Blushing Star Barrel Aged Pilsner is made with Maine grown Blushing Star Peaches from Kelly Farm. Available starting at 11 a.m. this Saturday, April 21, at the brewery and on tap at the bar at noon. This is the first release of our 2018 barrel aged series. Head brewer Greg Abbot shares some detail about Blushing Star below. This is a rare opportunity to have this level of insight about a new beer release.

Q: Where does the name come from?
The name comes from the specific variety of white peach. When I found out the name I knew I should call the beer this.

Q: What inspired you to brew this beer originally?
Aging clean lagers in barrels with wild yeast seemed like a really cool, unusual approach to barrel aged beer. The goal was to create pleasant, soft brett character and subtle oak presence to act as a background for the bright peach character to take the stage. I also read about a beer Tomme Arthur from The Lost Abbey made using a select barrel and white peaches, which he reportedly really enjoyed.

Q: Why peaches?
Peaches are great because they have tremendous aroma and flavor which lends itself to wild beer flavors.

Q: Are the peaches sourced from a specific farm?
Kelly Orchards in Acton, ME. I keep in touch with the owner Art Kelly throughout the year on how the trees are producing.

Q: What makes this beer special besides the accolades it has received?
It’s soft and balanced with bold peach character. Definitely a crowd pleaser.

We’re hoping to release a batch every 6 months moving forward, assuming we can get the peaches. This beer starts as a lager fermented cool in stainless tanks, then is transferred to barrels or our Foeder with brett for 6-9 months, then it’s transferred back to stainless onto the cut up peaches for 2-3 months, all before a minimum 4 weeks bottle conditioning time. Not an easy one to recreate!

TORRANCE, California — Smog City Brewing Company is celebrating their anniversary on April 28th with the release of their 2018 anniversary beer, Awkward Teenager. The 2018 anniversary beer is a super hoppy farmhouse ale with tropical fruit and is truly a unique beer that will be the perfect companion to the day’s festivities.

Awkward Teenager is a fruit forward Saison, brewed with guava and tangerine and dry-hopped with a generous amount of Citra and El Dorado hops to add that super hoppy bitterness and aromatics so many people crave. Awkward Teenager is an easy drinking beer, ringing in at 6% ABV, and is exceptionally food friendly. Smog City Brewing Co. strives to brew creatively inspired beers and this year’s anniversary beer is no exception. The name is a reference to where Smog City Brewing Co. feels its business is at this current moment in time – those awkward teenage years when your arms were too long and your feet too big. They look grown up but are still knocking things off tables and tripping over themselves, yet feeling the exhilaration of all that potential.

“Our anniversary beer is something we try to be pretty experimental with. We use it as an opportunity to do something fun and different,” said Jonathan Porter, owner/brewmaster of Smog City Brewing Co. “When figuring out what to make this year, I immediately thought of a Saison, which to me is the perfect beer style. The style hits on a lot of fruity notes and from there we thought, why not dry-hop it? With this brew, we were able to add layer upon layer of tropical fruit and hop flavors and aromas to make a unique, but truly Smog City beer. We make what we want to drink, but we also really want people to love it. Awkward Teenager gets the job done and we can’t wait to share it with everyone.”

Awkward Teenager will be released at 11am on April 28th during the Smog City Brewing Co. anniversary celebration. It will be available on draft at the Smog City Brewing taproom in Torrance and in 500ml bottles for purchase. The beer will be released at the Smog City Brewing Co. satellite taproom at SteelCraft and to a very limited number of on-premise accounts in the Los Angeles area after April 29th.

In addition to the anniversary celebration, there will be a series of pre-anniversary events held around Los Angeles to gear up for the party. These events will feature curated lists of Smog City beer, including rare finds. You’ll have to show up for the main event at the brewery on April 28th to get your hands on Awkward Teenager, however!

CAPE MAY, New Jersey — Cape May Brewing Company is pleased to announce the continuation of a seven-year partnership as the exclusive beer sponsor of the Exit Zero Jazz Festival, running April 20-22.

