SHEBOYGAN, Wis.– 3 Sheeps Brewing Co.’s new year-round beer boasts just enough bitterness to know it is an IPA without hitting the palate like a wrecking ball. 3 Sheeps Brewing Co. Pendulum IPA is brewed with a fresh fruit-forward blend of Cashmere and Rakau hops. Pendulum IPA boasts intense tropical flavors that meld perfectly with aromatic notes of apricot, papaya, grapefruit and melon, then finishes clean and mildly bitter.

Brewer Note: IPA tastes have swung from intensely bitter West Coast IPAs to the zero bitterness IPAs of the North East. Pendulum IPA adapts to the ever evolving flavor-profiles by incorporating the aspects of different IPA styles that the brewers love and smashing them into one stand-out beer. These new-to-the-brewery hops allowed the brewers to experiment with the unique flavors and aromas as they crafted this new year-round brew. The result is an IPA dripping with juicy fruit flavors that will resonate well with fans of the brewery. Pendulum IPA replaces First Kiss IIPA in the year-round lineup for 3 Sheeps.

LYNN, Mass. — Bent Water Brewing Co. has debuted the latest in their series of taproom exclusives, a New England-style IPA that is hopped entirely with BRU-1, a relatively new experimental hop from Yakima Valley. The beer also includes “Nor’East Gold”, New England’s first locally crafted drum-kilned malt, sourced from Stone Path Malt in Wareham, MA.

The beer, named Bru-1 IPA for the exclusive hop used during its brewing process, is a 6% ABV NEIPA that has notes of pineapple, stone fruit, black cherry, and spice.

“We were interested in trying BRU-1 based on what we’ve read about it,” said Adam Denny Golab, Head Brewer, Bent Water. “We brewed this batch to determine if we wanted to use BRU-1 for future beers, and we were really happy with how it came out. From what we can tell, it also plays nice with some other great IPA hops like El Dorado and Citra, so that could be fun to test.”

The beer’s grain bill includes Nor’east Gold, made by Stone Path Malt in Wareham, MA.

“Stone Path’s imported malts are in nearly all of our beers,” continued Golab. “Nor’East Gold is their only malt that is made right here in Massachusetts. We thought this would give customers something unique and homegrown from a great local partner.”

Bent Water’s Bru-1 is currently available on draft only at the Bent Water taproom.

MISSOULA, Mont. – KettleHouse Brewing Co. is reeling in the spring season with the new can release of Fish On!, a Juicy Montana Pale Ale bursting with notes of white grape, freshly cut pineapple, and zesty tangelo. Featuring a combination of three southern hemisphere hop varieties and a subtle yet sophisticated grain bill, KettleHouse has designed a crisp, easy-drinking beer with low bitterness and high drinkability. In response to increasing demand of Fish On! as a current draft exclusive, 16oz cans will be available in 4-packs throughout the KettleHouse distribution footprint beginning mid-March through the summer.

Living up to its name, Fish On! is brewed and packaged on the banks of the Blackfoot River at the KettleHouse Brewing Co. production facility and taproom in Bonner, MT. Located up in the canyon, surrounded by mountains and wildlife among the rush of the river, it is a natural fit for KettleHouse to continue its longstanding tradition of brewing beers to match the quality of the Montana outdoor experience. The Fish On! name is a fly fishing term used to when hooking a fish, a phrase often heard echoing off the canyon walls near the brewery.

“My dad taught me how to fly fish growing up. Through the sport, I learned to really appreciate the beauty of Montana and what it has to offer,” said Zach Nelson, KettleHouse head brewer. “Fly Fishing is one of Montana’s fastest growing and largest industries. There aren’t many places left in the world where you have this many rivers, lakes, streams, and creeks in such a concentrated area that also provides so much public access. There is nothing better than going out fishing all day and seeing only a few fellow participants while enjoying a KettleHouse beer. Our new Fish On! can was made to celebrate moments like these in the great outdoors.”

The Fish On! Catch and Release party featuring food and live music will take place riverside, at the KettleHouse Bonner taproom on March 13th at 5pm. More details about the event can be found on the KettleHouse Facebook Events page. Fish On! 4-packs will start hitting shelves outside of the KettleHouse taprooms in late March 2020.

POTTSTOWN, Pa. — Punk isn’t a music category, it’s a state of mind… Punk attitude can be injected into any endeavor. You see it all the time in business. Misfits who defy the industry standard carve out their own defiant path. They’re the ones you remember… the needle movers, the groundbreakers, the disrupters, the punks of the industry who advance and innovate.

1987: What a time to be alive!
Thirty-three years ago, a new wave was surging in music and the craft beer revolution’s pioneers were just getting started all around the country. In Pennsylvania, one of those revolutionaries was the first female brewmaster since prohibition—Carol Stoudt.

