Richmond, CA – East Brother Beer Company is excited to announce the release of two flagship beers, Bo Pils and Gold IPA, in a towering new format: 19.2oz cans! The larger format cans, also known as “stovepipes”, are an exciting addition to the brewery’s lineup of classic, easy-drinking beers.
With the release of 19.2oz cans, East Brother Beer Co. answers the call from many convenience stores, music venues, and sports stadiums asking for a larger can. The new stovepipe cans offer more beer, meaning fewer trips to the concession stand, are easier to hold as you maneuver your way around a music festival, and will keep your beer in place when you are shoulder to shoulder with a crowd cheering on your favorite team.

Stovepipe cans are about a beer and a half in size, so their grab-and-go feature offers the ideal sampling opportunity for those who might be new to the brand.

About East Brother Beer Company

In searching for a brewery home, Chris Coomber and Rob Lightner were drawn to Richmond and to East Brother Island, the harbor island that is the company’s namesake. The city’s industrious spirit coupled with the rich history of East Brother’s safe harbor serve as inspiration for the classic American character that’s at the heart of East Brother Beer Company.

With attention to detail and long-term vision, East Brother Beer Company is dedicated to producing beers that are both timeless, and timely, for the classic American palate, delivering their quality beers to premium local restaurants, bars, specialty markets and retailers.

Longmont, CO –  Oskar Blues Brewery announces the release of Hazy Blues Juicy IPA (7.0% ABV), a hopped-up, hazed-out homage to rowdy juke joints and jumping jive roadhouses. Hazy Blues features Citra, Galaxy, and Strata hops to get your tastebuds moving and grooving and is available now nationwide on draft, in single serve 19.2 oz cans, and in 6-packs of 12 oz. cans.

Oskar Blues Brewery began in 1997 as a Cajun-inspired restaurant and blues-soaked music venue in Lyons, Colorado. The hazy basement stage was graced by the likes of Pinetop Perkins, Bob Margolin, and Joe Louis Walker while thirsty dancers sipped Rocky Mountain-brewed craft beer from the nearby brewhouse. Live music fueled the early years and remains a constant today at Oskar Blues taprooms in Colorado, North Carolina, and Texas.

“Getting down to a funky jam while crushing a well-crafted beer at the end of a work week – that’s the vibe we grew out of,” said Oskar Blues Senior Marketing Manager Aaron Baker. “Foggy stages, clinking glassware, moving feet – Hazy Blues Juicy IPA is the beer for those times. It’s hopped-up and juicy enough to keep both the band and the crowd stoked.”

Hazy Blues Juicy IPA is the haziest nationally distributed IPA Oskar Blues Brewery has produced to date. A trio of fruity and juicy hop varieties turn up the flavors of passionfruit, strawberries, citrus and peach. The pillowy mouthfeel in Hazy Blues is smooth and easy like the best rhythm sections allowing hops to take the lead.

DURANGO, CO — This holiday season, Ska Brewing will give grown ups a drinkable version of their favorite childhood holiday memories with the release of Peppermint Bark Stout. This Milk Stout, made with peppermint bark from Durango’s local Animas Chocolate Company™, debuts at the brewery World Headquarters on Friday, November 4.

This new release marks a decade of Ska Brewing’s seasonal Stout experimentation– which has included Hibernal Vinifera, Autumnal Molé, Estival Cream, and Vernal Minthe Stout. The brewery’s highly decorated Steel Toe Stout dates back even longer, and holds medals in all of the major global beer competitions, including the Great American Beer Festival®, World Beer Cup, Stockholm Beer and Whiskey Festival, European Beer Star, and the Australian International Beer Awards, among others. It goes without saying that Ska is all in on Stout.

Now Ska’s research and development on Milk Stout style yields a new expression of the style that will hit shelves in perfect timing for Peppermint Bark Day on December 1, and holiday festivities in general.

Peppermint bark was invented by Williams Sonoma in 1998. “Turns out we opened the brewery before peppermint bark was officially a thing, but the chocolate and candy cane combination goes back as long as most of us can remember,” says Ska Brewing Co-Founder and CEO Dave Thibodeau. “Doing R&D for this holiday ale brought home much nostalgia.”

Peppermint Bark Stout will be available exclusively in Colorado in extremely limited quantities while supplies last. Find it on tap at Ska Brewing, and in canned, 12 oz. 4-packs that include a QR code linked to a playlist of Thibodeau’s favorite holiday jingles. This beer will be the first from Ska to be packaged with paperboard rings, supporting the brewery’s long-term effort to eliminate all plastic. Come spring of 2023, all of Ska’s beers will be packaged with these can holders.

LONDON, UK – This Dry January, don’t settle for tasteless non-alcoholic drinks.

Priced at £1.60 and £2 per 330ml can, they’re available to purchase via the Beavertown webshop.

A heavyweight name for a featherweight beer, Lazer Crush has been expertly brewed with a new type of yeast to provide its delicious fruity flavour, with only 0.3% ABV created during fermentation.

Boasting a crisp and mildly malty base followed by a wave of fruity undertones, Lazer Crush is perfectly balanced and topped with subtle notes of pine for that ultimate fresh taste. From mango and the sweet orange flavour of Amarillo to zesty citrus and grapefruit bitterness, Lazer Crush is the perfect drink for a rocket-fueled Dry January.

Lager lover? Fear not, Beavertown has got you covered with its first-ever alcohol-free lager Astro-nought. With a 0.5% ABV, this light and refreshing lager offers a clean flavour with a hint of lime freshness and a crushably light cereal character – the perfect thirst quencher for any spacewalk, space-run or space-sit-down. Available at £2 per can on the Beavertown webshop here.

If you’re not planning on taking part in Dry January but fancy something a bit lighter, Nanobot is the beer for you. This light, crisp, 2.8% ABV, 86 calorie can packs flavours and aromas of hoppy citrus and pineapple. It’s low ABV and low calorie but uncompromising on flavour.

About Beavertown 

Beavertown is dedicated to crafting high-quality, innovative beers like Gamma Ray APA or Neck Oil SIPA that appeal to the thirsty masses, as well as more experimental brews from our Tempus Project. From brewing to branding, we believe in creativity in everything we do.

At Beavertown, we believe beer is more than just a beer, it’s an experience. That’s why we host weekly Saturday taprooms to give people the chance to taste our carefully crafted beer in its natural habitat, our own Tottenham brewery.

Now 10 years old, Beavertown began life on a 650L kit in a BBQ joint in Haggerston. The brewery in Tottenham Hale produces 5500L batches (or 9,000,000 pints a year) and our new home in Enfield – Beaverworld – will allow Beavertown to produce ten times this, a staggering 90,000,000 pints a year.

The official craft beer of Tottenham Hotspur F.C., you can enjoy a crisp pint of your favourite Beavertown brew in our new taproom and microbrewery inside the stadium – the first of its kind.

In 2021, Beavertown opened the doors to its first-ever pub, Corner Pin, at the brewery’s home in Tottenham. Popping with vibrant blasts of colour, iconic Beavertown designs and with a menu featuring the whole range of Beavertown’s out-of-this-world beers, Corner Pin encompasses everything that makes the brand unique, bringing all of its creativity and curiosity to the new north London location.
