Catawba Brewing Co. Warns of the Return of Deep State Baltic Porter

Posted on by mashingin

CatawbaDeepState2Catawba Brewing Co. (Asheville, North Carolina) has officially announced that Deep State Baltic Porter will surface once again on November 2 for a Limited Release.

Known in some circles as Catawba Brewing Co.’s “most scandalous beer of all”, Deep State is a Baltic Porter that covertly obtains its “complexity from five specialty malts” – Pale, Munich II, Vienna, Crystal and Chocolate.  This robust malt bill yields a “full-flavored character . . . layered with rich malt, toffee, dark fruits, and a hint of roast.”  Coming in at a stealthy 7.2% ABV and 33 IBUs, Deep State is “a dangerously drinkable dark lager” that “finishes silky smooth.”

Deep State will first turn up at all Catawba Brewing Co. locations on November 2 and is expected to then hit distribution at or around that date.  You will be able to find this Limited Release available in 6-packs of 12 oz. cans and on draft at select craft beer-friendly spots located in Alabama, North Carolina and throughout the rest of the brewery’s five state distribution footprint.  Prost!

Deep State Baltic Porter Surfaces as Latest Catawba Brewing Limited Release

Posted on by mashingin

unnamed (63)Catawba Brewing Co. (Morganton, North Carolina) has announced that it will officially begin the limited release of Deep State Baltic Porter on Friday, November 3.

Originally brewed as Catawba Brewing’s Passport Beer #32, Deep State was developed as a closed-door experiment focused on the traditional Baltic Porter.  This offering stays true to style by employing bottom fermentation with lager yeast, but the brewery did add its own tweak by having the beer come in on the “more sessionable end of the ABV range for the style at 7.2 percent.” Those lucky enough to get their hands on Deep State will experience a “dangerously drinkable dark lager . . . layered with rich malt, toffee, dark fruits, and a hint of roast.”

Deep State Baltic Porter launches on November 3 and will be available as long as supplies last.  You can expect to find this Limited Release offering at select beer establishments located in Alabama, North Carolina and throughout the rest of Catawba Brewing Co.’s 5-state distribution footprint.  Prost!