“Cape May Brewing Co. is proud to be the exclusive beer sponsor of the Exit Zero Jazz Festival,” said Cape May Brewing Company CEO, Ryan Krill. “For two weekends each year, the festival gets Cape May’s toes tapping to some of the best music around, and it allows us a chance to brew up a commemorative beer.”

This year, the brewery has devised a beer inspired by the popular cocktail known as a Moscow Mule. Characterized by the commingling of a strong ginger ale with muddled lime and mint in a copper mug, Cape May Brewing Company has replicated this in a Belgian-style ale called Harmonic Rhythm.

“We’ve been talking about doing a cocktail-inspired beer for a while now,” said CMBC Director of Brewing Operations Jimmy Valm. “And doing one for a classy time like the Exit Zero Jazz Festival seemed like the perfect fit! We wanted to do a cocktail that was well-known, and after brainstorming a few ideas and trying out some various cocktails, we decided that in beer-form the Moscow Mule would be the best bet.”

Cape May Brewing Company has been brewing the official beer of the Exit Zero Jazz Festival since 2014 with Sophisticated Lady.

“As much as we loved Sophisticated Lady, sometimes it’s time for a change,” said Head Brewer Brian Hink. “And this year, it just felt right to change things up! So, when trying to decide what kind of beer would replace Sophisticated Lady, it just made sense to go down the cocktail route.”

A hefty dose of freshly minced ginger added to the boil is in the forefront, garnished with a hint of fresh mint and the juices of lemon and lime rounding out the flavor profile — a gentle burn from the ginger pairs beautifully with its bright acidity, bringing together a harmonious marriage of flavors. With its relatively low ABV at 5.0%, Harmonic Rhythm is the perfect weekend sipper for the Exit Zero Jazz Festival.

The brewery will once again be sponsoring the Cape May Brewing Stage at Cabanas, hosting such acts as the High & Mighty Brass Band and Heather Gillis. In addition, Cape May Brewing Company has lent their name to the $58 Hops Pass. With his pass, revelers will get first-come, first-served entry to all of the club venues of the festival: Cabanas, Carney’s, Carney’s Other Room, Iron Pier Craft House, and the Rusty Nail, all of whom will be pouring CMBC brews, including the star of the festival: Harmonic Rhythm.

“We pride ourselves on accentuating what Cape May and South Jersey do best,” said festival organizer Michael Kline. “So this is an ideal collaboration. And the music happening on the Cape May Brewing Company Stage at Cabanas Beach Bar and Grill is going to blow the roof off. It’s a really great fit for the brewery.”

PACIFIC CITY, Oregon — There’s nothing quite like an early morning fog on the coast. The same can be said of Pelican’s new small batch masterpiece, Marine Layer Foggy IPA—born of a creative collaboration between Pelican’s Cannon Beach brewer Coren Tradd and The Bier Stein’s longtime beer buyer, Dave Stockhausen. The two popular craft beer leaders have innovated a delicious semi-hazy IPA which is on-tap now only at Pelican Brewing at Cannon Beach and The Bier Stein in Eugene—and only while the kegs last which could be just a few more days at The Bier Stein based on popularity!

“At The Bier Stein we are always looking for interesting, inventive beers you are just not going to find elsewhere so when this opportunity came up to co-brew with a talent like Coren at Pelican, it was a perfect opportunity for us,” says Stockhausen of The Bier Stein in Eugene, which boasts an 18-door cooler with over 1,000 bottles of beer from around the world and 30 taps with rotating drafts. “We had this idea to do a hazy or foggy IPA and I wanted to add the grapefruit to accentuate the stone fruit and tropical flavors. This recipe resulted in such a creamy and juicy IPA—I thank Pelican for a great collaboration and an educational experience.”

According to Tradd, Marine Layer Foggy IPA offers a light gold color with a slight fog and a thick white head. Aromas of grapefruit, sweet pine and ripe fruit combine for a flavor and aroma of mild malty sweetness. The new brew has a smooth, creamy mouthfeel along with a nice dry finish and a moderate level of bitterness balanced with its malty character.

