S’mores aren’t just a campfire treat — they’re a primal invocation, a memory trigger, a sticky-fingered rite of passage whispered into the DNA of anyone who’s ever sat too close to the flames. They’re the dessert that taught us how to linger, how to lean in, how to get a little messy and not care. Today, we take that magic, pour it into five glasses, and hand it to you in liquid form. This is not nostalgia in beer form; this is nostalgia amplified, boozed-up, and given a bourbon-barrel education. It’s chocolate and char, marshmallow and malt, graham and grain — a flight built to smolder, sip, and sigh your way into Sunday night.
Peaks & Pints Sunday S’mores Beer Flight
Iron Horse Brewery S’mores Death
6.3% ABV | Stout with Chocolate, Marshmallow & Graham | Ellensburg, WA
Iron Horse Brewery delivers a campfire confession in a glass with S’mores Death. This roasty stout softens under a drift of chocolate, sweet marshmallow, and a graham cracker whisper, like the dessert table at a block party you swore you’d only “look at.” The roast keeps it grounded, the sweetness makes it decadent, and the balance stops it from tipping into sticky chaos. One sip and you’re back at the fire pit, talking too loud, smelling faintly of woodsmoke, wondering how late the neighbors will stay.
Lumberbeard Brewing Barrel-Aged Campfire Snack
12.7% ABV | Imperial Pastry Stout | Spokane, WA
Lumberbeard Brewing takes the full s’mores fantasy and runs it through whiskey barrels for a warm, spiced backbone. Barrel-Aged Campfire Snack blooms with toasted marshmallow, silky vanilla, rich milk chocolate, peanut butter, and graham cracker. Gooey and plush, yet edged with oak and spirit heat, it’s like a fireside where every log is soaked in bourbon and every flame dances in slow motion.
Goose Island 2024 Bourbon County Brand Stout
14.7% ABV | Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout | Chicago, IL
Goose Island’s 2024 Bourbon County Brand Stout spends 16 months in freshly emptied Buffalo Trace and Four Roses bourbon barrels, emerging as a velvet avalanche of vanilla, fudge, caramelized sugar, and a wink of cherry-vanilla cola. The oak weaves warmth and depth through every sip, turning this beer into a fireside aria that hums low and long, coaxing you to stay for one more pour.
Great Notion Brewing Munchies
8% ABV | Pastry Stout | Portland, OR
Great Notion Brewing channels its inner camp counselor into Munchies, a pastry stout brimming with chocolate chunk cookie dough, roasted marshmallow melt, and ribbons of milk chocolate fudge over toasty malt. Creamy, rich, and shamelessly indulgent, it’s basically the part of the camping trip where you “accidentally” eat all the s’mores supplies before anyone else wakes up.
Abomination Brewing Midnight Snack (Tiramisu)
14% ABV | Imperial Pastry Stout | North Haven, CT
Abomination Brewing doesn’t just nod at dessert — it raids dessert’s fridge at 2 a.m., spoon in the mascarpone. Midnight Snack (Tiramisu) is a towering, boozy confection in liquid form: coffee-soaked ladyfingers, whipped cream decadence, dark chocolate whispers, and a vanilla sigh that lingers like the last candle at a dinner you didn’t want to end. Cacao hums low, coffee hums high, and the ABV wraps it all in a warm, slightly dangerous embrace. It’s the kind of beer you drink when you want your sweet tooth to black out and wake up smiling.
