Highland Debuts New Spring Seasonal – Berryful Fruited Ale

by

ASHEVILLE, North Carolina – North Carolina’s largest native brewer is announcing the release of Berryful – a fruited ale with tart blueberries. It is the latest addition to Highland brewery’s seasonal lineup and is available now in 6-packs across Highland’s Southeastern distribution footprint.

Shane Cummings, Highland’s Innovation Brewing Manager said, “Berryful is a clean and tart blueberry fruited ale. We highlight this beer with an abundance of blueberries to saturate the palate with ripe blueberry notes. Wine-like and succinct.”

At 5% ABV, Berryful is refreshing for spring with a bright and fruity flavor. The beer was made with pilsner malt, white wheat, and Apollo hops. These ingredients create a foundation for the blueberry flavor and color to shine.

Highland’s seasonal lineup features four rotating beers including classics like Clawhammer Oktoberfest and two new additions that will be announced later this year.

Berryful is available at the brewery and at retail stores throughout the Southeast until June.

Full Circle Brewing and Sonoma Cider Partner with ByBlack

by

FRESNO, California –– Full Circle Brewing and Sonoma Cider are excited to partner with ByBlack, powered by U.S. Black Chambers, Inc. (USBC) to release a beer and cider under its Sonoma Cider brand in celebration of Black History Month.

The partnership hopes to increase the visibility of Black-owned breweries and address the under-representation of Blacks in the craft beer and cider industry, which is less than 1% Black-owned.

The new brew and cider will be available February 1st at Full Circle Brewing in Fresno, CA and at national retailers Costco, Safeway, Raleys, Bevmo, and TotalWine. You can also purchase online at www.fullcirclebrewing.com. The ByBlack x Full Circle Brewing Black History Month special edition will be named Juicy Vibes Hazy Pale Ale and The Sickle Pineapple Cider.

“Our goal is not only to support our community but also spread awareness about Black businesses and how we can build together through collaboration,” said Alicea Gay, VP of External Affairs at ByBlack. “We are excited about this partnership and look forward to seeing what else comes from it.”

This marks the third year of special releases from Full Circle celebrating Black History Month, and the most exciting partnership yet with ByBlack and USBC, two premier organizations helping to promote the growth and economic agenda for Black-Owned businesses throughout the nation.

Full Circle Brewing Co. CEO Arthur Moye explains “This partnership is about charting a path for success for other minority owned breweries who have historically been underrepresented, representing less than 1% of the nearly 9,000 breweries in the country. We strongly believe representation matters and are proud to be officially certified as a ByBlack Black-owned business.”

Of the 1% of Black Owned Breweries many are small and local, few are able to make the jump to full scale production breweries servicing Big Box Retailers. This gap is due to historical issues of Access to Capital in the Black Community. Full Circle Brewing Co. and Sonoma Cider have bridged that gap by leveraging Crowd Equity, and encouraging others to follow suit.

This collaborative beer marks a milestone for Fresno’s longest running brewery in their mission to spread the spirit of authenticity by building a network of real people with positive vibes and positive tribes that push away the negativity that too frequently guides people in this world.

This release marks the start of more innovative collaborations celebrating Black breweries planned for 2023 from Full Circle Brewing.

Bale Breaker Brewing’s Frenz Collaboration Series: Bigger and Better Than Ever in 2023

by

Yakima, Washington – Bale Breaker Brewing Company, a family-owned brewery located in the beautiful Yakima Valley, is excited to announce the lineup for 2023’s Frenz Collaboration Series. First up, releasing on February 10th, is a collaboration with long-time friends and mentors, Georgetown Brewing.

2023 is a big year for the Yakima Valley brewery: 10 years ago, they opened their doors for the first time. With a big year of releases ahead of them in their anniversary year, they knew they had to go big with their Frenz series. 2023’s Frenz series is extremely special to the brewery: all three collaborations planned for 2023 will be collaborations with longtime heroes of the brand – these are the breweries that acted as mentors when Bale Breaker was first starting out, and have since grown into lifelong friendships.

