CINCINNATI, Ohio —Fifty West Brewing Company, recently announced as one of the fastest growing small and independent craft breweries of 2018 by the Brewers Association (BA), will expand its brewing footprint with a new brewpub location on Route 50 in Chillicothe, Ohio. A grand opening is slated for late 2019, early 2020.

“Route 50 spans across the heart of the country from Ocean City, MD to Sacramento, CA. Our travels on this road gave us a sense of how America evolved and was built from coast to coast,” said Bobby Slattery, managing partner of Fifty West Brewing Company. “We had a dream that one day we could expand the Fifty West experience. This brewpub is the next step in bringing that vision to life.”

The ever-changing and competitive landscape of craft beer over the past decade has forced brewers to think about expansion with a nod to historical perspective. “Breweries in the late 1800s served as centerpieces for countless communities throughout the country,” Slattery continued. “Today’s breweries mirror their late counterparts as social centers, breathing life back into so many great towns across America.”

This shared history opened Slattery to communities on the rise located along the brewery’s namesake highway. “Route 50 took us to an amazing town in Chillicothe, Ohio and we fell in love. Chillicothe is a city rich in people and history, with many parallels to our core values including access to trails, rivers, and parks. We could not be more thrilled to be a part of this revitalization,” concluded Slattery.

This new project will be located on Route 50 at 1 N. Paint St. in the heart of downtown Chillicothe. The build out is estimated to cost around 2 million dollars and will provide up to 30 new jobs for the area.

“The city of Chillicothe is delighted to welcome Fifty West Brewing Company to our wonderful community,” said Mayor Luke Feeney. “We look forward to the brewpub on North Paint Street creating jobs, spurring continued economic development and revitalization downtown, and serving as a wonderful business for our residents to enjoy for years to come.”

LONGMONT, Colo. – It’s flocking here! Left Hand Brewing Company is introducing Flamingo Dreams Nitro, a year-round nitro beer that’s the first of its kind. Bursting with raspberries and blackcurrants and ready to jam, this berry blonde ale pours a striking pink. At 4.7 percent ABV, it is super smooth and refreshing with a berry burst, frisky zing and nitro glide that will bring out your vibrant side, especially poolside.

“When most people think about a great nitro beer, they tend to go the darker route with stouts and porters. Our brewing team saw the opportunity to innovate by creating a lighter, fruit-forward nitro beer that’s super smooth while at the same time refreshing and crushable,” said Jill Preston, director of marketing, Left Hand Brewing. “You can’t find another beer like this on the market. It will definitely make you think differently about nitro beers.”

Left Hand Brewing is a leader in nitro innovation and nitro experience. In 2011, Left Hand made history and pioneered the way for beer drinkers to enjoy a draft-like experience at home with the release of its flagship Milk Stout Nitro bottles and the hard pour. In 2017, Left Hand was back at it again with the first ever U.S. production run of a U.S-made nitro widget can from Ball Corporation. With the widget inside technology, nitro fans can take the beer on the go and drink a perfectly smooth and creamy Milk Stout Nitro right from the can.

Flamingo Dreams Nitro will be flying onto shelves and cascading from taps this month. Check out the flocking fabulous launch events Left Hand has planned across the country. In addition, Left Hand Brewing will be debuting a national, social media advertising campaign featuring an animated video that brings Flamingo Dreams Nitro to life.

Flamingo Dreams Nitro is now available in 4-pack and 6-pack (market dependent) 13.65 oz. cans and on draft. Check out our beer finder for Flamingo Dreams in your area.

Blindtiger achieved all of our goals, while creating a brand that will stand out,” states Furbacher.

MILTON, Del. – As the warm weather rolls in, Dogfish Head raises a can to toast the upcoming season’s SWEAT-sational activities with its Off-Centered Activity Box. A summer-centric variety 12pk of cans perfect for beer drinkers with active lifestyles and conscience consumption mindsets, the Off-Centered Activity Box includes a selection of four sessionable sippers, including two fan-favorites – SeaQuench Ale and Namaste White – and two new off-centered ales – SuperEIGHT and Slightly Mighty. The Off-Centered Activity Box also doubles as a functional cooler (just pop it open and add ice), making it easy to transport to any summertime occasion.

