AleSmith Debuts Tropical Marmalade Hazy IPA

July 22, 2021 by Dustin Scoggins

SAN DIEGO, CA – AleSmith Brewing Company is brewing to beat the heat with the debut of a new limited-edition, seasonal beer, Tropical Marmalade Hazy IPA. The fresh addition to AleSmith’s limited-release line-up is available in select markets starting in July and will become more widely available from October through the end of 2021.

“We’re excited for Tropical Marmalade to make a return to our seasonal lineup,” says Ryan Crisp, Head Brewer and Director of Brewery Operations at AleSmith. “It was a staff favorite from 2019, so we had to bring it back. With the tropical hop blend and flavors, plus a smooth finish, this is a perfect beer to keep cool this summer.”

Aloha and Sabro hops give this glorious hazy India pale ale intense notes of coconut, red berries and mango. Tropical aromas evoke paradise on the palate, melding berry, floral, fruity and citrus notes from Aloha hops with distinct tangerine, coconut, tropical fruit and stone fruit notes from Sabro hops – a passionate marriage of complementary aromas inspired by the brew’s namesake spread – marmalade.

ABV: 7.1%

Crooked Hammock Releases Slate of New Summer Beers

July 21, 2021 by Dustin Scoggins

Crooked HammockLewes, De – There are few things better than spending a summer day in a hammock with a cold beer in your hand. Beer lovers will be delighted to know that Crooked Hammock Brewery has a lineup of new fresh and fruity summer beers to get you into the Hammock State of Mind.

Four new beers are out this month at Crooked Hammock Brewery and all of them are inspired by summer fruit favorites.

Pass the Sauce: Peach Cobbler is a fruited sour doused with juicy peaches and a handful of spices for a tart treat reminiscent of the classic southern summer dessert, peach cobbler. This ode to a decadent dessert is available at both of Crooked Hammock Brewery’s Delaware locations.

Pass the Sauce: Key LimeCheesecake is also inspired by a favorite summer treat. This “dessert-in-a-glass” combines milk sugar, our secret blend of graham cracker crust spices, and a zing of tart key lime for a creamy and smooth, yet refreshing, fruited sour brew. Guests at Crooked Hammock Brewery’s location in North Myrtle Beach, S.C., can purchase this dessert-inspired backyard sipper.

Recently released, Small World is brewed with over 100 lbs. of vanilla ice cream and ripe pineapple puree for a sweet, slightly tart summer-sipping-sensation. This sour is available for purchase now and will put a beery spin on a refreshing warm weather combination.

Coming out later this month, Shark Party is a deep red sour that celebrates the beloved predator of the sea. Bursting with flavor, this sour is aged on ripe raspberries and juicy blackberries creating a tart and bold beer dripping with complexity. Shark Party is available for presale (ends this Thursday at midnight) and will be released this Saturday, July 24th at all locations.

Those interested in learning more about the crafting of Crooked Hammock’s beers are invited to take a Crooked Brew Tour at the North Myrtle Beach, S.C., or Middletown, Del., locations. The brewery tours offer a laid-back expedition into the easy-drinking beers that are an integral part of creating a Hammock State of Mind. All tours feature a guided exploration of the brewery operations, and a tasting featuring several Crooked Hammock brews that delves into the stories behind each beer, as well as the process of creating them.

Beachwood Brewing Creates Limited Release “Chalkboard Series”

July 20, 2021 by Dustin Scoggins

Beachwood BrewingLONG BEACH, California – From day one, Beachwood Brewing’s rotating beer menus were written on small chalkboards, often artfully designed by customers and staff, and hung from behind the bar. It’s a tradition they continue at the original brewpub location in Long Beach. The chalkboard menus were conceived as a means to quickly update rapidly rotating beers on tap. In the same spirit, Beachwood has created the “Chalkboard Series,” a rotating selection of small-batch canned beers, available only at Beachwood’s own locations.

To kick things off, on Thursday July 22, the 1st limited series, Street 3, Block 2 will be released. This classic Beachwood Pale Ale is 100% full of simcoe hops.

Beachwood Brewing will continue to release limited runs of the Chalkboard Series.

Firestone Walker Releases Strata Hazy IPA

July 20, 2021 by Dustin Scoggins

Firestone WalkerPaso Robles, CA – Firestone Walker’s fascination with up-and-coming new hops continues with Strata Hazy IPA—the latest single-hop release from the brewery’s Propagator Series, available exclusively in the latest “Crafted Thru Hops” IPA mixed pack.

The “Crafted Thru Hops” mixed pack featuring Strata Hazy IPA rolls out to all Firestone Walker markets starting this week. It is also available at all Firestone Walker locations and via the brewery webstore at FirestoneBeer.com.

This new mixed pack—12 x 12-ounce cans—also includes three other hoppy beers from one of the nation’s foremost IPA brewers: Mind Haze, a hazy IPA done the Firestone way; the West Coast IPA legend known as Union Jack; and the latest release in the Luponic Distortion IPA rotating hop series.

Strata Hazy IPA: Limited Single-Hop Release

Strata originates from Oregon State University’s Aroma Hops Breeding Program in Corvallis, in partnership with Indie Hops. First bred in 2009, Strata excelled in a 9-acre test plot in 2015 and has come on strong in recent years, making it a fitting match for the Propagator Series. “Strata is distinguished by its unique melding of citrus, orange candy and passionfruit flavors with a signature Northwest dankness,” said Brewmaster Matt Brynildson. “It makes for a very full-flavored drinking experience.”

