BEND, OREGON – Deschutes Brewery and Bendistillery’s Crater Lake Spirits today announced the exclusive release of a single barrel cask strength Black Butte Whiskey. A limited special edition true American malt whiskey distilled from the wash of Deschutes Brewery’s famed Black Butte Porter and aged in new char #4 American White Oak barrels. The resulting spirit is a 125.8-proof balanced, yet profoundly complex whiskey featuring strong notes of sweet dark caramel, warm bread, and intense vanilla.  The rich ambered honey appearance is validated by surprisingly sweet and candied almond notes on the palate that evolves into a rich texture with new oak notes and molasses finish. Subtle cocoa and warming spices arise from the porter.

This cask strength debut will be accompanied by the annual release of the original 5-year-old, 94-proof Black Butte Whiskey.

Since its original release, Black Butte Whiskey has gained outstanding national acclaim, most recently Best of Show at Sunset Magazine’s International Spirits Competition with 98 points, and was named Best American Craft Luxury Whiskey by Sunset.

The idea for this unique collaboration between craft brewery and distillery was born over a pint at the original Deschutes Brewery Public House over a decade ago in downtown, Bend, Oregon. Brewed with an artisanal selection of specialty malts and then double-distilled and aged for 5 years in new char #4 American White Oak barrels, the original Black Butte Whiskey is a 94-proof whiskey that retains the malty, chocolatey notes of Black Butte Porter and finishes with a soft, nearly sweet, character.

Bottles of the rare cask strength single barrel whiskey will be available for sale to the public starting Friday, November 25th for “Black Butte Friday” at Crater Lake Spirits Downtown Tasting Room located at 1024 NW Bond Street. A release party will coincide next door at Deschutes Brewery’s pub featuring sample pours and food pairings. Bottle sales will be available at select Oregon liquor stores starting in December.

PASO ROBLES, California – Firestone Walker unveiled “XXVI”—the latest edition of its storied Anniversary Ale, blended once again with the help of local winemakers.

“We’re talking about a ‘who’s who’ of Paso Robles winemakers,” said Brewmaster Matt Brynildson. “We’re fortunate to call them our neighbors and friends, and they never disappoint when it comes to our annual blending session.”

The result this year is XXVI—a masterwork of flavor and complexity, blended from six distinct ales aged in bourbon and brandy barrels, marking the brewery’s 26th anniversary.

“This latest Anniversary Ale is just super delicious and refined,” Brynildson said. “It’s driven by two barrel-aged stouts, but it’s much more than that. It has this perfect balancing point with a lot of spirits barrel character, and there’s an underlying freshness that elevates the mouthfeel.”

XXVI is rolling out now in limited quantities to all Firestone Walker markets, and is available at each brewery location and online at FirestoneBeer.com for a limited time.

An Annual Rite

Firestone Walker’s collaboration with local winemakers dates back to 2006, when Brynildson was tasked with creating the inaugural Anniversary Ale to mark the brewery’s 10th anniversary year.

“It’s a tall order to blend all of these distinct beers into a harmonious whole,” Brynildson said. “That’s why we bring in the winemakers—they are practicing experts in the art of blending.”

This year’s blending session marked the 17th occasion of this annual summer rite. As always, the winemakers broke into teams to create their own candidate blends from a variety of barrel-aged components. “We offered up a perfect spectrum of beers to choose

Next, the winemakers and brewers blind tasted all of the candidate blends, then voted as a group to crown the winner that would become XXVI.

XXVI: The Final Blend

“It was nice to have our classic Bravo brown ale back in the mix as a complement to our Parabola and Velvet Merkin stouts,” Brynildson said. “Heavy Things contributed a subtle dimension of brandy barrel character. Finally, Helldorado and Wheat Wine added a splash of freshness to the beer.”

RICHMOND, Virginia – Hardywood Park Craft Brewery is partnering with the Virginia National Guard Historical Foundation for a special release in time for Veterans Day. Ever Forward American Lager is a tribute to the thousands of soldiers and airmen of the Virginia National Guard.

