Production & Heritage

Tyranena Brewing Company operates out of Lake Mills, Wisconsin, using a modern six-vessel, 30-barrel Sprinkman brewhouse. The Brewers Gone Wild series represents the brewery's most ambitious and limited offerings, with each release built around a different style taken to its extreme. Past releases have included provocatively named beers like Dirty Old Man, Carnal Knowledge, Who's Your Daddy, and Bitter Woman from Hell — each engineered to deliver maximum flavor intensity through bold grain bills, aggressive hopping, barrel aging, or unconventional ingredients.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Across the series, expect deep layers of roasted malt, brown sugar, and dark chocolate on the nose. Oak and vanilla frequently appear in barrel-aged releases, with underlying hints of caramel and coffee depending on the specific variant.

Taste: Entry typically brings a strong backbone of chocolate and roasted malt, building into rich caramel, dark fruit, and brown sugar at mid-palate. Barrel-aged variants add complexity with bourbon-tinged warmth and layered vanilla, while hop-forward releases deliver assertive bitterness balanced by malt sweetness.

Finish: The finish tends toward the long and warming side, with lingering notes of roasted grain, dark chocolate, and a faint bourbon or oak resonance in aged editions. Mouthfeel is generally full-bodied and smooth despite the intensity.

How to Drink Brewers Gone Wild

These beers are best enjoyed at cellar temperature — around 50–55°F — poured into a tulip glass or snifter to concentrate the complex aromas. Given the rotating styles and higher-than-average intensity, each release rewards slow, contemplative sipping rather than mixing into cocktails. If a specific release is hop-forward, try it alongside a charcuterie board; if it leans malty or barrel-aged, let it stand on its own as a dessert course substitute.

Best For

• Gifting an adventurous craft beer collector who values limited-run releases
• Hosting a tasting flight alongside other extreme or barrel-aged beers
• Pairing with a rich dessert course at a dinner party
• Celebrating a special occasion with something rare from a small Wisconsin brewery
