Full Sail Releases “Black Gold”

Full Sail Brewing kicks off February with the release of Black Gold, an imperial stout aged in bourbon barrels.  Black Gold is part Full Sail’s Brewmaster Reserve Series.

The first of the bottles have been released at the Full Sail Tasting Room in Hood River, Oregon, with more bottles being distributed around the state.  If this beer is as good as it sounds, it might not get far out of Oregon.

A hearty brew that is black as night with a strong roasted malt character and a full body. After its initial release in January 2010, our Imperial Stout was aged for a full year in Bourbon casks from Kentucky.

Full Sail LTD #4

I think there needs to be more lagers brewed by craft brewers in the United States.  I would like more lager choices, especially in the summertime.  Full Sail Brewing (Hood River, OR) has a very popular “Sessions” Lager & “Sessions Black”.  In addition, the brewery has a limited series – aka “LTD Series” of small batch experimental lagers.  One of few craft brewers in the U.S. to experiment with lagers.  Here’s Full Sail’s take on things:

Hood River, Or – “Sometimes the best of a brewer’s art, like jazz, can be shown by the notes you don’t play. In our case we bring that elegance of simplicity into our new limited edition lager brewed with one select barley and one of the best Northwest hops. By choosing to focus on these two single “notes” we highlight the finely balanced and complex interplay between the malt and hops. LTD 04 is a beautiful pale-golden color and brewed to highlight the elegant simplicity of both the pale malt and Willamette hops,” said Irene Firmat, Full Sail’s CEO and Founder. LTD 04 has been brewed, bottled, and kegged and is now shipping from the brewery.

Full Sail Wassail Winter Ale

Full Sail Wassail is back for 2010.  This beer was first brewed by Full Sail Brewing (Hood River, Oregon)  in 1988.  Like some other seasonals this time of year, each year the taste is just a little different.

From Full Sail:

In Hood River, every year a few undeniable signs signal when winter is at the doorstep. The cool east winds begin to blow, Mt. Hood and Mt. Adams get a white blanket of fresh powder, and the snow report for the backcountry regains its trance-like hold. But most of all, we know it’s winter because theWassail starts flowing once again.