Stoudts Brewing Company, nestled in the quiet farmlands between Philadelphia’s northwestern suburbs and Lancaster, became a 30-barrel destination brewery including indoor and outdoor biergartens, a bakery, a cheese-making facility, and a 70,000 square foot antique mall. They were innovators in many respects, and brewers that followed learned from Carol Stoudt who, along with her supportive husband Ed, built a regional brewery based on German authenticity.

Throughout the years, Stoudts has been a friend in the brewing community, and Carol personally provided encouragement and tangible support to many startups including Sly Fox Brewing Company.

“The brewing community is full of great people,” reflects Sly Fox founder Pete Giannopoulos, “but Carol is a gem among gems.”

2020: The End of an Era
Earlier this month, Carol Stoudt announced her retirement. Stoudts Brewing Company will continue to brew beer for their restaurant, but friend and mentor Carol is officially out of the game.

“I did my part. Now it is up to the new generation to continue the tradition of innovation that defines craft beer.” she said

Under Carol’s leadership, Stoudts Brewing became synonymous with quality and is one of the most awarded craft breweries in the industry. Carol and her team at Stoudts brewed an impressive portfolio of beers in the time-tested German tradition of Reinheitsgebot, only using the purist minimal ingredients.

“Coming up as a craft brewery in the 90s, we looked up to Stoudts and admired their attention to detail and passion for the craft,” continued Pete Giannopoulos.

Tribute Collaboration
To celebrate Carol and the storied history that is Stoudts Brewing Company, Sly Fox recently collaborated with the Adamstown brewery on a special tribute beer.

“We teamed up with the original beer rebels at Stoudts to create a beer that bucks current trends and pays homage to the rich history of craft lagers in southeast PA spearheaded by Carol and her brewing family,” offers Tim Ohst, Sly Fox Brewing Company Director of Brewery Operations. “What’s more punk rock than a black lager in a simply labeled sixteen ounce can?”

Stoudts and Sly Fox drew upon years of lagering experience to develop the collaborative beer, a schwarzbier simply called Black Lager. Pouring a brilliant jet black thanks to additions of Midnight Wheat and de-husked roasted malts, this lager is balanced and crisp with an incredibly clean finish. These sessionable pounders come emblazoned with graphics paying homage to the punk spirit of yore.

Black Lager is currently available in kegs and cans throughout Pennsylvania and Maryland.

The Punks of Beer Tour
To celebrate and promote the release of the collaboration, the team booked a series of punk shows at some of their favorite live music venues known for championing craft beer. Line-ups at the energetic concerts– where Black Lager flows like London Calling into Brand New Cadillac– feature regional acts that still define the spirit of punk rock.

“In a world of mass-produced music and corporate IPAs, you can still find people pushing the envelope,” says Corey Reid, Sly Fox Sales Manager and veteran punk drummer.

Reid’s band Big Green Limousine is one of several on the Black Lager Punks of Beer Tour that has touched down at Johnny Brenda’s and Milkboy so far with stops at the Parks & Wreck Fest at Lancaster’s Chameleon Club and West Reading’s Nitro Bar still to come. Other bands on the dynamic bill have included Urinal Cake and Dead Belly.

If you make it to a show, chances are good that you’ll catch Carol Stoudt rocking out with the best of them, hoisting a Black Lager towards the stage.

About Sly Fox Brewing Company
Since the inaugural brew in 1995, Sly Fox has been dedicated to brewing a wide variety of the highest quality beers. Its critically acclaimed year-round lineup and highly anticipated seasonals are available at the brewpubs in Phoenixville and Pottstown and Taphouses in Malvern, Pittsburgh, Reading, and Wyomissing as well as top restaurants and retailers in PA, NJ, NY, MD, VA, and Washington, DC. Sly Fox was the first craft brewery in the mid-Atlantic to implement a canning line and with it, earned the first-ever Great American Beer Festival (GABF) medal awarded to a canned craft beer. Sly Fox has earned many GABF medals since and is widely recognized as among the region’s best and most enduring independent craft breweries.

CINCINNATI, OH – Braxton Brewing, a local brewery with national recognition, and Graeter’s Ice Cream, a family owned craft ice cream maker since 1870, are releasing a new innovation that brings two beloved Cincinnati brands together once again.

On Friday, February 28th, Graeter’s Black Cherry Chocolate Chip White Stout will be available at a tapping and release party at Braxton Brewing Co. Beginning March 2nd, consumers will also be able to purchase 16oz 4-packs of the limited edition beer in Kroger stores throughout Cincinnati, Northern Kentucky, Columbus, Dayton, Louisville and Lexington at an SRP of $13.99. This white stout continues the partnership between Graeter’s Ice Cream and Braxton Brewing Co., and ultimately speaks to the brands’ desire for innovation, collaboration and continued growth, celebrating the cities in which they have laid their foundations: Cincinnati and Covington.

