Marker 48 Brewing Introduces Smallbatch Beer Program

marker48beerbookMarker 48 Brewing (Weeki Wachee, Florida) has officially announced the launch of their Smallbatch Beer Program, a new promotion that will feature a new one-off beer during each of the remaining 48 weeks of 2017.

Starting this week, Marker 48 Brewing will begin tapping a series of unique brews and selling a limited number of Smallbatch Beer Books as a part of their Smallbatch Beer Program.  Not only will this promotion allow you to enjoy a new beer each week for the rest of the year, but it also gives you chance to win some amazing prizes.  There are quite a few moving parts to the Smallbatch Beer Program, so let’s break it all down:

The Beers of the Smallbatch Beer Program – The brewers at Marker 48 Brewing and a select group of guest brewers have signed on to create a series of small-batch beers that will be tapped at the brewery each week for the rest of 2017.  These 48 beers are meant to be an exploration of “creative and experimental brewing — everything from sours to barrel-aged beers, and many styles in between.”  Anyone who visits Marker 48 Brewing can order these limited offerings, but those that commit to the Smallbatch Beer Program will have the chance to win some cool prizes at the end of the year.

The Promotional Beer Books of the Smallbatch Beer Program – As of this week, Marker 48 Brewing has begun the sale of a “very limited” amount of Smallbatch Beer Books. These Smallbatch Beer Books grant you “one FREE small-batch beer per week or half-off bomber bottles of the week’s small-batch beers (when available).” For each Smallbatch Beer enjoyed, the brewery will also stamp your Beer Book so that you can track your progress throughout the year.  These Smallbatch Beer Books are $100 each – **Bargain Alert** that works out to roughly $2 per beer **Bargain Alert** – and can be purchased at Marker 48’s tasting room located at 12147 Cortez Blvd, Weeki Wachee, Florida.

The Prizes of the Smallbatch Beer Program – “At the end of the year, those individuals who have all 48 stamps will get an exclusive Marker 48 Smallbatch Beer shirt AND a special 20 oz. glass to be kept in the brewery to receive core beers for the same price as 16 oz. beers.

Depending on the number of stamps required, book holders will also be qualified to win end-of-the-year grand prizes.”

 The prizes are:

~ 10-25 stamps are qualified to win:

  • $100 Marker 48 gift certificate
  • Free passport book for 2018 ($100 value)
  • $25 BeckyJacks Food Shack gift certificate
  • $25 Florida Cracker Kitchen gift certificate
  • That’s a $250 total value

26-35 stamps are qualified to win all of the above, PLUS:

  • The chance to brew a small-batch beer with our brewers in 2018

~ 36-48 stamps are qualified to win all of the above, PLUS:

  • A one-night stay with one guest, hosted by Marker 48, on a private island on the Homosassa River and a half-day fishing inshore charter with a guide captain

In order to qualify for the prizes above, you must purchase a Smallbatch Beer Book.

The plan is for the majority of the Smallbatch Beers to be tapped each Wednesday in Marker 48 Brewing’s tasting room.  With that said, things do come up in the brewing process and those beers with “special treatments or other special brewing techniques may be released another day.”  Your best bet is to check Marker 48’s Facebook page or Twitter account each week for up-to-date news concerning each release.  The brewery expects each release to be available for a couple of weeks, but there is no guarantee when it comes to demand for limited release beers.

The first beer of the Smallbatch Beer Program, a treated American Blonde Ale called Peanut Butter and Jellyfish (5.5% ABV), was officially tapped on Sunday, February 5.  Marker 48 Brewing reports that this offering “remains available as of this date.”

At just $100 for a beer a week for the rest of the year, this Smallbatch Beer Program is a no-brainer if you happen to live anywhere near Marker 48 Brewing.  Swing by the tasting room soon to get in on this promotion and start collecting those stamps.  Prost!

Catawba Brewing Co. Heralds Return of Peanut Butter Jelly Time

catawbapbjlogoCatawba Brewing Co. (Morganton, North Carolina) recently announced that Peanut Butter Jelly Time will be making a much-anticipated return on Friday, March 3.

Peanut Butter Jelly Time is a beer that has reached nearly legendary status in the craft beer community because Catawba Brewing has always rejected the idea of shortcuts when it comes to this offering.  Instead, they are dedicated to brewing it the hard way – a.k.a. The Right Way.  Starting with an American Brown Ale recipe to provide a “bready base for the star ingredients,” this specialty release is then aged for weeks on whole-roasted North Carolina peanuts and real Oregon raspberries. Catawba believes that only this “proprietary brewing process” can yield the true peanut butter notes and ” the bold complementary flavor of fruity jam” necessary to create the experience of “an entire delicious sandwich in a glass.”

