So many beers- So little time… More fall seasonals in today’s newbies and we’ve a number of interesting offerings you’ll want to chase down…Plus we’ve some new releases from Flying Dog and The Bronx Brewery that sound pretty serious as well.
Hot / Hot / Hot (New York, NY) – The Bronx Brewery, has a new B-Side Series release that’s a very “hot” get. Brewed with serrano peppers grown locally in 23 different Bronx community gardens that comprise The Bronx Greenmarket Hot Sauce, Bronx El Serrano Red IPA is a 9% ABV Red IPA recipe was created by our friend and The Bronx Brewery’s Head Brewer Damian Brown. The first in a lineup of specialty beers to be offered periodically each year El Serrano Red IPA is now available throughout the greater NYC market.
Rocky Mountain High (Boulder, CO) – Upslope Brewing has a new Tap Room Series release that couldn’t be more timely. Pouring a deep amber color with a slight orange tinge, Upslope Oktoberfest is a 5.1% ABV Lager with malty aromas and just a touch of toast. Its clean taste and smooth mouthfeel make for perfect for the changing seasons and the crisp autumn air that’s coming our way.
Seeing Double (Littleton, CO) – Breckenridge Brewery has released the first in its new 471 IPA Barrel Series. The series features the brewery’s celebrated 471 Double IPA which is aged in whiskey barrels then dry hopped using a new hop variety every quarter. And the first release in this series features Hüll Melon hops in the dry hop stage. A complex, strong beer of this nature is brewed for sharing, so Breckenridge is shipping this special release in 22oz bottles as well as on draft.
One-Hitter (Petaluma, CA) – Lagunitas has a new One-Hitter Series release coming out this month that sounds “doubly” interesting. Lagunitas Doppel Sticky is a 7.7% Imperial Altbier that’s audaciously dry-hopped with the new Enigma hop from “down under.” Look for this one-hitter to surface soon on draft and in 12oz bottles.
The Fall Season Pumpkin Parade Continues (Frederick, MD) – This week’s addition to the ongoing pumpkin parade is an interesting new release our friends at Flying Dog – and we’re excited about what they’ve done. Amusingly named, and as always beautifully crafted, The Gourd Standard Pumpkin IPA is a 6.7% aggressively hopped India Pale Ale brewed with local pumpkin puree and a proprietary blend of spices.