Braxton’s Graeter’s Black Cherry Chocolate Chip White Stout is brewed to be a decadent dessert beer, crafted with notes of sweet black cherries, rich dark chocolate and an indulgent, medium-bodied white stout. Hailing flavors from Graeter’s iconic Black Cherry Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, the new innovation from Braxton is handcrafted to be reminiscent of one of America’s most memorable desserts: the chocolate covered cherry.

“It’s always a privilege for us to be able to lend our flavors and expertise to something as innovative and as fun as our collaborations with Braxton,” shares Bob Graeter, fourth-generation owner of Graeter’s Ice Cream. “This year’s Black Cherry Chocolate Chip White Stout is a welcome addition to our current Braxton-Graeter’s collection of innovations. We’re reaching new consumers, helping a new generation to taste and fall in love with French Pot-made ice cream, and it’s stretching our creative approach to fan favorites, overall.”

“From the first Black Raspberry Chocolate Chip Milk Stout we made with Graeter’s to today’s Black Cherry Chocolate Chip White Stout, we’re proud to be able to honor Graeter’s in our unique way,” shares Jake Rouse, Co-Founder and CEO of Braxton Brewing. “Graeter’s is such an iconic Cincinnati brand that we’ve loved transforming it into a beer consumers can really fall in love with.”

Braxton Brewing Co. will host a weekend release party in the Taproom in Covington, spanning from Friday morning, February 28th to Sunday, March 1st. Guests will be able to experience a donut popup shop by Graeter’s Ice Cream, ice cream sampling throughout the weekend, a special visit from the Cincinnati Zoo on Sunday, and 4-packs available for purchase all weekend long.

SAN DIEGO — Legacy San Diego brewery Karl Strauss Brewing Company celebrated its 31st anniversary earlier this month with the release of their Barrel Aged Scotch Ale.

KARL’s 31st Anniversary Ale is a traditional Scotch Ale aged for 12 months in American whiskey barrels. This 11% ABV beauty was the brainchild of Karl Strauss Head Brewer Sean Albrecht. “I wanted to brew a beer that could handle aging in fresh American whiskey barrels for an entire year.” he says. “This style is malty and strong, one of the closest beer styles to whiskey, with tons of caramel notes and a full body. This beer will get more complex the longer it sits— at proper cellar temperature of course— but it’s got a nice “heat” to it now that will remind you of your favorite whiskey, or even scotch.”

Karl Strauss Barrel-Aged 31st Anniversary Scotch Ale is available in 500mL bombers across California while supplies last.

2020 marks the 10th year of the Changing of the Barrels anniversary tradition at Karl Strauss in which the brewery invites guests to taste the following year’s anniversary ale before it lays to rest in barrels for the next year. The Karl Struass 32nd anniversary ale is a Coconut Imperial Stout that will age in whiskey barrels.

The Karl Strauss launch date, February 2nd, was named an official Day in History by Mayor Kevin Faulconer and the city of San Diego at the 2019 Changing of the Barrels celebration.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.– Known for being the only German-inspired brewery in Connecticut, East Rock Brewing Company is announcing the addition of Vienna Lager to its lineup of year-round offerings.

“When we looked at the market in Connecticut and our existing portfolio, we realized there was a gap in both” says Tim Wilson, East Rock’s co-founder and head brewer. “There are only a small number of breweries consistently brewing this style at a local level and it has been a fan favorite at the beer hall, especially outside of Oktoberfest season.”

Loved by beer enthusiasts and everyday drinkers alike, this crisp and easy-drinking amber lager achieves its rich and toasty notes of freshly baked bread from the use of imported Vienna malt from a multi-generational German maltster. Subtle hop aromas of freshly cut grass and spice bring this beer into balance, while its soft, natural carbonation lends a smooth dry finish.

Vienna Lager is now available in six pack, 1/6BBL, and 1/2BBL packages throughout parts of New Haven, Fairfield, Hartford, and Middlesex counties in Connecticut. Get it fresh!

About East Rock Brewing Company
East Rock uses time-honored methods and imported ingredients to produce pure and crisp German-inspired beer. Painfully slow to make but a pleasure to drink, its beers undergo a prolonged and labor-intensive fermentation, resulting in an uncommon depth of flavor and natural carbonation. Fresher than an import and more approachable than a typical craft, East Rock beers are designed for drinkability, but never at the expense of taste.

ASTORIA, Ore. — Fort George is less than a week away from releasing Fanzine IPA, their highly anticipated Spring seasonal collaboration with Grains of Wrath Brewery of Camas, WA.