Mind Haze: Let Your Mind Wander

From the coast of California comes Mind Haze, a free-spirited beer made to elevate your perceptions—juicy, fresh and loaded with an imaginative array of tropical hop flavors. This is a hazy IPA done the Firestone way. Mind Haze is ultimately a beer that breaks the mold with explosive hop aromas, a luscious texture and enduring freshness.

Union Jack: Loud & Proud

Huge flavor that packs a punch. This is Union Jack—an icon of the West Coast IPA style, for those who like their beer loud and proud. Union Jack is the IPA that helped blaze the trail for the revolutionary West Coast style. Named for the British Lion who co­founded the brewery, Union Jack is intensely hoppy yet eminently drinkable from start to finish. A fad-proof IPA for any hop head.

Luponic Distortion: Flavors through Hops

No fruits. No flavorings. No shortcuts. Just the magic of 100 percent natural hops—this is the Luponic Distortion IPA rotating hop series. Each Luponic Distortion release features a new hop blend with a focus on emerging and experimental cultivars. Luponic Distortion No. 18 showcases a blend of four New Zealand-grown hops—Nectaron, Nelson, Motueka and Riwaka—for a uniquely fruity and complex flavor profile.

About Firestone Walker Brewing Company

Founded by brothers-in-law Adam Firestone and David Walker in 1996, Firestone Walker Brewing Company is a California beer company with three innovative brewing facilities. Firestone Walker’s main brewery in Paso Robles produces a diverse portfolio ranging from iconic pale ales to vintage barrel-aged beers.

Thirsty Monk’s Downtown Asheville Bar Reopens

July 18, 2021 by Dustin Scoggins

Thirsty Monks Delirium ASHEVILLE, NC – Thirsty Monk is beyond excited to announce both the reopening of our flagship Downtown Asheville location on July 21, 2021, and the introduction of our new “Delirium Bar” in the basement featuring the many iconic beers of Belgium’s Brewery Huyghe and Abbey Averbode. The “Delirium Bar” at Thirsty Monk will feature the world-renowned beers Delirium Tremens, Delirium Nocturnum, La Guillotine, and incredibly rare Belgian rotating offerings unique to Asheville, along with Thirsty Monk Brewery’s Belgian style beers and cocktail-inspired Holy Water Hard Seltzers.

Downtown Asheville visitors can look forward to a fun European pub atmosphere with eclectic decor highlighting the Monk’s own Asheville roots and tarot influence, and a festive splash of Belgian humor in the lower-level bar, whose namesake is an homage to the iconic Belgian pink elephant.

“What a freaking year it has been,” says Thirsty Monk CEO Barry Bialik. “Since the world was essentially put on ice back in mid-March 2020, Thirsty Monk has had to completely reinvent itself as a diverse modern beverage company. Our focus has been on improving our award-winning Belgian style beers and doubling down on our Holy Water Hard Seltzers.”

Thirsty Monk Downtown Asheville will reopen its famed multistory craft beer and cocktail taproom in the heart of Downtown Asheville with increased focus as a premier destination with three unique experiences in one building. Top of The Monk, one of Asheville’s most beloved craft cocktail bars will continue to offer some of the finest tipples in town curated by long-term manager Kala Brooks, who has assumed the role of General Manager. Thirsty Monk Brewery’s Patton Ave. Taproom will feature a full lineup of the brewery’s Belgian-Rooted Modern Ales, along with the Holy Water Hard Seltzer lineup and classic pub cocktails curated by Brooks. The new Delirium Bar will be the place to experience some of the finest Belgian beers in the world, perfectly poured in a true Old World setting, surrounded by a medley of monks and elephants.

With more than a year of downtime, Thirsty Monk has had the opportunity to completely freshen up its landmark 120-year-old Downtown Asheville building with cosmetic and functional upgrades. “The Downtown Monk looks better than it ever has,” says Bialik, “and our freshly refinished century-old wood floors are like brand new white sneakers just waiting for our fun-loving patrons to spill a little beer on. We can’t wait to serve our Asheville friends and visitors once again.”

In addition to the company’s alcoholic beverage focus, Thirsty Monk has opened up two quick service food locations over the past year: Tasty Greens, a Design-Your-Own Salad and Grain Bowl restaurant in Biltmore Park, and Holy Water Sushi and Hard Seltzer Brewpub, Asheville’s first Hard Seltzer Taproom, featuring hand-crafted sushi rolls in South Asheville’s Gerber Village.

In addition to supporting the mission of the Pink Boots Society, Flying Dog is also taking the opportunity to honor the success of women locally during Frederick County’s upcoming S.H.E Week. Flying Dog will sponsor the final celebration of the week of events, which recognizes the Strength, Heart and Equality of women in Frederick County, and provide additional event support and giveaways as needed.

Victress will be sold in 6-packs of 12oz bottles. In addition to Maryland retailers, Victress will be available at select retailers in VA, NY, PA, DC, OH, WV, NC, DE, KY, WI, CO. Consumers are encouraged to visit the brewery’s Beer Finder to locate inventory near them: flyingdog.com/beer-finder.
