What's this? TWO BREWS?!?!?!

Long ago, Glamdring was the sword of Turgon, King of Gondolin. At the Nirnaeth Arnoediad, one of the great and terrible battles of the First Age, Turgon hewed his way through the hosts of Morgoth.

Upon its jeweled hilt, a Sindarin proclamation in Cirth declares:

“Turgon aran Gondolin tortha gar a matha i vegil
Glamdring gûd daedheloth, dam an Glamhoth.”

Translated: “Turgon, king of Gondolin, wields, has, and holds the sword Glamdring, Foe of Morgoth's realm, Hammer of the Orcs.”

It was truly a Foe-Hammer, a blade of such renown and terror that the Orcs themselves knew and feared it. Yet the Hidden City of Gondolin fell. Beleriand was lost. Ages passed, the blade vanished, and its makers were gone.

But the Orcs remembered the sword.

More than 6,500 years later, Glamdring was found and drawn again — this time by Gandalf. Shining cold and bright against the darkness, the ancient Foe-Hammer was at his side from the goblin tunnels beneath the Misty Mountains to the Bridge of Khazad-dûm, and through the War of the Ring.

In that spirit, Glamdring, The Foe-Hammer is a cold and bright, hop-forward Hazy IPA forged with the legendary trinity of Citra, Mosaic, and Galaxy hops — brought together in a powerful union of brilliant citrus, deep tropical fruit, fierce aromatic intensity, and a soft, pillowy mouthfeel.

Cold and Bright amid Shadow and Flame, the Foe-Hammer endures!

Glamdring will be released along side Grond, in limited quantities at Starktoberfest 2026, beginning at 4PM on Saturday, October 10th. This is our first double brew release! Don't miss it!

I am thrilled to finally introduce to you all to our Barrel Aged English Barleywine, Grond: Hammer of the Underworld! ! 🍻

In the First Age, the epic of this oak barrel was wrought at Les Héritiers Crassous de Médeuil’s revered Distillerie de Fonds‑Préville in Macouba, Martinique. Beneath the shadow of the mighty volcano Mount Pelée, the fertile, mineral‑rich volcanic soil nurtured sugarcane of uncommon vigor. Fresh‑pressed and distilled into the celebrated Rhum J.M Agricole, its vibrant cane, notes of tropical fruit, and spice soaked deep into the oak, forever anointing the vessel with the spirit of the island.

In the Second Age, this distinguished cask journeyed across the seas to the American Midwest, where Master Distiller Murphy Quint of Cedar Ridge Distillery in Swisher, Iowa, selected it for a QuintEssential Special Release — an honor reserved for barrels of exceptional pedigree. There it held a renowned Single Malt Wh***ey, layering the oak with rich tones of vanilla, caramel, and toasted grain.

In the Third Age, now tempered and imbued with the wisdom of its Ages, the barrel became the forge for a b**r of formidable power, designed and hand‑crafted by Wizard’s Den Brewing and aged for 13 months. Within its oak staves, fire meets shadow, and the alchemy of time has forged barley, hops, water, and yeast into an Instrument of Dark Indulgence.

“Then Morgoth hurled aloft Grond, the Hammer of the Underworld, and swung it down like a bolt of thunder… and Grond rent a mighty pit in the earth…”

This monumental English-style Barrel‑Aged Barleywine strikes with dark intensity: decadent waves of deep caramel and toffee crash upon the palate, fortified by bold malt, dark fruit, and the lingering warmth of molasses and rum‑soaked oak. Wh***ey‑laced vanilla and spice echo the craft of its forging, while subtle tropical undertones whisper of its volcanic birth. This is no mere ale, but a creation of weight, depth, complexity, love, time, and reckoning.

Forged in Flame. Aged in Shadow.

I am proud to give you Grond, Hammer of the Underworld — and bid you unleash it upon the realms of Men.

Grond, Hammer of the Underworld will be released in a limited quantity at Starktoberfest 2026, beginning at 4PM on Saturday, October 10th.

Sampled the BA Barleywine this week, three months aged so far - and it did not disappoint! Color, Aroma, and Taste are right on the mark! It has many more months to forge but stay tuned!
