Southern Tier Tripel Cafe Joins Belgian Series

Southern Tier Tripel Cafe

Southern Tier Brewing (Lakewood, NY) will add another offering to their Belgian Series next month – Tripel Cafe.

As the name suggests, the beer is a Belgian-style tripel, with coffee. True, but with a twist. Tripel Cafe has green coffee beans. Green coffee beans are unroasted, or immature beans. Orange peel is added to the brew for a flavor boost.

A juicy orange. A green coffee bean. There once was a time when both were considered exotic delights, carried from far reaching corners of the globe. Within this bottle is your opportunity to rediscover these ingredients in an uncommon form, that of a Belgian Style Ale. Enjoy Tripel Cafe with appetizers, or alongside a meal enjoyed with your friends when they happen to swing by.

Southern Tier Tripel Cafe will be available in 22oz bombers. Other offerings in this series include Tier De Garde, Sonnet, and Grand Arbor.

Style: Belgian-style Tripel (w/ Green Coffee Beans, Orange Peel)
Availability: 22oz Bombers
Arrival: November, 2014

Southern Tier Pumking Is On Shelves Now Too

If you were to ask me what one of the biggest anomalies/confusions to consumers in craft beer is, I’d say it would be pumpkin beers showing up in July. It makes perfect sense that people are a little confused too. It’s 90-100 degrees outside. You’re sunburned from the pool, football preseason is more than a month away. It’s grill weather not fall.

However, that doesn’t stop these beers (which typically are really popular) from hitting shelves.  Some of the most popular in the category -Terrapin’s Pumpkinfest, Weyerbacher’s Imperial Pumpkin Ale, and now Southern Tier’s Pumking are now available.

Most of these beers are big, 8% and higher so they will definitely keep until it feels right. Either way, just like the last three Julys – these big beers are here.

Style: Pumpkin Beer 
Hops:
 Sterling, Magnum
Malts: 2 Row Pale, Caramel,

Availability: 22oz Bombers.  Draft.

9% ABV
