Terrapin Dos Cocoas Rides Again

Terrapin Beer Company  (Athens, GA) has released Dos Cocoas for the second time in the brewery’s history. Dos was an early part of the Side Project Series, and was extremely well received. Terrapin gave fans an opportunity to vote in a beer from the past (any except Depth Charge) to be re-rebrewed in 2013. Dos Cocoas won in a landslide.

The base beer is a porter, brewed with “dos” chocolates – cocoa powder and aged for a month on cocoa nibs. Look for it on draft and 22oz bombers in Terrapin territories now.

Style: Porter (w/ Cocoa)

5.8% ABV

Terrapin’s Dos Cocoas Returns In July

Terrapin Beer Company’s (Athens, GA) Dos Cocoas was release #4 in their Side Project Series. (We are up to #20 now.) Last year, fans of the brewery were given the opportunity to vote to bring a beer out of retirement and I think you can guess who won. Dos Cocoas is first and foremost a porter, that gets it’s name because of two chocolate additions- cocoa nibs and cocoa powder. Chocolate and beer is a match made in heaven.

“Dos Cocoas” Chocolate Porter is a little experiment with a traditional porter and two types of cocoa. I used cocoa powder in the whirlpool and then aged the beer for one month on a bed of cocoa nibs. What you will get from this beer is fine chocolate aroma, a unique chocolate bitterness and a tantalizing balanced chocolate flavor from both the cocoa powder and nibs.

Style: Porter (w/ Cocoa)
Availability: 12oz bottles, Draft
Arrival: Late July, 2013

5.8% ABV

The Dr. Will See You Now. Terrapin Side Project #20

Terrapin Dr. Krunkles

Introducing the 2oth release in Terrapin Beer Co’s (Athens, GA) Side Project Series – Dr. Krunkles. The lovable brewer Krunkles rides again, this time with a white IPA. This experimental IPA uses a considerable amount of wheat, a farmhouse yeast (for a little funky flavor) with a twist – white peppercorns. Oh yeah, and it’s finished on White Ash oak staves. A complex, yet fun drinker in the heat perhaps?

Straight from the Orient and into the brewing ingredient R&D field comes the next incarnation of the most beloved IPA brewer on the planet, Dr. Krunkles. The Dr. is in with a new White Farmhouse IPA that has ordinary brewmasters bending over and sing “Moon River” in his honor. Dr. Krunkles White Farmhouse IPA reaches new heights in complexity and flavor by combining the malt and spices of a Belgian Witbier, the yeast of a Farmhouse Ale and the hoppy goodness of an American IPA. Dr. Krunkle’s twisted touch is a dash of white peppercorn and then wood aging on white ash.

Style: White IPA (w/ White Peppercorn, Oak Aged)
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft
Arrival: August, 2013

7.3% ABV
