(Colorado Springs, CO) – Trinity Brewing announced some news along with its usual monthly beer release update for January. More below via email newsletter…

—

2013 marks another great year for Trinity Brewing, and potentially our best year to date.

We dramatically expanded our wood-aged project by adding a barrel room with well over 100 oak barrels.

We broke out of Colorado Springs with bottle distribution across the state of Colorado, and through the year we witnessed a 38% increase in volume produced.

Past all the numbers received a number of very noteworthy awards in 2013.

2014 is upon us all and we don’t plan on slowing down a bit.

One of the most visible major changes we are making is a shift from 750ml bottles to 375ml bottles for all offsite. That transition is happening in March, and if you want a big specialty bottle of one of our beers for your collection or cellar I recommend you find it soon.

There are plenty of interesting surprises in store for the remainder of the new year, but for the purpose of this newsletter I will focus on the month of January.

This Friday, January 10th, Chilly Water Balktik Porter returns on draft only. Moderate in body, don’t let this one fool you. It’s brewed to 8.5% ABV and aged on American oak Bourbon barrels for a provocative dryness and medium toffee.

On January 17th we welcome 2014 with our Cerise Saison Regal. Pappy Legba (the old creole folk legend known as guardian of crossroads) will be released in both 750ml bottles and draft. This winter seasonal is brewed with corn, wheat, and oats for a seductively creamy texture while this crimson red Belgian Ale gets 100% of it’s color from being aged on cherries. Our use of grains of paradise in this recipe creates balance and an ‘Asian cuisine’ sweet and spicy structure; 13% ABV.

Friday January 24th we release another hugggge winter warmer, Passed Stout. This rich and thick Imperial stout is anything but a typical stout, ‘passed’ the 11% ABV we this beer is brewed with a huge amount of milk chocolate, Madagascar vanilla beans, and bitter Dagoba Cacao nibs.
