Both of these beers are seem relatively new – (less than 20 ratings on BA) and draft only. Like Sparkling Ale, these 2 beers are part of a 1,200 bottling run from February, 2011. Golden Rye is of course a Rye Beer, 6.5% ABV. A little more info exists on Quinannan.
About Quinannan:
Born in a dream, Quinannan Falls Special Lager BeerQuinannan Falls Special Lager Beerrefers to a mythical place in the boreal north. While the waterfall may exist solely in Larry Bell’s imagination, the beer he remembered drinking there is now quite real. Quinannan Falls possesses the crisp, dry bitterness you’d expect from a German pilsner, but the use of highly aromatic hops from the Pacific Northwest in both the kettle & dry-hop evokes the fragrant pine forests that inspired this beer.Style: American Pale Lager
6.5% ABV
Where? What? When? Still waiting on the news. But 1,200 bottles doesn’t go very far. [Speculation] Sounds like these are for a special event or perhaps Savor?
Bell’s Brewing’s 750 ml bombers exist. Well, at least 1,200 of them. A label has recently surfaced disclosing that there are just a very few Sparkling Ale bombers. Sparkling is a specialty release by the brewery – basically on a whim. It’s been well over a year since this tripel has made an appearance.
Sparkling Ale combines notes of cloves, honey and dried fruits from a blend of two Abbey-style yeast strains with citrusy hops from the Pacific Northwest to offer a heady, fragrant mix.
The label mentions the these specialty 750’s are individually numbered, 1-1,200. Bottled February, 2011. Larry Bell hasn’t disclosed what these bottles are for. I’m sure we’ll find out soon.
