New Belgium Brewing introduces their new Imperial IPA, Rampant, and searches for the perfect mascot to represent it.

“The hop profile heavily features Mosaic and Calypso, bringing stone fruit flavors to the front seat. We’re talking peaches, apricots, things like that. Centennials are in there too, rounding out the aroma with a big citrus blast. Rampant also offers a sturdy malt backbone to balance the flavor in such wonderful way. It is a really great beer, like really great. Rampant leaves a hoppy zing in your mouth for a while after completion, and that’s a good thing, because it makes you want to drink another Rampant. “

New Belgium Pluot Joins Lips Bottles

Coming in the second quarter this year is Pluot to New Belgium’s Lips of Faith series. The beer is brewed with the juice of a pluot – an apricot/plum hybrid.

Cross pollinate your tastebuds with Belgian imagination and you’ll be sipping this ale while visions of pluots dance in your head. Pluots? A hybrid of apricots and plums that impart a subtle sweetness. Ferment that with a wild Belgian yeast strain and you have a fruity yet spicy nature with a body reminiscent of red wine. Delicious.

Style: Belgian Ale (w/ Pluot Juice)
Availability: 22oz bottles, Draft.
Arrival: TBA

10% ABV

Ft. Collins, CO, February 27, 2013 — For New Belgium Brewing, the unearthing of Dig Pale Ale signifies that warmer weather is just around the corner. New Belgium’s spring seasonal, Dig, offers a hearty list of hops, measured crispness and unpretentious appeal.
