Newbies – New Releases That You Want to Look Out For – June 27, 2013
So many beers, So little time…With so many craft breweries, releasing so many beers, we thought it might help to provide a weekly update on all the new beers that are hitting the streets…So welcome to this week’s edition of Newbies – your guide to great new craft beer releases!
Sailor’s Delight (Baltimore, MD) – Heavy Seas has just announced the release of their popular summer seasonal. Red Sky at Night is a 7.25% ABV Saison Ale and if you’ve not tried it – well, you’ve been blowing it. Look for Red Sky to return to retail shelves in July.


Enjoy By Hits Four More (Escondido, CA) – The next edition in the Enjoy By IPA series, Stone Enjoy By 08.02.13 IPA, is heading to four markets.The lucky markets getting it this time: Colorado, Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada. The beer is set to arrive on Wednesday of next week so it will ship in a few days. Our friends at beerpulse are reporting that the most recent release in the series, Enjoy By 07.04.13 IPA, will be pulled from shelves if still available after Independence Day.
Allagash Releases Victor and Victoria (Portland, ME) – The Allagash Brewing Co. is pushing the envelope again with two fusion Tribute series brews: Victor and Victoria Ales. The 2013 Victoria Ale is a wine/beer hybrid that was inspired by a visit to Portland, Maine’s Victoria Mansion brewed with more than 200 pounds of Chardonnay grapes. With a focus on the wine-like character of the grapes, the 9.0% ABV brew pours copper and sounds awesome. The Victor Ale was inspired by its feminine-named predecessor and, like Victoria, it’s a wine/beer hybrid that instead features red Cabernet Franc grapes and has a slightly different malt bill. This one’s tart and spicy.Allagash donates $1.00 from every bottle sold in their Tribute Series.

Two Beers Acting All Presidential (Seattle, WA) – Two Beers Brewing has just made a Presidential announcement and it’s good news for Pilsner lovers. Presidential Pils is their 4.8% ABV Czech-style Pilsner. Brewed using 100% Pilsner malt and Czech Pils yeast strain, this sessionable Pilsner fills a much-needed niche in the Pacific Northwest where brewing this style of beer is less common. Presidential Pils is now available at The Woods tasting room as well as throughout the greater Seattle area.
