Cross the border into Wisconsin to seek out Sand Creek Barrel-Aged Wild Ride IPA, “a hefty IPA with a firm malt bill and an even firmer bitterness.”<\/em><\/span><\/h4>\nWith no prior knowledge, beer reviews or recommendations at your disposal, it\u2019s a gamble these days to follow your gut on a random 6-pack of beer. Yet again, there\u2019s nothing better than taking that chance and getting paid back in spades. This is how I felt when I purchased a rather mysterious 6-pack of Sand Creek Barrel-Aged Wild Ride IPA. Allow me to be the first to get you privy to this under-the-radar gem of a beer.<\/p>\n

Sand Creek Brewing Company has been in the Wisconsin craft beer game for as long as a I can remember. You may easily recognize their Oscar\u2019s Oatmeal stout or their seasonal Wisconsin Cranberry Special Ale, but besides that, they fly well under the radar. A moment of indecision and discontent in the beer cooler led me over to the Sand Creek shelf where I noticed a nondescript and inconspicuous sticker that read \u201cBarrel Aged\u201d stuck over all of the bottlenecks of their Wild Ride IPA. I double checked the price and noticed the beer was still line-priced with the rest of the Sand Creek sku\u2019s. What gives? Could this be possible? A 6-pack of barrel aged beer for well under $10. Certainly this is a mistake.<\/p>\n
