American Craft Beer The Best Craft Beer, Breweries, Bars, Brewpubs, Beer Stores, And Restaurants Serving Serious Beer.
It’s insane trying to keep up with all the new seasonals and special releases coming down the pike. And here are five interesting newbies brewed to pair brilliantly with this time of year.
Taking Comfort In Cucumber And Lime (Athens, GA) – Creature Comforts Brewing has a new warm weather release coming out any day now so you’ll want to be ready. Tart and refreshing with hints of coriander and sea salt, Creature Comforts Tritonia with Cucumber and Lime is a 4.5% ABV Gose that bravely goes where Gose goes.
Drinking Beer In Rose Colored Glasses (Bloomington, IN) – Upland Brewing will soon be releasing their newest specialty brew that first debuted as part of their draft-only Side Trail Series. Upland Petal to the Kettle is a 6% ABV kettle-soured ale with rose, hibiscus, and strawberry that’s primed and timed for early June.
American Trappist (Spencer, MA) – The Spencer Brewery which is housed and helmed by the monks at St Joseph Abbey is one of 13 certified Trappist breweries in the world and the only one located outside of Europe, has a very special June release that we’ve been praying for. True to tradition (and bottle-conditioned), Spencer Monks’ Reserve Ale is fragrant and robust 10.2% ABV Belgian-style Quadrupel with a rich malt-forward profile that gives way to a welcome and warm finish.
Slim Shady (Eugene, OR) – Ninkasi Brewing has returned a best-selling summer seasonal and they’ve given it a completely refreshed look. Bold yet incredibly smooth for a beer this complex, Ninkasi Maiden the Shade is a 6.8% ABV India Pale Ale that’s brewed with a select menu of eight different hop varieties.
Siren Song III (San Francisco, CA) – Anchor Brewing has just debuted the third addition to their Pacific Siren Series and it’s a sweet situation. Deep amber in color and sporting an enticingly rich aroma and tangy-sweet juiciness, Anchor Blood Orange Blonde is a 4.5% ABV Blonde Ale that combines the succulent complexity of blood oranges with a mild hop bitterness.
