So many beers- So little time… Spring is fast giving way to summer and we’ve all the right beers for this season! Plus we’ve some robust new exotics from Green Flash and New Holland that you’ll want to get your sweaty little hands on
Blue Buried (Holland, MI) – New Holland Brewing is introducing a new summer beer–the newest addition to their popular seasonal beer lineup. Brewed with local blueberries from the West Coast of Michigan, coriander and bright Mosaic hops, Lost Dune is New Holland’s take on easy, smooth drinking beer meant to capture summertime on the Great Lakes.
Manic (Seattle, WA) – Elysian Brewing has a brand new addition to their Manic IPA Series that sounds like too much fun. Elysian’s Hubris is a massive 8.6% ABV India Pale Ale brewed with staggering amounts of Chinook, Cascade, and Centennial hops.
Cellar 3 (San Diego, CA) – Green Flash Brewing’sBarrelmaster’s Reserve, is an experimental series of extremely limited edition, barrel-aged beers from their Cellar 3 facility, and they’ve a new release (available on March 21st) that sounds “killer.” Lustrous Frumento with Coffee is the first “micro release” in the series, a “black ale,” in bourbon barrels for over 30 month After being deemed “ready” by the Barrelmaster himself, a cold bold blend of Brazilian and Sumatran coffee, is added to the already heady 13.1% ABV mix. Yesssssssssssssssssssss!
Hooked (Seattle, WA) – Redhook has a new summer seasonal that takes the “road less travelled.” Redhook Summerhook (redundant anyone?) is a 4.7% ABV Golden Rye Ale with a sturdy malt backbone and a super-crisp hop finish.
Happy Anniversary (Escondido, CA) – Back in 2002, the Stone Brewing celebrated their 6th anniversary, not with an IPA as you might expect, but with a cranked up Smoked Porter that was aged on Oak. And now Stone 6th Anniversary Porter has happily returned this robust 8% classic, as part of the brewery’s 20th Anniversary Encore Series –and the world is a better place for it.
