Elder Piper Beer & Cider's Silver Birch Imperial Stout
Bottoms Up
By Anna Faller | Jan. 18, 2025
Northern Michigan roots are the name of the game at Elder Piper Beer & Cider in Petoskey, and we can’t think of a better place to be rooted during cozy season than by a crackling fire with a glass of their Silver Birch Imperial Stout. Inspired by winter’s decadent darkness, this powerhouse packs an 11-percent ABV and is brewed using Michigan malt and hops and infused with cacao nibs and toasted coconut. The result is a delightfully-drinkable brew, both rich and roasty, with a flavor impression that’s not far off from a chocolate-dipped coconut macaroon. Grab a glass or a 750 ml bottle ($9/$22) at Elder Piper Beer & Cider at 923 Baxter St. in Petoskey.