During WWI, the Virginia-based 116th Infantry Regiment coined the phrase “Ever Forward” as a rallying cry during the fierce battle of the Meuse-Argonne. It has since become a touchpoint for National Guard soldiers across the Commonwealth. Hardywood is excited to create this opportunity to raise a glass to those who have served the state and the country with this exclusive beer. “Our focus at Hardywood has always been on Virginia, from the folks who join us in the taproom to the farmers we source ingredients from, so this seemed like a great partnership that builds on our strong Virginia foundation,” said Hardywood President Kate Lee.

The beer itself is a classic American craft lager, made with Virginia-grown and malted 2-row barley from Charlottesville’s Murphy and Rude Malting Company. This crisp and delicious craft beverage is a perfect way to celebrate over 400 years of service.

“We’re thrilled to partner up with Hardywood for the release of Ever Forward American Lager” says Jake Crocker, Executive Director of the Virginia National Guard Historical Foundation. “We’re excited to highlight four centuries of Virginia’s citizen soldiers while raising awareness of our foundation’s upcoming initiatives, including the Museum of The Virginia National Guard,” continued Crocker. Ever Forward will be released in time for Veterans Day on November 11th, with a release party in conjunction with the National Guard and the 116th Infantry Regiment on Friday, November 11th at the Hardywood West Creek location from 5-8pm.

He brings the heat and always finishes the job.

IPSWICH, SUFFOLK, UK – UK-based and award-winning non-alcoholic brewer, Big Drop, has partnered with DESTIHL Brewery to scale-up production and to handle sales for Big Drop to meet the increasing demand for its beers in the USA. This move presents a large growth opportunity for Big Drop as DESTIHL distributes to almost 40 States from its 47,000 sq. ft. brewery facility in Normal, Illinois.

With Big Drop approaching its second birthday in the U.S. market, this new partnership is one of the most significant developments in the NA-only brewer’s six-year history. Big Drop has already broken new ground in the NA beer category by winning international accolades and multiple global beer awards, as well as the Holy Grail of any NA drink: beating full-strength rivals in blind tastings*. Its core range is currently available to buy at retailers in six States (Illinois, Michigan, Minneapolis, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and New Hampshire) and online nationwide via Better Rhodes, but the availability will be greatly expanded soon under this deal.

This joint venture with DESTIHL provides a one-stop solution for Big Drop as not only does DESTIHL have an outstanding track record in brewing, having won several GABF, FoBAB and other awards over the years*, but it also boasts large-scale, efficient and quality brewing and packaging capabilities. Its innovative brewing methods and established routes to market will allow Big Drop to act with agility in response to growing and seasonal demand for NA beers, especially in the run-up to Dry January, which this year saw 1 in 5 U.S. adults taking a break from alcohol**.

According to IWSR, the NA beer category now has a 3.5% volume share of the total alcohol sector with global NA beverage sales worth $10 billion in 2021 and forecasted to grow by 8% compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) to 2025, compared to only 0.7% growth for the standard alcohol industry. Some reports are predicting global sales will reach $23 billion annually by 2025***.

Speaking about the move, Big Drop Founder, Rob Fink, commented: “Most people recognize that demand for good quality non-alcoholic beer in the USA is growing exponentially and that offering drinkers a complete choice of brands and styles, wherever they shop, is key to feeding that demand. Big Drop is already part of the solution, and by partnering with DESTIHL, we’ll not only be able to continue producing the best beer possible but have the sales platform from which to expand into more States.”

DESTIHL’s CEO and Co-Founder, Matt Potts, added: “We are very excited about partnering with Big Drop to produce and sell their great beers and entering the non-alcoholic beer space with such an internationally proven, high-quality product made by traditional means that we know so well. Adding Big Drop’s NA beers to our wide distribution footprint and sales portfolio will be a great opportunity for DESTIHL, Big Drop and our distribution and retail partners alike.”

Vista, CA & Nampa, ID – Mother Earth began shipping out the latest release in its rotating Hazy IPA series this week. Static Profile follows a similar formula as its Project X predecessors by putting the focus on the can art and supporting it with a well balanced, yet fresh take, on the series’ style.

