Crooked Stave founder Chad Yakobson describes Origins as its "homage to the history of barrel-aging and those who have influenced us along the way."
It was brewed in the Flemish Red style of Belgium -- beers that are sometimes called the Burgundies of Belgium -- and is made of a blend of two batches: the first sat in French oak barrels for two years, while the second aged in barrels for eighteen months.
The bottles will go on sale at 5 p.m.; Yakobson says he doesn't think there will be enough left for liquor stores, but that Origins might end up in a few restaurants.
Crooked Stave's new taproom hours are Tuesday-Thursdsay, noon to 8 p.m.; Friday and Saturday, noon to 10 p.m.; and Sunday, noon to 6 p.m.