This year’s Frenz cans will have a new look that nods to the fact that this year’s partnerships feature the brewery’s heroes. The collaborations you can look forward to ahead:

  • Frenz with Georgetown, Releasing February 10th, 2023
  • Frenz with Sierra Nevada, Releasing June 2023
  • Frenz with Russian River, Releasing Fall 2023

The Georgetown collaboration is particularly special: back in 2016, the very first Frenz collaboration brewed was a draft-only beer made with Georgetown. The artwork may have changed (check out the original tap handle magnet from 2016) but the sentiment remains the same: these beers are made with Frenz, to be enjoyed with Frenz.

Frenz with Georgetown is releasing Friday, February 10th, at both their Yakima and Seattle taprooms, as well as receiving larger distribution throughout Washington, Oregon, and Idaho later in the month. The Seattle release party will have crew from Bale Breaker and Georgetown Brewing on site, while the Yakima release party will feature prizes from both Bale Breaker and Georgetown Brewing raffled off throughout the night. Both taprooms will have food trucks on site during the release party. To find the beer outside of the taprooms, check out Bale Breaker’s online beer finder later in the month. Washington customers can also order the beer to be shipped directly to them from Bale Breaker via their online store.

About Frenz with Georgetown IPA:
We’re celebrating 10 years of Bale Breaker in 2023 by supersizing our Frenz Collaboration Series, brewing with our beer industry heroes. First up: Georgetown Brewing, who we brewed the very first batch of Frenz with back in 2016. This IPA brings big citrus energy with juicy fruit and pine notes. Hopped with Mosaic®, Citra®, Sabro™, and HBC 735 for grapefruit, pine, and pineapple notes.

About Bale Breaker
Crafting fresh-off-the-farm brews from the middle of a hop field, Bale Breaker Brewing Company is a family-owned brewery located in the beautiful Yakima Valley. Backed by four generations of hop farming experience, Bale Breaker started in 2013, and has grown to become the fourth largest independent craft brewery in Washington. With a 30-barrel brewhouse at a 27,000 square foot facility, Bale Breaker crafts seven year-round canned beers, including the widely celebrated Topcutter IPA, and a diverse offering of seasonal beers in cans and on draft.

Eight Beers for Eight Years: WeldWerks Celebrates 8-Years March 3-5

by

GREELEY, Colorado – WeldWerks Brewing Co. will be celebrating eight years of slinging beers Friday, March 3 – Sunday, March 5. The weekend-long bash includes eight anniversary beer releases to commemorate the occasion, specialty tappings, and a Sunday WeldWerks Anniversary Beer Brunch on March 5.

“It’s really wild to step back and realize that 8 years have passed! When we first began we were hoping that we might have a little success as a small, local watering hole,” says WeldWerks Director of Events and Experience Kristin Popcheff. “Now, to see how we’ve grown, from our staff and facility, relationships with breweries that we’ve long admired, and fanbase growing to a national level, has been incredibly humbling and exciting.”

Bottle releases: (all bottle releases available in person)

