2024 GBS Complete Set (West Creek Pick-up)
Since its beginnings in 2011 and Hardywood’s fourth beer ever released, Gingerbread Stout, affectionately known as GBS, has grown into an eagerly anticipated annual tradition, beloved by fans and brewed with a blend of passion, creativity, and a bit of chaos. What started as a concept sparked by a Virginia ginger farmer’s visit to a two-month-old brewery quickly expanded into an unbelievable collection of special iterations, each bringing a unique twist to the base recipe—an Imperial Milk Stout infused with Virginia-grown ginger, Virginia wildflower honey, whole Madagascar Bourbon vanilla beans, and Vietnamese cinnamon. Now, with years of iterations, barrel-aging experiments, and creative infusions—38 and counting—the GBS lineup has turned into a “Complete Set” of holiday-themed beers, a perfect gift and a celebration of all things rich, spiced, and decadent. But along the way, GBS’s story has included challenges and a few unforgettable moments. It all started with a knock on our doors by Bill Cox of Castlemont Farms.
