Jester King’s 2017 Bière de Blanc du Bois
Fall’s a great time for beer and for exploring new drinking directions…And we’ve 5 new releases you might need to chase down this weekend.
Grape Full (Austin, TX) – Jester King has a new weekend release that was crafted using the region’s Texas Hill Country grapes. Working with aged Das Überkind as a base beer, which was then re-fermented with 1,100 pounds of Blanc du Bois grapes from Torre di Pietra Vineyards in Fredericksburg, Texas, Jester King’s 2017 Bière de Blanc du Bois is a 6.9% blended Wild Ale that will leave you grape full.
Dogfish Head Spruces Things Up (Milton, DE) – Dogfish Head just returned a seasonal cult favorite that should be hitting retail this weekend. Brewed with massive additions of fresh spruce tips from the region’s fall forests, Dogfish Head Pennsylvania Tuxedo is BIG 8.5% ABV Pale Ale with a doughy malt backbone that allows the hops and spruce to shine.
Super Stouts (Denver, CO) – River North Brewing is returning two fan fav’s that they’ll be tapping at their Halloween party this weekend. Infused with more than three pounds per barrel of locally roasted whole coffee beans, River North Nightmare Fuel (and it’s barrel-aged brethren) are two high-octane 13.5 % Imperial Coffee Stouts that a scary good.
A Cake Walk (San Diego, CA) – Coronado Brewing has just released a much anticipated addition to their popular Coronado Collection that’s rich with layers of vanilla, dark chocolate and toffee tones. Coronado Barrel-aged Black Forest Cake is a 9% ABV barrel-aged Imperial Stout with a lingering cocoa finish.
Brewery Lane (Littleton, CO) – Breckenridge has a new small-batch Brewery Lane Series release that was crafted with Gewurztraminer grape juice form Colorado’s western slope and wood toned. Aged for almost two months in virgin oak barrels, Breckenridge Oak Aged Saison is a 10.3% Belgian-style Ale with a light effervescent quality and an uber-clean finish.