  • Born in the Drop (collaboration with Equilibrium Brewery): Born in the Drop started as an Imperial Stout aged 29 months in 8-year Blanton’s bourbon barrels. This decadent beer is a blend of base recipes for WeldWerks’ beloved Medianoche and Equilibrium’s Imperial Barrel-Aged Stout. After the aging process, the beer was conditioned on marshmallow cream, chopped walnuts, cacao nibs, and a touch of maple syrup.
  • EH Taylor Medianoche: EHT Medianoche features a blend of WeldWerks’ flagship Imperial Stout aged in barrels that were used to produce the historic bourbon named after Colonel Edmund Haynes Taylor, Jr., who is considered by many to be the “Father of the Modern Bourbon Industry.” The barrels for this blend consisted exclusively of casks used to age E.H. Taylor bottled-in-bond bourbon for over six years. After resting Medianoche for nearly 27 months in these iconic E.H. Taylor bourbon casks, the final product expresses notes of caramel chocolate fudge, maple drizzled popcorn, cinnamon churros, and glazed apricots.
  • Caramel Vanilla Latte Medianoche: Caramel Vanilla Latte Medianoche started as a blend of Imperial Stouts aged 25-27 months in freshly-emptied 6-year E.H. Taylor Bourbon, 15-year Blanton’s Bourbon, and 10-year Eagle Rare Bourbon barrels. After aging, this blend was conditioned on Madagascar vanilla beans, caramel syrup, and cold-brewed espresso. Lending heavy notes of salted caramel, crème brûlée, rich coffee, and light macadamia nut, CVLM is truly reminiscent of your favorite iced Caramel Vanilla Latte

Specialty tapping/draft only:

  • Single Barrel Medianoche: Candy Bar Medianoche aged in a freshly emptied 15-year Sazerac Rye barrel for 30 months. After aging, the beer was conditioned on caramel, roasted peanuts, and milk chocolate to produce your favorite candy bar in liquid form

Collaboration beer releases:

  • Thunder Snacks (collaboration with Pinthouse Brewing): Hazy India Pale Ale brewed with the following hops: Mosaic, Simcoe, Cryo, Frozen Fresh Hop and Incognito.
  • Lumber Juice (collaboration with Great Notion Brewing): Hazy Double India Pale Ale brewed with extra oats and milk sugar.
  • This is a Pale Ale (collaboration with Our Mutual Friend Brewing): Old school clear Pale Ale

After a weekend of partying, join the crew for a WeldWerks Anniversary Beer Brunch on Sunday, March 5. This will be a limited seating, ticketed event via Eventbrite. More details to come!

“We’re thrilled to have made it to eight years and we’re already cooking up some fun plans for year ten!” says Popcheff.

Cheerwine, the iconic 106-year-old cherry soda from Salisbury, N.C., and popular Charlotte-based brewery NoDa Brewing Company’s Cheerwine Ale (5.2% ABV | 18 IBUs), is a crisp, refreshing wheat ale infused with the South’s favorite cherry soda.

“Cheerwine makes the perfect ingredient in food and beverages because its unique cherry flavor complements so many different tastes,” says Joy Ritchie Harper, vice-president of marketing for Cheerwine and fifth-generation founding family member. “For years, people have incorporated Cheerwine into barbecue sauces, cocktails, desserts and more, and now we’re adding beer to that list.”

Cheerwine Ale, which is great for craft beer novices and experts alike, is a smooth-drinking, well-balanced brew with a perfect amount of Cheerwine that doesn’t overpower the beer’s flavor. Cheerwine Ale will be part of NoDa Brewing Company’s year-round lineup.

“Cheerwine and NoDa are synonymous with North Carolina, and both our fan bases have fond memories of enjoying our beverages during their most cheerful times – from summer vacations to the holidays and all points in between,” says Jacob Virgil, director of strategic development for NoDa Brewing Company. “Similarly, Cheerwine Ale can be enjoyed year round – it’s an approachable craft beer perfect for all occasions. We’re excited to bring fans the perfect marriage of these two North Carolina staples.”

“Like Cheerwine, NoDa is an iconic Carolina original. As one of Charlotte’s first craft breweries, it’s a classic brand led by passionate people and the perfect partner to produce a Cheerwine-infused beer,” says Harper.

Cheerwine Ale, which comes in 16 oz. four-pack cans, is now available at select North Carolina retailers. It’s also available on draft at a number of Charlotte and Triangle restaurants and bars, as well as the brewery’s Charlotte and Chapel Hill taprooms.

Over the coming weeks, Cheerwine Ale will roll out in additional North Carolina retailers and throughout South Carolina.
