Tasting Notes

Ingredients

No ingredients are published. The 2020 announcement credits the recipe to head brewer Ryan Traylor and gives only the style and strength (Katy EDC). A 2015 review of an Off Label beer of the same name notes raisin, dark fruit and brown bread aromas and tannic wood structure, but names no ingredients (My Table: Off Label Perpetual Peace).

Style Context

As category context only, the Brewers Association guidelines have no standalone entry for this competition category; their Other Strong Ale or Lager entry sets elevated alcohol at 8% ABV and up and notes that wood- and barrel-aged beers meeting that threshold are categorized separately. The announced 12.3% ABV is well above that threshold.

Research Notes

  • The brewery site has no individual beer pages; its home page lists Perpetual Peace only in award listings (wood- and barrel-aged strong beer golds in 2024 and 2025, among others) and its beer page shows only images.
  • The 12.3% ABV comes from the 2020 debut announcement; the ABV of the 2026 entry is not published and may differ by batch.
  • Origin conflict: Katy EDC describes it as a new beer in November 2020, while My Table reviewed an Off Label Perpetual Peace in March 2015. They may be different batches or releases of the same name; not resolved.
  • Covering Katy reports a silver at the 2025 GABF plus golds at the World Beer Cup and Texas Craft Brewers Cup.
  • Researched 2026-10-13.
  • Field pass 2026-10-13: The exact undated Perpetual Peace listing publishes 21 IBU; no hops or additional brewery beer page were verified. Dated variants were excluded.
  • Deep dive pass 2026-10-14: the brewery home page lists the beer's awards only.
