Genesee Brewery’s Tropical Pineapple Kolsch Returns, Mixing it Up as Ruby Red Kolsch’s Perfect Combination Companion

by

ROCHESTER, New York— The Captain delivers… again! Tropical Pineapple Kolsch is now available in stores. Genesee Brewery’s Tropical Pineapple Kolsch celebrates its second year, after scoring the number one spot in the Brand-New Category in Upstate New York* in 2022. With its tropical pineapple flavor, this bright golden ale has quickly become the perfect companion to Genesee’s modern classic, Ruby Red Kolsch. Tropical Pineapple Kolsch is available in 12-packs of 12-ounce cans and on draft at select locations.

“When we launched Tropical Pineapple Kolsch, we worried that it would cannibalize sales of Ruby Red Kolsch. But the exact opposite happened,” said Inga Grote-Ebbs, Genesee brand director. “Fans purchased Tropical Pineapple Kolsch right alongside Ruby Red Kolsch, leading to the creation of a brand-new beer dubbed the “Captain’s Mix.”

After the launch of Tropical Pineapple Kolsch, Genesee fans started combining Tropical Pineapple and Ruby Red Kolsch to create what Genesee now calls the “Captain’s Mix.” Fans became their own brewmaster, combining both Kolsches into one glass. The amount of each Kolsch added is up to the individual, but the result is the same for everyone; a personally customized and balanced tropical summer beer.

The Genesee Brew House recently adopted the consumer trend. People can now try a “Captain’s Mix,” at the Brew House. While there, consumers can also pick up new Genesee Kolsch swag featuring the quirky, boat-loving, pipe-smoking captain. Tropical Pineapple Kolsch merchandise is available for purchase.

About Tropical Pineapple Kolsch

Tropical Pineapple Kolsch has a perfect addition of tropical pineapple flavor to complement this bright golden ale’s bready malt body and mild hop bitterness. In 19th century Germany, a new style of beer began to appear around the ports of Cologne. Inspired by our German brewing lineage, we set out to brew a new and just-as-refreshing companion to our modern classic, Ruby Red Kolsch. Prost!

Hi-Wire Brewing to Open Tiki Bar and Speakeasy in Asheville

by

ASHEVILLE, North Carolina— Hi-Wire Brewing, known for crafting unique and approachable craft beers, is excited to announce the opening of ‘The Tiki Easy Bar,’ a new tiki bar and speakeasy hidden behind Hi-Wire’s South Slope Specialty Brewery in Asheville, North Carolina. The tropical-themed bar is set to open to the public in July 2023.

“I have become obsessed with tiki bars and drinks since the Covid-19 pandemic began,” said Chris Frosaker, co-owner of Hi-Wire Brewing and the driving force behind Hi-Wire’s new concept. Frosaker continued, “Our world seems to be getting crazier every day, and I love the escapism a tiki bar provides, where you can enter a new world and forget about your day-to-day life with a strong drink in hand.” Combining this new passion with some newly-acquired space at the craft brewery’s original location, ‘The Tiki Easy Bar’ was born.

The Tiki Easy Bar aims to be Western North Carolina’s only true tiki bar, transporting visitors to an island oasis filled with danger, mystery, and lots of rum. Expect traditional tiki decor, one of the largest rum selections in the state, and a rotating tiki-only cocktail menu with more than thirty varieties of tiki drinks.

The speakeasy’s menu combines a slew of classic tiki cocktails, modern tiki drinks designed in-house, and a selection of island-inspired mocktails. Chris Frosaker’s go-to drink will, of course, make an appearance or two. “I am obsessed with the Mai Tai, which happens to be the most misunderstood and bastardized cocktail in history,” said Frosaker. To celebrate the co-owner’s passion for a proper Mai Tai, The Tiki Easy Bar will feature two Mai Tai options at all times, and every Monday, bartenders will experiment with rums from around the world paired with a variety of curacao liqueurs for the bar’s ‘Mai Tai Mondays.’

Hi-Wire Brewing is no stranger to opening new, fun-filled drinking establishments with soon-to-be eleven locations across the Southeast and Midwest dedicated to serving Hi-Wire’s award-winning craft beers. However, The Tiki Easy Bar will be unlike anything the brewery has done before with exotic jungle decor, tiki drink concoctions, and a secret entrance. “What is related, though, is one of our company’s non-negotiables of creating fun – The Tiki Easy Bar will definitely not be short on fun,” said Frosaker. With mesmerizing flames and occasional lightning and thunder, this Asheville oasis will transport thrill-seeking explorers to paradise and leave them filled with wonder and enticing island nectar.

