Damned Decadent (Dallas, TX) – Lakewood Brewing has an interesting new addition to its ever-evolving Seduction Series, a line of Temptress Imperial Milk Stout variations. Aged for a year and a half in a bourbon barrel, then conditioned with caramel and sea salt, Lakewood Salted Caramel Temptress is a rich and creamy 12.1% ABV Imperial Milk Stout that’s almost a dessert in a bottle.
“This time of year calls for a decadent beer and this Temptress Stout variation checks all the boxes,” said Lakewood Founder and President Wim Bens. “Salted Caramel is slightly sweeter than regular Temptress with extra vanilla and lots of caramel flavor and aroma. And we’re super excited to share it once again with our fans just in time for proper fall weather!”
Like a Visit To Grandma’s But With Beer (Salt Lake City, UT) – Epic Brewing has a new small-batch limited release that was inspired by the dessert spread that grandma always pulls every time that you’d visit. Rich, chocolaty, and uber-approachable, Epic Grandma Van’s Candy Cane Stout is 6% ABV limited release with dark roasted malts, peppermint and subtle coffee notes.
Schlafly Cans A Winter Favorite (St Louis, MO) – The original, independent craft brewery in St. Louis, Schlafly Beer, is canning a seasonal favorite for the first time. Showcasing a 25-year partnership with local St. Louis roaster, Kaldi’s Coffee, Schlafly Coffee Stout is a 5.7% ABV limited release with big roasted barley and French coffee notes and a subtly sweet finish that lingers.
A Classic Pilsner Returns (White Plains, NY) Paulaner USA, the US importer of the legendary Paulaner Brewery portfolio, is bringing back the classic, (now in 16.9oz cans) with a recipe that the brewery has been refining since the mid-1800’s.
Crisp, clean, and as nuanced, Paulaner Pils is a 4.9% ABV Bavarian Pilsner with bright, floral hop aromatics and a brisk dry finish.
“Since 1634, Paulaner has been dedicated to the art of brewing and we strictly follow the Reinheitsgebot, Germany’s beer purity law,” says Steve Hauser, CEO of Paulaner USA. “We continue to stay true to our mastered brewing techniques and only use select, high-quality ingredients for the utmost taste and quality.”
