Stevens Point Brewery’s Whole Hog Limited Release Brewmaster’s Series welcomes Whole Hog Russian Imperial Stout to its portfolio of big, bold beers.

A rich, luxurious brew fit for royalty, Whole Hog Russian Imperial Stout will be available in four-packs of 12-ounce bottles starting February 1 wherever Point beers are sold.

Russian Imperial Stouts are growing in popularity in the craft-beer segment, according to Joe Martino, Stevens Point Brewery Operating Partner. “Russian Imperial Stouts are especially popular on the West Coast, and enthusiasm for the style has been steadily spreading eastward,” Martino said. “As the boldest, strongest style of stout, Russian Imperial Stout is the perfect year-round addition to our Whole Hog Limited Release Brewmaster’s Series, which is dedicated to delivering the best of the big, bold beer styles to Point’s loyal drinkers.”

Whole Hog Russian Imperial Stout and its partner brews, Whole Hog Six-Hop India Pale Ale, Whole Hog Imperial Pilsner and the spicy seasonal Whole Hog Pumpkin Ale, are handcrafted in small batches to appeal to the most discerning craft-beer aficionados.
