The Story Behind The Bottle
Habits Bottle Shop
The Cranfather is a bourbon barrel-aged ale from Founders Brewing Co., built as a classic base ale infused with complex barrel character and a fruited twist. The barrel aging brings depth, while pleasant hints of cranberry and orange peel give it a distinct seasonal personality.
Expect a nose of vanilla, dried fruit, and caramel from the bourbon barrel, with cranberry tartness and citrus orange peel layered over the palate, finishing warm and slightly tart rather than purely sweet. It's a well-rounded barrel-aged ale that balances richness with brightness.
Serve it in a snifter at cellar temperature, and pair it with roasted turkey, cranberry sauce, or a spiced dessert — it's a natural fit for a holiday table. Looking for a barrel-aged ale with a festive twist? Shop craft beer online at Habits Bottle Shop and add The Cranfather to your order.

Neat
Served on its own in a rocks glass, letting the full character come through exactly as crafted.
On The Rocks
A single large-format ice cube slowly opens things up and softens the edges as it melts.
In A Cocktail
Works well as the backbone of a simple classic — let it do the heavy lifting.
