Our first anniversary beer will be released at the brewery next Thursday, Jan. 26th at 4pm! Mexican Cake is a 10.5% abv imperial stout brewed with cocoa nibs, cinnamon, vanilla, and habanero peppers. It will be on tap for sampling and for sale in 22oz bombers for $10.99 each (no growlers).

We’ve got some cool stuff coming your way in February! First up will be the Biere Pales de L’inde Farmhouse IPA. We took our flagship IPA recipe, tweaked it a little bit and fermented it with a blend of French saison yeast and 2 strains of brettanomyces – topped off with a big dry hop with Australian Galaxy hops. Bombers and draft should be out the week of Feb. 6th. Next up will be an un-imperial black extra pale ale (basically a really hoppy black ale, about 5% abv). Look for that one mid-late February. Finally, some of you guys may remember a funky sour smokey beer called the Lichtenhainer that we served at Brewvival 2011. It was so tasty that we had to brew it again, this time on a slightly larger scale. Tentative release date for this is the Sunday following Brewvival!
