So many beers- So little time… Gigantic Brewing only makes one year-round, Gigantic IPA. Everything else is a seasonal that’s usually around for no longer than 3 months and then never repeated again – and that’s why we’re psyched about their latest offering. We’ve some new releases from Deschutes and Heavy Seas that sound exceptionally awesome as well.
Born To Die (UK) – It appears that that the Ellon, Scotland-based BrewDog will be releasing a new IPA that’s inspired by Stone’sEnjoy By series. BrewDog Born to Die – 04.07.2105 will be the first IPA in the series to hit the marketplace.
White Light White Heat (Portland, OR) – Gigantic Brewing only makes one year-round and that’s Gigantic IPA. Everything else is a seasonal that is never repeated again. Taking its name from a Velvet Underground classic Gigantic White Light White Heat is a dangerously drinkable 8.2& ABV Belgian White IPA and it’s available now through July.
Elemental (Portland, OR) – Burnside Brewing has just introduced the first release form their new Elemental Scale Series. Burnside’s Blueberry Mint Saison is a6.9% ABV French style Saison that has been kettle soured to yield an intensely aromatic beer that is true to its rustic roots. . Inspired by a Kombucha drink, this limited edition ale is fermented at slightly higher temperature than normal – with Blueberries and local Honey added at conditioning along with a cold side infusion of a “mint tea.”
Drafted (Baltimore, MD) – Heavy Seas has just introduced the third beer in its draft-only, Desert Island Series – a program that features “one-time” releases of beers designed by individual members of the Heavy Seas brewing team. Heavy Seas American Honey Amber Ale is a 4.9% ABV limited release brewed with local Virginia barley and a touch of Bamboo honey. Each beer in the series is limited to only 100 barrels available at select locations – so you know what to do.
More “Bond Street” Migration (Bend, OR) – Deschutes has another Bond Street Series beer that’s made its way into six-packs – joining titles like Chasin’ Freshies and Fresh Squeezed IPA in the year-round line up. Deschutes Pinedrops IPA is 6.5% ABV American IPA – and it’s available now out west, but everyone else will just have to wait till summer.
