Capital Eternal Flame celebrates brewery’s 25th anniversary
Capital Eternal Flame is now available.
Eternal Flame is a vertically brewed beer — a portion of one year’s batch becomes a component in the following year’s version. The 2011 vintage is the seed beer for all other batches to come. Capital brewmaster Kirby Nelson started with his very popular and very robust Autumnal Fire (itself a limited-release brew), and then made a second beer, designed as an Imperial Dopplebock, with an even maltier body and higher alcohol content. These two beers were then blended to produce Eternal Flame. Nelson plans to hold back a portion of this fall’s vintage, which will then be added to a new release next year, in a process that will be repeated year after year.