The tiki bar will occupy a 2500-square-foot space through the back door of Hi-Wire’s South Slope Specialty Brewery, an area of the building that has not been previously open to the public. “We have operated our South Slope brewery as a specialty facility since 2016, making the bulk of our beer down the street at our Biltmore Village Production Brewery,” said Frosaker, “but when our landlord decided to retire last summer and offered us the chance to purchase the building where Hi-Wire first started ten years ago, it was a no brainer to cement our roots where it all began.”

To access The Tiki Easy Bar, guests must venture through tanks and barrels of the brewery until they uncover the secret passage which will lead them through the jungle to an island oasis beyond. There will not be an exterior sign on the building pointing the way, so only adventure-seekers and curious cocktail-lovers will discover the bar’s secrets hidden behind the brewery.

The Tiki Easy Bar is set to become one of the most innovative and exciting additions to the Asheville drinking scene, attracting visitors from around the region. The bar will open in the summer of 2023 and will be located at 197 Hilliard Ave, Asheville, N.C. Frosaker teased, “We’ve put a lot of thought and planning into every detail, from the decor to the drink menu, and we can’t wait for people to discover it for themselves.”

Construction of The Tiki Easy Bar has already begun.

Fibonacci Brewing Unveils Castanea No.9, The First of Its Kind Chestnut Beer

by

CINCINNATI, Ohio – Fibonacci Brewing Company is thrilled to announce the release of Castanea No.9, a beer born out of community gathering and a shared love of chestnuts.

Castanea No.9 is the result of a collaborative effort between head brewer Alex Rhinehart and the Southern Ohio Chestnut Company. During a planting party hosted by the company, Rhinehart struck up a conversation with chestnut grower and Route 9 Chesnut Cooperative member Amy Miller. They discussed the rich history of brewing with chestnuts and the potential for a revival of chestnut beers.

With the support of Rural Action and the Appalachian Staple Food Collaborative, Miller and Rhinehart set out to develop a unique chestnut beer. Castanea No.9 is the first in a line of chestnut-related brewing experiments, and it promises to be a hit among craft beer enthusiasts.

This brown ale is a testament to the power of community and the joy of sharing in the fruits of our labor. It is a celebration of the chestnut tree, which has a long history of bringing people together and providing community sustenance.

Alex says, “Bringing Castanea No. 9 to life with Route 9 Chestnut Coop and their community action partners has been a wonderful project. Amy and I first discussed brewing with chestnuts several years ago, and it is fulfilling to see that conversation come full circle. This unique chestnut beer is a tribute to the rich culinary and brewing history of the chestnut and a testament to the power of community. We hope beer lovers and friends can join us in enjoying our first beer brewed with chestnuts.”

Castanea No.9 is now available for purchase at Fibonacci Brewing Company’s taproom, located at 1445 Compton Road in Cincinnati, Ohio. We invite all beer lovers to come and enjoy this one-of-a-kind beer and to raise a glass to the spirit of community.

Tröegs Announces Return of Once-a-Year Perpetual Haze Hazy IPA

by

HERSHEY, Pennsylvania— Tröegs Independent Brewing announces the release of Perpetual Haze, a beer combining the clean, crisp bitterness of a West Coast IPA with the softness of a hazy.

Envisioned as a companion to the popular Perpetual IPA, Perpetual Haze was one of the first beers developed through the Hershey, PA, brewery’s “Scratch Lab”. Tröegs first introduced the 3-barrel Research and Development brewhouse in January 2020 as a launch pad for its 15-barrel small-batch Scratch brewhouse.

“We took the DNA of Perpetual IPA and made some slight changes to the malt,” explains Tröegs brewmaster and co-founding brother John Trogner. “The big differences are in the timing of the hops and a change in the yeast.”

In Perpetual Haze, later kettle hop additions and vigorous dry-hopping give way to fruitier flavors and aromas. Front and center are Citra and Cashmere, a hop combination that coaxes juicy notes of orange, passionfruit, and nectarine.

Weighing in a 7.5% ABV, Perpetual Haze is smooth, hazy, and pillowy soft thanks to London 3 yeast and a grain bill featuring a blend of malted barley and raw wheat.

Perpetual Haze Hazy IPA is available on draft and in 16-ounce cans across the brewery’s entire distribution footprint.

Additionally, look for 12-ounce cans of Perpetual Haze as part of the forthcoming Summer Better variety 15-pack, slated for an early May release.