The brewers combined two row malt, malted oats and malted white wheat with Meridian, Eukanot, Mosaic and El Dorado hops and Pelican’s house ale yeast for an ABV of 7% and IBU of 50.

While fog lingers, enter to win a brewing adventure at Pelican

While Marine Layer is on tap at The Bier Stein — possibly only a few more days based on its popularity, fellow fanatics can enter to win a ‘Brewers Getaway Weekend’ for two in Cannon Beach including a brew day with Coren Tradd and overnight lodging. Entry is open to passionate beer geeks only. Enter at The Bier Stein while Marine Layer is still on-tap—possibly just a few more days.

Like all Pelican beers, Marine Layer Foggy IPA is born at the beach by a team of award-winning craft beer makers known for brewing styles of beer that they themselves love to drink. Cheers!

San Diego, California – As part of its ongoing partnership with the Surfrider Foundation, Coronado Brewing is proud to announce a joint beach cleanup with Surfrider in celebration of Earth Day at the Ocean Beach Pier on Saturday, April 21. The public is invited to join Coronado Brewing and Surfrider, beginning at 9 a.m., to remove trash from the beach and waterways. While some supplies will be provided, the public is encouraged to bring reusable gloves, reusable bags and buckets, and reusable water bottles to cut down on waste.

In April of 2017, Coronado Brewing partnered with the Surfrider Foundation – the leading nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection and enjoyment of the coasts – with the launch of a new collaboration beer: CoastWise Session IPA. In line with Coronado’s brand mantra to ‘Stay Coastal,’ a portion of the proceeds from the sale of CoastWise support Surfrider’s mission to protect the ocean, waves and beaches.

“Our company is very proud of its coastal roots, and we’ve continually embraced and celebrated the coastal lifestyle since our founding 21 years ago on Coronado Island,” noted Brandon Richards, CEO, Coronado Brewing Company. “Our ongoing partnership with the Surfrider Foundation allows us to make a direct, positive impact on the ocean and coastlines that are a fundamental part of the lifestyle we enjoy and celebrate. We hope CoastWise inspires people to get out and enjoy our beaches, while simultaneously supporting their protection.”

CoastWise Session IPA is brewed with Mosaic hops, giving the beer bright tasting notes of citrus and tropical fruit, with a dry, bitter finish. The beer has made waves of late – winning this year’s National IPA competition in the “Session IPA” category. At a light-bodied 5 percent ABV, CoastWise is the perfect session beer, and the recyclable can makes it the ultimate beverage to enjoy outdoors this summer.

CoastWise is available year-round on draft and in six-pack cans throughout Coronado’s distribution network.

JOHNSON CITY, Tennessee — Yee-Haw Brewing Company is working with Green Man Brewing in Asheville, NC to create a limited edition, one time-only offering, Common Ground, to support The Appalachian Mountain Bike Club and the Pisgah Area Southeast Off Road Bicycling Association, according to Yee-Haw owner Joe Baker.

Common Ground will be available starting this week at locations in Johnson City, Knoxville and Chattanooga, Tenn. as well as Asheville, NC.

The beer, described as a 100% truly unique American Lager, is based on a ‘steam beer’ heritage as it was originally cooled in shallow fermenters by the cool Pacific air. The resulting effect was large amounts of steam caused by hot liquid meeting cool air. Originally brewed during the gold rush era in San Francisco, this offering uses Tennessee barley, malted in North Carolina by River Bend Malt as is believed to be the only steam beer brewed in the state at the moment.

Wes Soward, president of the AMBC reacted, “We’re thrilled to be partners of the Common Ground collaboration. The proceeds will go towards building five new miles of trails this year that will help us connect neighborhoods and schools while expanding Knoxville’s Urban Wilderness.”

