—

Burnside Brewing is happy to be releasing a couple new one off beers this month one to draft and one to bottle. Neptune’s Wrath will be the breweries first specialty limited edition beer in bottles and Meridian Rye a new draft only beer made with the exciting new Meridian hops.

Neptune’s Wrath is an Strong Ale brewed with 18 gallons of Hama Hama oyster liquor and 4 pounds Lemon peel. We took half of this batch of beer and aged it in Cristom Pinot noir barrels. After 6 months on oak we back blended it with the non barrel aged half. This beer is 10.2% ABV and has notes of cherry, french oak, malt sweetness with a slight brininess at the back end.

Packaged in Magnum sized (1.5 litres or 51oz) and limited to only 100 hand numbered green glass bottles with a wraparound label Neptune’s Wrath is expected to cellar well and be a valuable edition to anyone’s craft beer collection! Bottles go on sale at the pub opening this Tuesday 2/28 at 3pm for $30.

One of Burnside’s new Spring seasonals, Meridian Rye is brewed with 45% Roggenmalz ( German Rye ), coriander and Meridian hops. Slight nuttiness from the rye is balanced with undertones of fresh spice, berries, nuts and tropical fruits flavors created by the heavy additions of Meridian hops and coriander. 6.06% ABV

Look for this beer on tap at the pub starting Tuesday March 6th.
