Stone Enjoy After 10.31.15

…Ideally, you’ll want to cellar the beer up to-or beyond-the Enjoy After date to help it reach its full evolutionary potential. At that point, some facets of the Brett characteristics will have mellowed, while others will have become more profound; it all matures into a fascinating and delicious culmination. Individual results will vary…and that’s both the beauty and the intent behind this beer.

Stone Enjoy After 10.31.15 is available in limited 750ml bottles.

Style: American Wild Ale
Availability: 750ml Bottles. Limited
Distribution Area: TBA

7% ABV, 88 IBUs

Terrapin Beer Co. (Athens, GA) is ready to ship their 3rd release in the Special Reserve Series, Imperial Pumpkin Porter.

A departure from the brewery’s other pumpkin offering, Pumpkinfest, Imperial Pumpkin Porter starts with a porter beer as a base. From there, the beer is then nuanced with a plethora of spices – nutmeg, clove, ginger, and of course, pumpkin. The result is what “Spike” calls, luscious.

Terrapin Imperial Pumpkin Porter follows inaugural release White Chocolate Moo-Hoo, and Cinnamon Roll’d W-n-B. In the video above, Spike discloses the next two offerings, MooHoo-ciato (chocolate milk porter with coffee), and French Toast Wake n Bake. (Think breakfast.) Those two will round out the Special Reserve Series in 2014.

There are about 10,000 bottles of Imperial Pumpkin Porter headed into the wild. Be on the lookout starting this week.

Style: Imperial Porter (w/ Pumpkin, Nutmeg, Cinnamon, Allspice, Ginger)

Availability: 22oz Bombers, Draft. Very Limited

9.2% ABV

Oskar Blues Brewery (CO/NC) is upping their nitro game with the addition of Oskar Blues Old Chub Nitro Cans.

Old Chub has been available on Nitro taps prior to this release. Nitro cans are a first for the craft beer in a can pioneer. Cans officially launch this week in Denver at the Craft Brewer’s Conference.  National distribution announcement to follow.

OLD CHUB NITRO utilizes an existing widget technology developed by Ball. The Nitro widget is attached to the bottom of the can and is charged with liquid nitrogen during the filling process. The widget releases the nitrogen when the can is opened, liberating the cascading creamy smooth nitro pour.

Oskar Blues first launched nitrogen infused versions of their beers in 2009, thanks to brewer Juice Drapeau. Offerings since have included Dale’s Pale Ale, G’Knight Red Ale, alongside a few small batch offerings.

16oz/4 pack cans launch Friday, April 11th.

This newest “gotta have it” from Westbrook Brewing in Charleston, SC is Siberian Black Magic Panther.

This imperial stout spent two full years aging in bourbon barrels. If it follows flavor suit alongside the rest of Westbrook’s barrel aged offerings, it’s worth fighting over.

This beer is as hairy as a Siberian…or as a panther. And you better believe it because It gets the black magic from sitting for two years in bourbon barrels. During those years It gathered its rage…a rage this mythical beast of an imperial stout wants to unleash on your taste buds.

Best served at 55 degrees In a tulip or snifter glass. This beer has already been aged for 2 years, don’t cellar It!