“Around every corner, a fresh and exciting experience awaits – a new trail to run, a new lake to stand-up paddleboard, a new road to pedal. All we have to do is go out and get after it,” said Sam Calagione, CEO and founder of Dogfish Head. “The Off-Centered Activity Box encourages folks to do just that. The definitive grab-and-go, beer-and-cooler experience, it offers active-lifestyle beer fans four intensely approachable, ultra-flavorful beers, all wrapped up in a water-resistant package that converts into a 100% recyclable cooler.”

Included in the Off-Centered Activity Box are three cans of each of the following beers:

NEW Release – Slightly Mighty – (4.0% ABV) A full-flavored, lo-cal IPA that is slight in calories and carbs, and mighty in hop character. Brewed with locally grown and malted barley and a touch of monk fruit to add body and flavor without adding any calories or carbs, Slightly Mighty has all the aroma and essence of a world class IPA, but with only 95 calories, 3.6g carbs, 1g protein and 0g fat per 12oz serving.

NEW Release – SuperEIGHT – (5.3% ABV) A super-refreshing Super Gose brewed with eight heroic ingredients, including prickly pear, mango, boysenberry, blackberry, raspberry, elderberry and kiwi juices, and a dash of toasted quinoa, as well as an ample addition of red Hawaiian sea salt. These unique ingredients give SuperEIGHT a vibrant red color, delicious flavors of berries and watermelon, and a tart yet refreshing finish.

SeaQuench Ale – (4.9% ABV) A mash-up of a Kolsch, Gose, and Berlinerweiss, this hybrid session sour is brewed with lime peel, black limes and sea salt. Objectively the most thirst-quenching beer Dogfish Head has ever brewed, it clocks in at 140 calories, 9g carbs, 2g protein and 0g fat per 12oz serving. Tart and refreshing with crisp flavors of lime, lightly bitter notes of black lime and a touch of salt on the tongue, SeaQuench Ale is currently the #1 selling sour beer in America.

Namaste White – (4.8% ABV) A zesty, Belgian-style Witbier brewed with dried orange flesh and peel, lemongrass, coriander, peppercorns and a dose of good karma. Chock full of aromas of citrus and clove, and more subtle hints of coriander, Namaste White offers a balance of citrus and sweet malt flavors, and slightly spicy finish.

Whether they are mowing the lawn or relaxing out on the boat, folks can pop the top on an Off-Centered Activity Box and celebrate the season with an ice-cold beer. All they have to do is tear open and unfold the box, add ice to the leak-resistant, wet-strength paperboard container and enjoy. The technology behind the Off-Centered Activity Box allows the carton to hold ice/water for up to six hours – enough time to complete a marathon or host one awesome backyard barbeque!

PONCHA SPRINGS, CO— In February, Elevation Beer Company hosted Athens, Georgia’s Terrapin Beer Co. for a conceptual collaboration brew that pays homage to the progression of the hop. The collaboration, Turtles All the Way Up, is now available in six packs and on draft while supplies last.

From classic Cascade to Cryo TM Idaho-7, whole leaf to extract, first wort to dry hop— this beer experiments with the progression of hop varieties and their form. With a pint of this IPA in your hand we hope you can “go and try and have some fun, showing warmth to everyone.”

During the 2018 Craft Brewers Conference in Nashville, with the reunion of two old industry buddies, live music, and a few beers, a collaboration was formulated,” explains Elevation Sales Manager, Adam Kimball. “This winter, Terrapin President Dustin Watts came out to visit family, ride in Crested Butte, and make this collaboration a reality— what better way to bring Terrapin and Elevation together than through the connection of family, mountain life, and beer? It was a long time coming, and with CBC right around the corner it’s great to see this release come full circle.”

