Press Release: 

(Dover, DE) – Abbey Belgian Style Ale has taken her vows and joined the Dominion Brewing Pinup Series.

The first person to ever record the preservative powers of hops in brewing was a nun. In fact, during the Middle Ages, convents brewed beer right along with monasteries. While monks bask in all the glory these days, Abbey Belgian style ale hails the under-recognized brewers of our holiest beverage. With the help of Perle and Saaz Hops and Golden Promise, Vienna, Caramunich, and Peated malts, Abbey reaches 7.2% ABV.

Recipe designer, Brewer Justin Colatrella, stated, “Each time we brew one of our pinups, we try to put a unique twist on the way higher gravity beers are perceived. Each of our seasonal pinups has veiled the strength of the beer with strong esters. When creating Abbey, we wanted a strong yeast to offset the strong malt backbone. She makes a divine addition to our dynamic Pinup Series.”

Abbey Belgian Style Ale will replace Dominion’s award winning Candi Belgian Tripel in the Pinup variety 12-Pack and will be available on draft. This nun will be flying off shelves and taps in the Mid-Atlantic region during the Spring.
