COMING SOON: Red Brick 16th Anniversary
A follow up to last years popular 15th Anniversary by Red Brick Brewing (Atlanta, GA) is 16th Anniversary Ale. This year’s edition boasts a few changes.
16th is Red Brick’s Brown Ale (A double brown as they call it) aged 6 months in Jack Daniels bourbon barrels. (15th was 13 mos. in Pappy). Also, 16th Anniversary won’t be in 22 oz bombers but 12oz/4 pks. The production is slightly higher in 2011.
Another interesting note, 16th Anniversary is the first of 4 beers in Red Brick’s new “Brick Mason” series. (Post to follow)
Style: Imperial Brown Ale (barrel aged)
Arrival: Late February – Early March, 2011.
7.5% ABV
COMING SOON: Red Brick Helluva Bock
Red Brick Brewing (Atlanta, GA) is bringing a their bock out of retirement. By my best estimations, this beer last made an appearance around 2005. In 2011, the beer gets a fancy new name – “Hellava Bock” & a fancy new label.
The details haven’t been finalized, but looks like it will be shipping in the next 4-6 weeks.
