Tyranena’s brewers have a tendency to go crazy when it comes to their series of Big, Bold, Ballsy Beers. The Lake Mills, Wisconsin based brewery’s Brewers Gone Wild Series features unique and extreme beers that come complete with wacky names. Previous beers in the series have included Hop Whore Imperial India Pale Ale, Dirty Old Man Imperial Rye Porter, Doubly Down N’ Even Dirtier Barrel Aged Chocolate Vanilla Double Stout, Benji’s Smoked Chipotle Imperial Porter, La Feme Amere Wisconsin Belgique-Style IPA, and Bitter Woman In The Rye. While we will see some of these releases again over the coming year, it is the current release that has us excited.
Shaggin’ In The Wood is Tyranena’s latest Brewers Gone Wild offering, and it is beginning to hit our stores. Have you ever tried Tyranena’s winter seasonal Sheep Shagger Scotch Ale? If you are a fan of that brew, then you are in luck: Shaggin’ In The Wood is the same beer as Sheep Shagger, except that 70% of it is aged in bourbon barrels. Expect Shaggin’ In The Wood to harness the same big caramel malt notes and smokiness that made Sheep Shagger delectable, with added elements of bourbon and wood.
Previous releases in Tyranena’s Brewers Gone Wild series are next to impossible to find not only because Tyranena doesn’t brew very much of them, but because they are extremely popular. Shaggin’ In the Wood will follow in their footsteps, and will only be available for a limited time.

Is this available in all stores? Any word on ABV? How does this compare to the Founder’s Backwoods Bastard, or Sprecher’s iteration of the style- two other bourbon barrel aged scotch ale?Thanks for the help.
David:It should be available at the majority of stores, in limited quantities. You might want to call ahead to reserve a 4-pack. It is the same concept as the Backwoods Bastard in that it is a bourbon barrel aged Scotch ale, but they both have their strong points.
maybe these breweries, put these beers in bourbon bbls to cover up flaws in their beers & sell them instead of dumping the batches??
This is not the case with Shaggin In the Wood, because the non bourbon version is delicious.
what this world needs is more bourbon-barrel aged beers…. and more smoked beers.hey…. that’s an idea! how about a 14% ABV bourbon barrel aged doppelrauch? yessiree bob!
Mmmm BBA Doppelrauch! That sounds amazing