Yee-Haw Brew Master Cris Ellenbecker added, “The fact that we get to come together with another local brewery to do what we both do best — make great tasting beer. I like getting to put the competition of the industry aside and have an opportunity for all of us to learn from each other to make the industry better as a whole. Everyone does things a little bit different and learning how they do things vs how we do things and vice versa helps strengthen all of us as brewers.”

About Yee-Haw Brewery Company
Founded in 2015, Yee-Haw Brewing Company is a craft brewery and taproom located in a historic railroad depot built in the late 1800s in Johnson City, Tennessee.

PORTLAND, Oregon — Portland Brewing Company unveils a brand refresh that takes their trailblazing beers to a whole new level. As industry pioneers and one of the first craft breweries in the Rose City, Portland Brewing’s new packaging and beer line up celebrates the city and the heart of craft brewing.

Portland Brewing’s company values reflect the city itself: original, solid, passionate, Portland. “Portland isn’t just in our name, it’s in our DNA. The brewery was born here, and the city helped raise us. We will always represent Portland, making original beer that’s a reflection of the city and the people who give the city its character,” said Robert Rentsch, General Manager of Portland Brewing.

The bold graphic “P” is not only a modern evolution of Portland Brewing Company’s original packaging, it also reflects the city itself, taking on the geographic layout of Portland. “The brand mark refers to some of the first signage created for the tap house in 1986 combined with the modern geometric design popular at that time. The stem of the “P” follows the path of the Willamette River as it runs through the center of the city, while border elements on the badge were inspired by Portland’s city flag. Our goal was to create something that not only reflected Portland Brewing’s history, but created a strong symbol for the brand in years to come,” said Sean Barrett, Creative Director at Studio Mega.

MacTarnahan’s, Portland Brewing’s flagship amber ale, as well as Portland IPA (renamed Ink & Roses IPA) are also getting a very special “Portland Originals” look of their own featuring a similarly double-lined border around a geometric rose; updating the unique spirit of Portland Brewing’s original line of “damn good” beers, while respecting the history behind the beer. The wrap-around labels of the “Portland Originals” remain inspired by the look and feel of the early labels, as well, with MacTarnahan’s in green tartan.

“Alongside the launch of this brand refresh, we are equally excited to give Ink & Roses an updated flavor-profile. The city has evolved over the years, but so has Portland’s palette! With Ink & Roses IPA new look we wanted to represent what our brewers are drinking today. In the new recipe we increased pale malts to bring out mouthwatering hop flavor, and then dry-hopped for increased floral and citrus flavors and aromas,” said Ryan Pappe, Head Brewer.

In order to celebrate what the city has to offer, Portland Brewing knows they need to look no further than the original creators, makers, and doers who make Portland what it is: a stage, canvas, kitchen, brewery for ORIGINALS practicing their craft.The brand refresh will roll out over the coming months with a series of pop-up events taking place in Portland’s unique and spirited neighborhoods. These pop-up events will include Portland Brewing-hosted happy hours at local businesses, art shows, beer festivals, summer after-parties, street festivals, and more!

Through this branding refresh, Portland Brewing aims to celebrate and connect with the creative spirit of the city through an ode to their history and a look into their future.

 ROSWELL, Georgia — To the Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. sustainability is not simply an initiative, it is integral to every aspect of its operations. The company has won numerous local, state and national awards for its efforts and its Chico, California, headquarters has onsite wastewater treatment and composting facilities as well as the largest solar installation of any craft brewer.

Sierra Nevada has taken another step in its sustainability journey – diverting thousands of pounds of nitrile gloves from its manufacturing waste stream through The RightCycle Program from Kimberly-Clark Professional. Since 2016, the company has diverted more than 6,800 pounds of gloves, equivalent to the weight of more than 450 bowling balls.

The RightCycle Program is the first large-scale recycling program for manufacturers and companies with non-hazardous lab, cleanroom and industrial waste. Since its launch in 2011, the program has diverted more than 500 tons of waste from landfills. As part of the program, used nitrile gloves and single-use apparel are sent to recyclers in the United States and turned into plastic pellets that are used to create new consumer goods such as flowerpots and lawn furniture, totes and storage bins.