The limited release of Peanut Butter Jelly Time will officially begin on March 3.  This Specialty offering will be available on draft and in 4-packs of 16 oz. cans at select craft beer retailers in Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina and Tennessee.  There will also be a “commemorative collector’s edition PB&J Stanley Classic Lunchbox – containing beer, merch, and an original art print – . . . available exclusively in Catawba tasting rooms.”  The brewery plans to nearly double last year’s production numbers for Peanut Butter Jelly Time, but that does not mean you should expect it to “last much beyond April 2, which happens to be National Peanut Butter & Jelly Day 2017.”  Secure your cans when you see them because no one wants to miss out on some Peanut Butter Jelly Time.  Prost!

Two Brothers Artisan Brewing Adds Pinball Pale Ale to Year-Round Lineup

tbpinballcan_editedBeginning in early February, Two Brothers Brewing Company (Warrenville, Illinois) will launch Pinball Pale Ale as the newest addition to the brewery’s portfolio of Year-Round beers.

Since they share “a hometown with the pinball machine”, Two Brothers Brewing has developed Pinball Pale Ale to be a liquid homage to these coin-operated manufacturers of good times.  Thanks to a recipe that features five hop varietals, this offering is being dubbed a “Juicy Hop Pale Ale” that is loaded with “tropical and citrus fruit notes including orange, pineapple, passion fruit and grapefruit.” Clocking in at just 5.4% ABV, Pinball Pale Ale promises to be an easy-drinking and refreshing option to add to your rotation of daily drinkers.

“We wanted to bring back the classic pale ale style to our lineup, but as with any of our beers, we wanted to push the envelope a bit and put our own signature on it,” explained Jason Ebel, co-founder of Two Brothers Brewing Company. “We played with all sort of hop varieties and brewing techniques and ended up with a profile and flavor that’s truly unique. Adding the hops post-boil allowed us to perfect the balance between malty and hoppy. I think we’ve created a great pale ale while delivering something new and still maintaining the values upon which we pride ourselves.”

Two Brothers Brewing Company will officially launch Pinball Pale Ale in early February with a series of “release events at arcades and bars throughout the Chicago area.”  This new Year-Round release will then be distributed in 6-packs of 12 oz. cans and on draft to craft beer establishments in Florida and throughout the rest of the Two Brothers Brewing Company distribution footprint.  Next time you hit up your favorite beer spot in search of a thirst-quenching dose of hops, be sure to check the shelf or tap list for some Pinball Pale Ale.  Prost!

Tasting Notes: Lovely, Dark & Deep from Brewery Ommegang

“. . . The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.”

from “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening” by Robert Frost

lddommegangbottle_editedTasting Notes comfortably eases us into the work week with a look at Lovely, Dark and Deep Oatmeal Stout from Brewery Ommegang (Cooperstown, New York).

It is not too often that I get to combine my loves of great beer and fine literature, but Brewery Ommegang has more than accommodated this quirky/nerdy need of mine by creating Lovely, Dark and Deep Oatmeal Stout.  With a name inspired by the final stanza of Robert Frost’s “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”, this Oatmeal Stout serves as a Winter Seasonal that is more than capable of warming the hearts and souls of even the weariest of travelers.  This limited release has been brewed with a rich blend of malts, lactose, Ommegang’s signature house yeast, and Bravo and Styrian Golding hops.  At just 5.3% ABV, this offering proves to be a fantastic go-to option no matter what kind of winter you are forced to endure.  Lovely, Dark and Deep Oatmeal Stout is available for a limited time in 6-packs of 12 oz. bottles and on draft.  If you are interested, you can still find this one on shelves and taps at select craft beer establishments located in Alabama, Florida and throughout the rest of Brewery Ommegang’s distribution network.

With all of that background information covered, I do believe it is time to crack open a book, pour a glass and get to some Tasting Notes!

Tasting Notes for Lovely, Dark and Deep Oatmeal Stout from Brewery Ommegang

Appearance: Lovely, Dark and Deep fills the tulip glass as a dark black, completely opaque beer that is wearing over two fingers of mocha colored foam.  Held to direct light, the color softens just a shade to the darkest of browns possible and has a deep red glow residing at the very bottom of the glass.  The head has incredible staying power, eventually falling to a creamy half finger only because of the huge amount of lace it leaves behind after each sip.

