Calusa Brewing Begins Triple Can Release of Outbound Pils, Citronious & Lobby Party DIPA

CalusaTripleCanDropVertCalusa Brewing (Sarasota, Florida) has officially announced that it is closing out March 2020 by dropping three Limited Release offerings – the debut of Outbound German-style Pils and return of Citronious and Lobby Party Double NEIPA – in the brewery’s taproom.

As they adapt to the current social distancing and stay-at-home situation caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis, Calusa Brewing has decided to can a serious amount of the following three Limited Release offerings so that the brewery’s cooler can stay stocked with plenty of tasty goodness (descriptions sourced from the brewery’s Facebook page):

  • Outbound | German-style Pils – Crisp, complex and classic, this German Lager pours a brilliant, sparkling gold. Made with only the highest-quality German malts, aromatic noble hop varieties and a traditional long, cold maturation. Some things are classics for a reason.  ABV – 4.8%
  • Citronious | New England-style India Pale Ale – Pouring a hazy gold, Citronious blasts with the fresh flavor and aromas of citrus, mango and tropical fruits. This single-hopped IPA is a true showcase for the juicy, dank, notoriously big character of the dynamic Citra hop.  ABV – 6.5%
  • Lobby Party | Double New England-style India Pale Ale – Double NEIPA w/ Citra, & Sabro hops, Mango, Pineapple & Lactose collaboration with our South Florida friends at Tripping Animals Brewing (Doral, Florida)  ABV – 8.5%

All three offerings listed above were officially released in 4-packs of 16 oz. cans on March 28, but there is still “plenty to go around” at this time.  You can grab your 4-packs by visiting Calusa Brewing during their adjusted To-Go Only Hours: Weekdays – 2 p.m. to 8 p.m. | Weekends – 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. (credit/debit card payments only). Prost!
