Two fan favorites are returning to Charleville Brewing and will be available for the next few weeks.
What’s Coming
First, the big return. After a three year hiatus, Triple Wit is back. This Charleville Brewing classic is kind of a hybrid between the Belgian Triple and Wit styles. Made with coriander and fresh whole pureed Clementine oranges, it rings in big at 9% ABV.
Despite its loyal following, Charleville brewers decided to take a break from this one, because they struggled with Package distribution even though draft distribution always did well. The return of this beer is draft only because they have had a lot of requests for it to come back, but you’ll need to move fast, as the availability of this beer is expected to last only a few weeks.

The second fan-favorite to return at Charleville is one which I’ve previously deemed one of the best beer names ever, Late Night Karate Kicks.
Originally Brewed by Deanna Cartee a former brewster at Charleville. “We used to do brewers competitions, and one year she won with this coffee stout brewed with Highlander Grog Coffee,” said owner Tait Russell. “We use Chauvin Coffee’s Highlander Grog with a cold infusion. It stands out from other coffee stouts mainly due to the type of coffee, which has a maple syrup flavor. Tastes like pancakes beer and coffee all at once!