Aroma: The beer grabs your attention quickly with an initial aromatic pop filled with rich notes of oats and other grains.  These malts captivate with a deeply roasted, nearly charred character.  Once the malts invite you in, notes of dark chocolate, coffee and toasted multi-grain bread quickly emerge to greet the nose.  Dark fruit, a dash of anise, and just a breath of light smoke rounds off the profile.  Proudly robust, this beer’s aroma absolutely sets the tone for the experience ahead.

Taste: We have a new development here and it is Belgian yeast.  Mingling with the dark malts, this yeast character softly presents itself with light qualities of spice, licorice, prune and plum.  This works gorgeously with the style’s expected notes of hearty grains, cocoa and roasted coffee.  The beer finishes with a bit of cream to impart just a touch of sweet vanilla.  All of these notes fit snugly together to make each sip extraordinarily flavorful.

Mouthfeel: This Oatmeal Stout falls on the fuller side of medium in body with a lifting carbonation presence.  The beer is delightfully silken and creamy on the palate, and it ultimately dries out quite nicely.  At just 5.3%, the ABV plays no role in this beer and keeps the experience incredibly easy-drinking.  The aftertaste leaves behind a touch of chocolate milk and earthy yeast character.

Final Thoughts: After spending quite a bit of time enjoying this beer while re-reading “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”, Lovely, Dark and Deep Oatmeal Stout has proven to be a wonderfully brewed ode to the poem for which it has been named.  On the surface, this offering stays true to its obligations to the style by showcasing notes of roasted malts, coffee and cocoa. The brewers clearly paid close attention here, stopping to recognize and appreciate the beauty found in the Oatmeal Stouts that have come before this one.  With that responsibility more than adequately satisfied, they then dug a little deeper by using Ommegang’s signature house yeast.  This seemingly minor change is all that is needed for the beer to take its own form and make a name for itself.  Something distinguishable and willing to push beyond what is known.  Something that strongly affirms, “This is undoubtedly Ommegang.”  Something not to be forgotten.  Simply put, Lovely, Dark and Deep is an eloquently composed, artfully crafted Oatmeal Stout that just cannot be missed.  Prost!

  • As you may have already figured out from logo posted above, Cascade Brewing is rebranding their look in 2017.  Along with the new logo, the bottle label designs have also been updated with three distinct color formats that will distinguish each release “based on ingredients used, time in the barrel as well as type of barrel used.” The new bottle labels will roll out throughout the year and debut in mid-February with the release of our next topic, Sang du Chêne 2015. Here is a sneak peek of that label to give you an idea of what to expect:
    cascadesang
  • Sang du Chêne 2015: scheduled for release in February – Meaning “blood of the oak,” this project showcases sour blond and triple ales aged in three distinct oak vessels: red wine foudres, toasted French and American oak puncheons and Cognac brandy hogsheads. Oak influences are the highlights, providing flavors of toasted sugars, vanillin and spice that are complemented by the bright acidity and fruity character of the base beers. Sang du Chêne captures the marriage of wood and beer at its finest.
  • Kentucky Peach 2016: scheduled for release in March – This is a blend of sour wheat and quad ales aged in bourbon and wine barrels for up to 16 months with fresh, Northwest-grown peaches.

  • Rose City Sour 2016: scheduled for release in October – The cellar team infused sour wheat ale with a unique blend of dried rose hips, rose petals and hibiscus tea crafted for Cascade by Tao of Tea. Rose City Sour features flavors of roses, cranberries, watermelon, grapefruit and hibiscus tea.

Full Sail Brewing Co. Introduces Session Black Cherry Black Lager

blackcherryblack_pourshot_webpageFull Sail Brewing Company (Hood River, Oregon) recently expanded their Session Series with the Seasonal release of Session Black Cherry Black Lager.

The folks at Full Sail Brewing decided to enter 2017 by providing lager lovers with a fun, new twist on their Session Black Lager. Just as the name implies, Session Black Cherry Black Lager is basically Session Black Lager’s recipe infused “with a dash of dark cherry flavor.” With this simple tweak, the beer takes on a new identity as a garnet colored lager boasting “aromas of cocoa and cherry with a subtle floral essence . . . [and] a full palate of bittersweet chocolate and sweet cherry taste.”  Just like the original, the 5.4% ABV Session Black Cherry Black Lager is “still short, dark and drinkable.”

