Beer News and Releases
Flying Dog Backyard Ale
Flying Dog Backyard Ale. It’s a beer made in collaboration with Chef Bryan Voltaggio though the brewery hasn’t released any more details on it. The First batch was brewed March 29th, so we should see it start hitting the shelves in a few weeks. It has been approved in both 750ml bombers and 12 oz. bottles with an ABV of 7.5%.
This should be a great "Summer Cook-Out" beer....can't wait to try one!
Outblack Ale
Collaboration between De Struise Brouwers (Oostvletere, Belguim) and Stillwater Artisanal Ales (Baltimore, Maryland).
Stillwater Artisanal Ales was ranked #2 for the Best New Brewers of 2011.
This Belgian Strong Ale was joined happily with another powerhouse, the Black IPA.
You take a chocolate sweet strong ale put it together with the high & strong hop style of the IPA, and you get Outblack, a wonderful combination of Chocolate and Hops goodness!
The beer boasts a 10% ABV and will be available in the 22oz formats, hoping to see these hitting the store shelves early summer. For more info watch for the American Craft Beer Festival, it should be making it's US debut there....Stay tuned..
