Heavy Seas Sets Date for Joose Cannon Lemon Meringue Pie Can Release

Posted on by mashingin

Heavy Seas Beer (Baltimore, Maryland) has officially announced that it will begin the Limited Curbside Release of Joose Cannon Lemon Meringue Pie on Friday, March 26.

Serving as the next “exciting twist on [Heavy Seas Beer’s] flagship IPA Loose Cannon,” Joose Cannon Lemon Meringue Pie is Hazy/Juicy India Pale Ale “brewed with lemon for zest and lactose for creaminess” to mimic “the sweet and tart flavors of lemon meringue pie.” Coming in at 7.25% ABV, the “perfectly tangy and velvety” Joose Cannon Lemon Meringue Pie proves that it “really is as nice as pie.”

“With the success of Joose Cannon Key Lime Pie in 2020, we knew we wanted to experiment with a lemon meringue spin on Joose Cannon this spring.” says Heavy Seas Associate Brand Manager, Amanda Zivkovic. “Lemon meringue pie is such a delicious spring-time treat, and this beer really captures that balance of sweetness and tanginess!”

“Ah, yes, this was a fun one,” says Brewmaster Christopher Leonard. “We had such a blast with the Key Lime Pie version last year, and, well, 2020 just gave us nothing but lemons. So, let’s make Lemon Meringue Pie Joose Cannon in 2021! Loads of Citra hops and (no surprise here) many gallons of lemon juice blend nicely with lactose and just a hint of vanilla to provide that ‘whoa! It’s pie-in-a-glass,’ experience. Enjoy!”

Joose Cannon Lemon Meringue Pie – available in 4-packs of 16 oz. cans – will be available (as long as supplies last) for Curbside Release at Heavy Seas Beer on March 26. Joose Cannon Lemon Meringue Pie is a brewery only release and will not see distribution. Prost!

Wild Leap Brew Co. Continues Limited DIPA Series With Release of Alpha Abstraction Vol. 16

Posted on by mashingin

Wild Leap Brew Co. (LaGrange, Georgia) has officially announced that it will begin the Limited Release of Alpha Abstraction – Vol. 16 in early March 2021.

The latest release in Wild Leap’s experimental Double IPA Series that “explores hop varieties and features a varied hop profile in each volume,” Alpha Abstraction – Vol. 16 is Hazy/Juicy Double India Pale Ale double dry-hopped with the “elusive” Hopsteiner EXP 06300 hops. Coming in at 8% ABV, Alpha Abstraction – Vol. 16 “[delivers] passion fruit and tropical flavors with hints of orange and creamy caramel.”

“There are many experimental hop varieties that come and go every year from hop producers, but unlike the experimental hops we’ve used for the Alpha Series in the past, the Hopsteiner EXP 06300 is on its way out of the market,” says Elliott. “Due to the low yields it produced, the hop producer is no longer allocating acreage for this variety. This is unfortunate because it instantly became one of our favorite hops. It’s full of clean and balanced tropical and caramel notes, so enjoy it while it lasts!”

Alpha Abstraction – Vol. 16 officially released on March 1 and will be available only as long as supplies last. You can expect to find this Limited Release available in 12 oz. cans and on draft at select craft beer-focused establishments located within Wild Leap’s distribution footprint in Alabama, Georgia and South Carolina.

New Realm Brewing Company adds beLOW Hazy IPA to Year-Round Lineup

Posted on by mashingin

New Realm Brewing Company (Atlanta, Georgia) has officially announced that beLOW Hazy IPA, the brewery’s first low-carb and Hazy IPA, will join its Year-Round lineup in March 2021.

Developed to capture the “lighter side of IPA” at New Realm Brewing Company, beLOW is a sessionable Hazy/Juicy India Pale Ale “anchored by one of the company’s favorite hop combinations and a meticulously engineered brewing process.” Coming in at just 4% ABV, 20 IBUs, 99 calories and 4.2g of carbs, the “light, crisp and refreshing” beLOW “is the perfect balance of bright citrusy notes, drinkability and low-carb profile.”

“This beer is something special”, said Bob Powers, Co-Founder and Chief Sales & Marketing Officer of New Realm Brewing. “It’s citrusy, refreshing, and has the hop character that IPA lovers crave, with less than half the calories. beLOW was brewed with high-quality, all-natural ingredients and doesn’t make a consumer compromise taste, quality, or their healthy, active lifestyle like some beers.”

“We created beLOW with some of my favorite hop varieties which lend a light, citrusy flavor profile that impresses the palate. The process of brewing a low-carb, low-calorie beer is very unique and challenging. In most beers there is a residual sweetness in the final product, and carbs come with that rich sweetness. With beLOW, we use exogenous enzymes to break down the complex sugars in the wort which leaves the beer with a drier finish and significantly less carbs than your standard IPA, without sacrificing any flavor,” said Brewmaster and Co-Founder Mitch Steele.

beLOW Hazy IPA will debut on March 2 with availability in 6-packs of 12 oz. cans and on draft. You can expect to find this new Year-Round offering at select craft beer-focused establishments located within New Realm’s distribution footprint in Georgia and Virginia. Prost!
