Denver Westward recently made mention that New Belgium Brewing’s Mighty Arrow Pale Ale will be taking a hiatus next year. It’s replacement will be called Dig, a pale ale variation, featuring a different hop profile.
This isn’t unusual at all, as New Belgium changes up it’s seaonal lineup fairly frequently. More info to follow closer to brew day/release day. Mighty Arrow is usually releases in February to April, seasonally.
Ft. Collins, CO, November 1, 2011 — New Belgium Brewing (www.newbelgium.com) declares a snow day for everyone! This joyful phrase conjures universal meaning: forget work and enjoy. Snow Day Ale replaces 2ºBelow as New Belgium’s winter seasonal, bringing warmth and relaxation to cold winter days.
Snow Day carries the subtle chocolate and caramel flavors of the newly developed Midnight Wheat malt. Pleasantly hoppy, the Styrian Golding, Centennial and Cascade hops bring a bright note to complement roasty undertones. Snow Day is the deep garnet of roasted walnut and presents a creamy tan head.
“With its layered hops, Snow Day delivers the depth people crave in a winter beer but it’s very drinkable,” said Grady Hull, assistant brewmaster at New Belgium Brewing. “We intentionally created a beer that could carry its weight without weighing you down.”
Snow Day has 6.25 percent ABV and 55 IBUs. It’s available in most New Belgium markets and pricing may vary.

The Asheville City Council confirmed today that it has been in talks with New Belgium about an East Coast Brewery location. New Belgium is seeking tax breaks for the new establishment and it is not clear whether or not they will be given at this time. It is rumored that there could be a $2-$3 million tax break in exchange for bringing approximately 30 jobs to the city of Asheville.
It is also rumored that not all small breweries in Asheville are in favor of this possible New Belgium facility for fear that it would destroy their small town beer scene and hurt their economy. Oscar Wong of Highland Brewing stated that he was not against them entering Asheville and does not think it would hurt the economy, however he does not feel that the incentives are necessary.

Kick – Fruit/Veg Beer, 8.5% ABV. Brewed with Elysian Brewing, Kick is slightly sour. Pumpkins, cranberries and a little oak aging stretches this flavor across the entire fall season. This puts NB’s & Elysian’s collaboration count to near 10. If you like slightly tart/sour beers with a touch of fruit, don’t miss this beer.
Clutch – American Stout ,9% ABV. Named for Maryland-based hard rock band. NB describes it best with: The sour stout has a pronounced bass line of dark chocolate, coffee and black malts that bridge the sourness of the dark wood ale for a fluid riff. Clutch is a roasty stout with a twinge of sour notes. A rockstar.
