About this beer

Candy Captain is a barleywine-style ale aged in bourbon barrels with coconut and candy cap mushrooms, a collaboration between Santa Flora Brewery and Everywhere. This strong ale weighs in at 12.5% ABV and is brewed with water from Surgeon General wells and 52% local ingredients, specifically bottled in February 2026 as batch #1. The flavor profile is undoubtedly complex, promising a rich base from the barleywine, deepened by the oak influence of the bourbon barrels, and uniquely accented by the tropical notes of coconut alongside the distinctive, maple-syrup-like flavor of candy cap mushrooms.

The 750 mL bottle features artwork depicting a detailed, old-fashioned sailing ship—the *Santa Flora*—sailing through icy waters. The label prominently displays the brewery’s location as North Carolina, and a circular badge indicates it was brewed & bottled at Nebo. A government warning is also present, as is standard for alcoholic beverages.