“What’s cool about Kimberly-Clark and The RightCycle Program is they were the first to focus on this material,” said Mandi McKay, sustainability coordinator for Sierra Nevada’s Chico headquarters. “Nitrile gloves are not easily recycled. They can’t be comingled with other items. It has to be its own process.”

Sierra Nevada learned about the program from Lundberg Family Farms, an organic food producer that brought the program to its manufacturing facilities in 2015. When employees in Sierra Nevada’s Mills River, North Carolina, facility found out about The RightCycle Program they were so eager to pilot it that they began collecting gloves even before the program was implemented.

The reaction to the program throughout Sierra Nevada has been highly positive. “People think it’s great,” McKay said. “They like that we have an outlet for the gloves. They’re proud. It’s part of our culture, part of their daily job.”

And, she added, “It aligns with our company values. It makes sense for us, by contributing to a more positive environmental impact overall. We tend to pioneer a lot of things and I’m glad we’re part of a program like this.”

WINSTON-SALEM, North Carolina – Wake Forest Innovation Quarter and Wexford Science & Technology announced today the addition of Incendiary Brewing Co., a locally owned brewery and taproom as the newest tenant in Bailey Power Plant.

Incendiary will occupy approximately 6,200 square feet on the first floor of Bailey Power Plant, including a 2,000-sq. ft. taproom to showcase an impressive line of IPAs, barrel-aged beers and adjunct/spiced beers to go along with several classic styles. The brewery will occupy another 2,000 square feet of connected outdoor space in of the former power plant coal pit, providing additional seating and an open-air downtown vibe.

Construction in the space has begun and the company hopes to throw a grand opening bash Labor Day weekend. The brewery is expected to have around 10 new part-time and full-time employees.

Incendiary Brewing is owned by Winston-Salem natives Brandon Branscome and John Bacon, who began crafting their own homebrew together as a hobby in 1997. After a series of fits and starts, the two partnered together in 2013 to create a line of award-winning homebrews in their free time, bringing home first place in the 2016 Masters Championship of Amateur Brewing for their signature IPA, Shift.

John Priest, formerly of Bells Brewing in Kalamazoo, Mich., and former head brewer of Gibb’s Hundred in Greensboro will join Incendiary as brewmaster and operations manager. Priest has experienced national success on a professional stage with a Gold GABF medal in 2015 for his ESB (English Special Bitter) and Silver GABF in 2016 for his American Wheat Ale. Together, they will develop new beers to try each week while working to improve fan favorites.

“Incendiary will be a great addition to an already impressive lineup of breweries in Winston-Salem and the Piedmont Triad,” says Priest. “Opening a brand new location in the power plant across from Bailey Park with all the activity going on downtown brings a new level of excitement to this project, and I’m eager to get started.

The brewery will operate on a 15-barrel brewhouse from Deutsche Beverage in Charlotte and have nearly 150-barrel cellar capacity. They have also purchased a Wild Goose canning line and will offer several options to take and share Incendiary beer with friends and family.

“Incendiary is the perfect tenant to occupy this first floor space,” said Will Partin, senior director of development for Wexford Science & Technology. “As the Innovation Quarter community continues to grow, offerings like this that enhance the night life here will help continue growing the vibrant community we’re creating together.”

This is the fifth tenant announced for Bailey Power Plant, which opened in February of this year. Other tenants include Wake Forest Innovations, the commercialization arm of Wake Forest Baptist Medical Center; CML Microsystems, a local semiconductor manufacturing company; and Alma Mexicana, a restaurant which opened in January. Venture Café Winston-Salem also moved to Turbine Hall in the building last month.

Bailey Power Plant, which opened in February, features approximately 110,800 square feet space suitable for offices, entertainment, retail and meeting space. 9,000 square feet of commercial space is still available on the first floor, with 15,000 square feet available on the third floor.