“Static Profile leans heavily on stone fruit flavors and aroma thanks, partially, to Rakau – A hop with solid street cred and really good performance in our trials. With support from tried-and-true varietals like Mosaic and Citra, this beer explodes up front with stone fruit: Peach, apricot, plum, and pear are really at the forefront of the flavor and aroma with tropical mango and a bit of citrus coming through as well. As with a lot of our Hazies, you aren’t going to get a murk-bomb, but rather something that falls right in between Murky and unfiltered. Balance is key.” – Chris Baker – Director of Brewing Ops, Mother Earth Brew Co.

For the artwork, Mother Earth teamed up with California painter and muralist, Micah Black. The Chico-based mixed media artist is known for his large-format paintings in urban settings as well as his exhibitions at art galleries & shows.

Static Profile will be available beginning this Friday at Mother Earth’s Idaho tasting rooms in Boise and Nampa, and will go out to distribution throughout the month of November in 16oz cans and on draft.

A one-of-a-kind luminous beer bursting with lemon, lime – and slime – is set to shine this spooky season in a unique can that turns bright under UV light.

With Halloween edging near, Vault City, Scotland’s wizards of sour beer, have once again chucked their crazy ideas into the cauldron of creativity to come up with a dastardly drink set to give you ‘gosebumps’ this October.

And as autumn leaves start to fall, a Starbucks staple will arrive in beautiful beer form, converting all coffee connoisseurs to the world of craft brewing with the introduction of the classic Pumpkin Latte – with the added bonus of sweet blueberry.

Never shy in giving things a try, Vault City have previously brought us breakfast waffles and wagon wheel-inspired beers, but now something entirely new is set to creep out of the shadows.

Gose, a fermented sour beer from the German town of Goslar, was previously deemed extinct after its demise in the 1960s, however in recent years it’s made a remarkable comeback, and is currently one of the most talked-about beers on the craft scene.

And Vault City is ensuring it’s very much back from the dead this Halloween, with Edinburgh’s expert brewers being inspired to bring us luminous green Gosebumps – Lemon & Slime.

What’s more, the distinctive can will come fully to life under a UV light, making it the perfect Halloween party trick and treat this year.

Meanwhile, as the winter chills set in, beer fans will be warmed by a Blueberry Pumpkin Spice Latte release, brimming with beautiful notes of cinnamon, nutmeg and ginger among mountains of blueberries.

Vault City’s founder and fan of all things Halloween, Steven Smith-Hay, said: “We don’t take ourselves too seriously here at Vault City, but we are serious about good beer, so Halloween is the perfect chance to try something fun that still tastes amazing.

“As most of our customers know, the team have always got their creative hats on and we like to come up with things a little off-the-wall, but we’ve been planning this one since Spring.

“This year we’ve gone a step further by resurrecting gose beer with a unique lemon and lime luminous brew that will certainly catch your eye – especially under UV light – at Halloween parties across the country.

“We’re also very aware that alongside Halloween it’s now the as-celebrated pumpkin latte season. And this year, we’re going to give a certain Seattle coffee chain a run for its money with our blueberry-inspired pumpkin latte brew.”

The Portobello-based brewer is always producing new flavours, with Gosebumps – Lemon & Slime and Blueberry Pumpkin Latte available this autumn. Other beers you should sample this month include Strawberry Woo Woo and a Blackcurrant Chocolate Chip Waffle-inspired brew.

The autumn additions are the latest in a long-line of innovative flavoured beers produced by the company, with previous varieties including Fruits of the Forest triple stacked breakfast waffle, Pineapple Upside Down Cake and Raspberry Coconut Ripple.

Earlier this year, the company’s first-ever core range was launched across 200 independent bars, pubs and taprooms across the UK. Now available in more than 600 Tesco stores nationwide, it recently became the supermarket giant’s best-selling craft beer.

Vault City received widespread attention when it announced its 15-strong team across its brewery in Portobello, bottle shop and taproom in Haymarket had permanently moved to a four-day work week.

In 2022 they’ve also invested an additional £600k to expand operations to meet demand.

Gosebumps – Lemon & Slime is priced at £4.95, while the Blueberry Pumpkin Spiced Latte is priced at £8.95.