“The name, Turtles All the Way Up was inspired by the philosophical question of the infinite regress, Turtles All the Way Down,  Sturgill Simpson, and an homage to Terrapin’s mascot,” explains Elevation’s Andy Astor. “We view Turtles All the Way Up as a progression instead of a regression, and wanted to demonstrate that with the different hops varieties used, their forms, and the phases of the brew during when they were use— all with progressions of their own.”

The four hop forms are a progression of the ingredient beginning at its most basic state of whole-leaf hops, to hop pellets, to a further modified liquid hop extract, and arriving at Cryo(tm) hops for the dry-hopping process. The hops themselves are also a progression starting with the all-time classic Cascade to the high alpha proprietary CTZ blend followed by juice bomb Mosaic variety and arriving at the tropical Idaho 7. This progression of hop varieties and forms are followed by a similar progression with the schedule— first wort, early kettle, late kettle and dry hopping additions.

This IPA is bright, with notes of pine, citrus, stone fruit, and gooseberry. Somewhat dry with solid malt backbone. Juicy enough for the present, resinous enough to reminisce upon.

Turtles All The Way Up will be available in canned 6-packs in Colorado and Wyoming while supplies last and is now available on draft at Elevation’s tasting room in Poncha Springs.

ALEXANDRIA, Va. — Port City Brewing Company has announced the first release of our Occasional Series in 2019 and the return of Ideaal Tripel. From the Flemish term meaning “quintessential orexemplary,” Ideaal (pronounced id-ay-all) is an 8.5 percent ABV traditional Belgian-style ale. The beer will be available on draft and in bottles starting with the Tasting Room Release Party on Friday, April 5.

“Last year’s response to Ideaal Tripel was so positive that we knew we had to bring it back,” said founder Bill Butcher. “With Optimal Wit (A Belgian-Style White Ale) as our best-selling beer and Tidings Ale (Strong Belgian Blonde) as one of our most popular limited release beers, Belgian styles are something our brewers excel at.”

Drawing inspiration from Belgium’s monastic brewing tradition, Ideaal Tripel is a golden-hued abbey ale with a dense cap of mousse-like foam. Subtly sweet pilsner malt and herbaceous noble hops leave room for expressive Belgian yeast character to shine. In the glass, fruity esters and peppery phenols mingle with a floral-herbal hop aroma, setting the stage for a deceptively dry body.

“Brewing Belgian beers is something I have always enjoyed,” said head vrewer Jonathan Reeves, “Optimal Wit is a great year-round Belgian-style and with Ideaal Tripel I wanted to offer a bigger, bolder Belgian style that beer drinkers can enjoy in the Spring.”

NORMAL, IL  – DESTIHL® Brewery is kicking off spring with two new, tropical inspired brands, WiLD Sour Series – PiñaColada Gose and Hawaii Five Ale.

If you like Piña Coladas, then you’re going to love this fun, refreshing take on our Leipzig-style Gose, which is brewed with pineapple and coconut for a tropical twist on the classic sour ale. The combination provides an added layer of sweet, fruity complexity to the brewery’s Gose that is already known for its tart, citrusy qualities while still balanced by French sea salt and hints of spice from added coriander. Piña Colada Gose is the second of four seasonal releases in 2019 as part of the WiLD Sour Series. These unique,kettle-soured beers utilize the brewery’s own culture of wild microflora originally harvested from the air in Central Illinois. This leads to truly distinctive and authentic sour, tart, fruity and floral characteristics in DESTIHL’s industry-changing WiLD Sour Series beers.

Hawaii Five Ale is a fruity and juicy blonde ale that will quickly transport your palate with a taste of paradise. Tropical flavors of pineapple, coconut, mango, peach and guava are balanced by smooth maltiness. One sip and you’ll be singing the song of the islands.

Piña Colada Gose and Hawaii Five Ale are available in draft and 12oz cans throughout DESTIHL’s distribution network this month. PiñaColada Gose will be available through June and Hawaii Five Ale through August. These brands are also available on tap and in cans at both DESTIHL Restaurant & Brew Works locations in Normal, IL and Champaign, IL as well as at the brewery Beer Hall in Normal, IL.