In an ever hazier world, West Coast IPAs have nearly gone the way of the landline and fax machine. Fanzine IPA comes into focus as a crisp and clear collaboration between the Oregon and Washington breweries. The beer is characterized by a piney bitterness backed up by heavy hop additions with grapefruit and other citrus notes. Mild sweetness from the malt bill lingers with the taste of orange juice and a crisp, dry mouthfeel. A test batch of Fanzine took home the Gold at the 2020 Oregon Beer Awards for Best American IPA before it was officially released.

Brewed by Fort George head brewer Michal Frankowicz and Grains of Wrath’s Mike Hunsaker, Fanzine IPA is the result of a long-standing friendship, a couple pints and some whiskey. “Mike Hunsaker from G.O.W. and I met years ago at a hop conference when he was working for Fat Heads Brewery,” Frankowicz recalls. “We really enjoyed each others beers and had a blast hanging out. We ran into each other year after year and always talked about making a West Coast IPA together since it is our favorite style. When he started Grains of Wrath a couple years ago we really dug into trying to get a collaboration together.” With the inception of Fanzine and the desire for a West Coast IPA, Frankowicz knew it was the perfect opportunity to make an IPA together.

Beta 19.0 and 19.1, test batches of Fanzine, were released in early December for pub goers to try. Beta 19.1 reigned supreme and went on to win Gold at the 2020 Willamette Week Oregon Beer Awards just weeks ahead of its official release. Fort Georges Festival of Dark Arts also took home the gold for Best Beer Festival (as it has every year since the OBA’s inception) as well as Best Brewery in the coastal region.

As for the inspiration behind the name, Fort George Marketing Director Brian Bovenizer says “Fanzines are deeply rooted in the DIY ethos – fiercely independent, small run, self-published, xeroxed and stapled testaments to the object of a true fan’s reverence. Fort George’s first labeled Seasonal, Fanzine IPA, was intentionally designed to look like a paper zine comic and features the art of independent folk legend Michael Hurley, who’s art just so happens to be the subject of its’ own Fanzine.” Michael Hurley, now a local to the Astoria area, is an American Folk Singer, Cartoonist and Painter. A favorite of the Fort George team, Hurley is a regular performer on the Fort George block and had previously voiced interest in designing a can for the brewery. An inspiration behind the Fanzine series, Hurley’s art can be found on this year’s can.

Fanzine might not be the last you see from Fort George and Grains of Wrath. Mike Hunsaker, G.O.W Co-founder, says “I’m super happy to have finally made some beer with my buddy, Michal, and Fort George Brewery. I’ve been a fan of theirs and respect the beer that’s been coming out of there for years. I look forward to getting them out here to our place to brew something else soon.” The Fanzine series will return in 2021 with another brewery, another artist and a new recipe. You can try Fanzine IPA across the Northwest at one of the release parties listed below, or when it releases on the Fort George Block on February 29th.

ATLANTA, Ga. & VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. – In their continued exploration of new brewing realms, New Realm Brewing introduces its newest line of limited release beers: the Monsters & Myths Double IPA Series. Expect some new and some returning fan favorite recipes, as well as a whole lot of lupulin-loving exploration.

New Realm pays homage to Paul Bunyan’s faithful sidekick, Babe, with the first release in the Series, Hazy Like an Ox Hazy Double IPA. Brewed to be a larger-than-life version of the company’s Hazy Like A Fox Hazy IPA, this 9.0% ABV hazy and juicy DIPA features a beastly aromatic blend of orange, tangerine, and pineapple hop notes.

“Just like our Hazy Like a Fox, the ‘Ox’ is a double dry-hopped beer that’s got a pillow-soft mouthfeel and even more fruit character from its hopping additions,” said Mitch Steele Co-Founder and Brewmaster of New Realm Brewing. “We do the first dry hop early in the fermentation process which results in an intense orange juice flavor derived by our yeast interacting with the hops. We have already heard from our fans how much they enjoy Hazy Like A Fox and I believe they’ll love its big brother too.”

A former small batch brew, Hazy Like A Fox quickly became a mainstay on New Realm’s brewery tap list. Both ‘Fox’ and ‘Ox’ are brewed on-site at New Realm’s Atlanta Innovation Brewery, and both feature a blend of pale malt, oats, wheat, flaked barley and milk sugar for a creamy, soft mouthfeel. A double dry hop creates waves of pineapple and tangerine aromatics that complement soft, juicy orange and tangerine notes which delight the palate. To make Hazy Like An Ox a bit unique, the brewers added Idaho 7 hops to the mix to create another wave of flavor complexity.

This Hazy DIPA is now available for a limited time on draft and in 16oz 4 pack cans in New Realm’s Atlanta and Virginia Beach brewery to-go coolers, as well as your favorite retailers around Georgia and Virginia.

Style: Hazy Double India Pale Ale

Specs: 9% ABV / 50 IBUs