“This new Session is Session Black with a cherry on top – actually, it’s more like a cherry cordial without the brandy,” says Full Sail Brewmaster Jim Kelter. “The aroma and flavor of cherry complements the smooth chocolate character of this dark lager. Brewed with Pale, Caramel, Munich and Chocolate malts, this is an easy-drinking wintertime beer. It’s not too heavy with just the right amount of cherry.”

Session Black Cherry Black Lager officially released in mid-January and will be hanging around through April 2017.  This Seasonal release is available in 12 packs of 11 oz. bottles, in the Session Mashup variety 12-pack of 11 oz. bottles and on draft.  If you have been craving some lager refreshment lately, look for this one on shelves and taps in Florida and throughout the rest of Full Sail Brewing Company’s distribution network.  Prost!

Highland Brewing to Launch Daycation IPA as New Year-Round Brew

daycation_ipa_bottleHighland Brewing Company (Asheville, North Carolina) has announced plans to round off their Year-Round lineup with the March release of Daycation IPA.

To create a beer that is reminiscent of the good times innocently found while “being a tourist in your own town or [on] a spontaneous day trip,” Highland Brewing Company has crafted Daycation IPA to be a low-gravity offering that remains a memorable drinking experience.  This lofty goal was achieved in large part due to “the desired balance and body” coaxed out of a big grist bill comprised of six different malts – 2 Row Brewers Malt, White Wheat, Rye, Vienna, Caramel 20 and Flaked Oats.  With this solid malt base and a combination of four hops, this refreshing India Pale Ale “packs in tropical, lemony, pineapple leaf flavors and aromas, perfectly balanced with a bready, bright, sessionable body.”

“It’s hard to make a beer this small that doesn’t disappear. We wanted some body and mouthfeel and got the right mix by adding small percentages of wheat, rye and flaked oats.”

– Hollie Stephenson, Highland Brewing Company Brewmaster

The first keg of Daycation IPA will be tapped in Highland Brewing Company’s taproom on Friday, March 3 at 4 p.m.  This new Year-Round offering will then head out for distribution beginning on Monday, March 6.  At launch, you can expect to find Daycation IPA available in 6-packs of 12 oz. bottles and on draft in Alabama, Florida and throughout the rest of Highland’s distribution footprint.  Highland Brewing Company has been consistently producing some really great IPAs lately, and we should all expect Daycation IPA to follow that trend.  Be sure to check out this new brew when it releases in just a few short weeks.  Prost!

Monday Night Brewing and ASW Distillery Collaborate on Scottish-Style Single Malt Whiskey

aswmnbMonday Night Brewing (Atlanta, Georgia) recently announced that they have partnered with ASW Distillery (Atlanta, Georgia) on the creation and release of Monday Night Scottish-Style Single Malt Whiskey.

Although this is the first collaboration spirit created by Monday Night and ASW, the long-standing relationship between these two dates back to when “Monday Night co-founder Joel Iverson lived next door to ASW co-founder Charlie Thompson” before either had their current businesses.  A friendship started innocently when Joel invited Charlie to homebrew tastings, and that bond naturally carried over when they eventually established their respective brewery and distillery.  After co-sponsoring several events in Atlanta together and ASW Distillery sponsoring one of Monday Night’s first anniversary parties, a collaboration project was just the next natural step for the two companies.

This project became a reality just about as soon as Monday Night’s Brewmaster Adam Bishop met ASW’s Head Distiller Justin Manglitz and discovered that they shared an ” adorably obsessive love of all things chemistry and alcohol.”  The two then hatched a plan “to produce a smooth, smoky whiskey.”  The process started with Monday Night brewing up “a mash rich in Cherrywood-smoked malt” – the same malt used in the brewery’s Drafty Kilt Scotch Ale.  Once the mash was taken to ASW, “it was distilled . . . in traditional Scottish-style twin copper pot stills before being transferred into new American white oak quarter casks.”  There it aged until Monday Night and ASW were confident that they had a Scotch-style Whiskey that boasts “a pleasant bite . . . with a smooth, slightly sweet, and delightfully smoky finish.”

Monday Night Scottish-Style Single Malt Whiskey will start hitting Atlanta area shelves in early March.  This offering will be available in 750ml bottles for the “expected retail price of $59” each.  If you feel it necessary to be one of the first to try Monday Night Scottish-Style Single Malt Whiskey, ASW Distillery will be hosting a small release party on Monday, February 27.  Advanced tickets for the party will be available for purchase on Monday Night Brewing’s website beginning on Monday, February 6.  We will be sure to update this post with that ticket link and any further release information once it surfaces.  Stay tuned.  Prost!
