So many beers, So little time… New Belgium is celebrating their whimsical “bike, beer, and bemusement” tour with a new fall seasonal brewed to commemorate it. We’ve that story for you plus other cool new releases from Stone and Fort Collins Brewery that you’ll want to get your sweaty little hands on.
Hercules Unchained! (St Paul, MN) – The Summit Brewing Company is releasing the 16th edition to their Unchained Series and we’re interested. The first “unchained” beer from new brewer Christian Dixon, Summit Herculean Woods is an 8.2% ABV American Lager brewed with maple syrup and spruce tips, and it will be available on draft and in bottles beginning next week.
Tour de Fat in a Bottle (Ft. Collins, CO) – New Belgium Brewing’s new fall seasonal celebrates Tour de Fat, the brewery’s traveling festival of “bikes, beer, and bemusement” that is just beginning the second phase of its ten-city tour. New Belgium Tour de Fall is a 6% ABV American Pale Ale.“This well-balanced, crisp beer is perfect for fall,” said New Belgium Assistant Brewmaster Grady Hull. “It’s not spiced like a lot of other fall beers.” Instead, Tour de Fall is dry-hopped with two different hop varieties, and it’s available now in 12 oz. bottles and on draft.
Red Banshee 2.0 (Ft. Collins, CO) – In an act of undisguised arrogance, The Fort Collins Brewery has changed up one of their award-winning classics. FCB’s 5.5% ABV Red Banshee Ale may have the same ruby hue but it now has a whole new recipe that’s using a German alt yeast strain, upping the hop profile and saying good-bye to chocolate melts.
The Hoppiest Place on Earth (Escondido, CA) –Eighteen years ago, Stone’s Greg Koch and Steve Wagner sold their first keg of Stone Pale Ale to San Diego County brewpub Pizza Port and now, they are craft beer legends. And they are celebrating their journey together and all that Stone has become with their newest release. Stone 18th Anniversary IPA is an imperial golden-brown IPA dry-hopped exclusively and abundantly with El Dorado hops. This massive, one-time anniversary is available now in 22 oz. bottles and on draft at select markets nationwide.
The Late-Summer Pumpkin Parade Continues (Seattle, WA) – Whether we like it or not, breweries keep bringing out their seasonals earlier and earlier, and Redhook Brewery has just released one. One of the brewery’s best-selling seasonals, Redhook “Out of Your Gourd” Pumpkin Porter is a lightly hopped and full-bodied 5.8% ABV fall brew that they’ve released just in time for your next trip to the beach or backyard cookout.
