On A Fool’s Mission (Portland, OR) – Cascade Brewing is returning a 2018 variation of a beer that they originally did with Burial Beer Company in Asheville, NC. Bursting with intense oak, savory lemon, and dried fruit notes, Cascade Chêne des Fous, meaning “Oak of the Fools,” is a 9.7% ABV blend of sour triple ales aged for up to 18 months in French oak barrels with dried sumac, fresh apricots and toasted American oak chains. Whew!

Made of Stout Stuff (San Diego, CA) –  Karl Strauss Brewing is welcoming in winter with something big and barrel-aged. Available in limited 500mL bottles while quantities last, Karl Strauss Barrel-Aged Vanilla Bean Wreck Alley is a massive, coffee infused 11.3% ABV Imperial Stout that was brewed with roasted malts and cocoa nibs before aging in Woodford Reserve Bourbon barrels with vanilla beans.

What’s Next? (Fort Collins, CO) – New Belgium Brewing has a new Next Up Series release, a line of beers dedicated to pushing the innovation envelope. Crafted with cold-brew from High Brew Coffee, New Belgium Nitro Cold Cream Ale is a 5% ABV, smooth and creamy refresher with  a deep, ruby brown color and a velvety mouthfeel.

Inspired by the Grateful Dead’s beloved American Beauty album, it was rereleased in 2014 and 2015, each year with different artwork. In 2018, it returned with a more approachable 6.5% ABV recipe and it returns a little different again this year.  Dogfish Head American Beauty Hazy Ripple IPA is a 7% ABV unfiltered IPA brewed with spelt, an ancient heirloom grain that contributes earthy notes and a natural haze, and dosed with a special yeast variety designed to liberate its hop aromatics.
