Tripling Down On Cinnamon (Denver, Co) – Cinnamon is a great addition to many things: coffee, tea, any kind of baked goods like cinnamon rolls (obviously) and now River North Brewery is extending the possibilities to its bestselling whiskey-barrel aged stout. Debuting on July 31, River North Triple Cinnamon Mr. Sandman is a silky-smooth 11% ABV Imperial Stout that has been brewed with three varieties of cinnamon sourced from the far corners of the world: Sri Lankan Ceylon, Vietnamese Cassia, and Indonesian Korintje.
Grapefruit Infused (Columbus, OH) – BrewDog USA has fruit-forward year-round that was first introduced in 2015 and is currently available as part of its new Summer Mixed Pack. BrewDog Elvis Juice is a 6.5% ABV grapefruit-infused American IPA with a bitter edge that might push your citrus tolerance to the brink if it wasn’t tethered to a sturdy deep caramel malt backbone that prevents the full frontal fruit overload that mars so many tropical fruit-forward India Pale Ales.
