Lanthrone: The Legend Reborn From Red Fragrance to Miracle

1. Jackie O's: Love Song Aged in a Barrel

There are beautiful stories that often start from a desire burning. And in the year 2005, on the small West Union Street in Athens, Ohio, Art Oestrike lit that fire with the decision to establish a brewpub called Jackie O's. The name was not just a shorthand, but a respectful tribute to Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis - a symbol of timeless elegance. Perhaps the owner cherished the hope that his products would also become eternal in the hearts of beer lovers, the way "Jackie O" left its mark in popular culture?

Trip Jackie O's story isn't just about expansion, it's a symphony of passion. From the first fermentation tanks in the brewpub, the beer's aroma spread so strongly that in 2009, a separate bottling plant was built to tell the story in more places. And then, 2012 officially marked the turning point to bring this brand to the hands of connoisseurs across the shelves.

But perhaps, the milestone 2015 is truly a dream come true to reach out to the sea. A 20,000 square foot production facility on Campbell Avenue has opened up space for endless artistic creations. And to deepen those masterpieces, 2018 saw the birth of the Barrel Room & Blendery – a sacred space where complex beers are brewed in the heart of oak barrel, silently and patiently waiting for the moment to shine.

What makes soul Jackie O's is all about sustainability: using local Ohio ingredients, pursuing ambitious recipes, and not being afraid to push the envelope. It's the kind of art that turns heads around the world.

2. Lanthrone: The Burning Legend That Will Be Incarnated

And then, in that fiery journey, a legendary was born: Lanthrone. In the beginning, it was a Imperial Red Ale Powerful at 11% ABV, a fiery red that burns with rich caramel and malty richness.

But fate had a story for Lanthrone, one that was more beautiful than mere existence. The artisans at Jackie O's discovered that its characterful senna did more than stop there. When aged in oak barrels, Lanthrone's spirit magically blossomed. It became more complex, seductive, and profound.

One key decision was launched: instead of keeping it as a separate beer, they gave it a higher mission – to be the perfect base for the famous Rum Barrel-Aged Black Maple. Lanthrone was discontinued to be transformed. The warm caramel flavor now forms the basis for notes of vanilla, oak, and sweet rum, creating a captivating whole.

Heritage of Lanthrone thus does not disappear. It lives on, rebirth in every drop of the most complex craft beer, aimed at the most demanding beer connoisseurs, those who appreciate a beautiful story brewed over time.
