FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE 

American Brewing Company and AmericanCraftBeer.com announce a new collaboration: Red-Blooded American Imperial Red Ale

Edmonds-based American Brewing Company releases an Imperial Red Ale to help get you through the fall. 

EDMONDS, Wash. (October 1, 2015) – As the seasons change, so should your beer. That’s why American Brewing Company and AmericanCraftBeer.com have joined forces on Red-Blooded American Imperial Red Ale; a bold, hoppy brew that will leave you praising the good ‘ole U S of A.  Pull up a chair, pop open a 22-ounce bottle, and prepare your taste buds for this delicious new addition to American Brewing Company’s already robust line of beers. 

“We are really happy to have put this together with AmericanCraftBeer.com,” quoted Adam Frantz, Head Brewer at American Brewing Company. “We have come up with a beer that is not only a delicious red ale, but has the hoppy kick that we all love so much.”

Red-Blooded American Imperial Red Ale was brewed with Northwest Pale, Wheat, and Dark Crystal malts to give it a deep burgundy color. The additions of Simcoe, Cascade, and Centennial hops brings in piney and citrus flavors; and a double dry hop regime brings that extra punch that craft beer drinkers love so much. Adam said he wanted this beer to taste like a hike through a Northwest Forest. 

“We couldn’t be more excited about this collaboration and to have had the opportunity to work with Adam, Neil, and the whole crew at American,” commented Tom Bobak, Editor-In-Chief at AmericanCraftBeer.com. “These are good people and they brew serious beer. This project has just been a blast from start to finish. The beer itself is pretty special and I still can’t believe that we were the schmucks they wanted to brew it with.”
