiday gathering this season.
