This one has been a while in the making. Well over a year ago, Terrapin Beer Co and Brasserie Franches Montagnes (Jura, Switzerland) collaborated on a rye based barleywine. The first edition “Spike & Jerome’s Ale” was aged in rum barrels in Switzerland.

Terrapin has been aging their edition Jerome & Spikes 2011 Barley Ryne in bourbon barrels in Athens, Georgia. Well, at least 1/3 of it. The beer is a blend of barrel aged and non barrel aged beer.

Terrapin Pumpkinfest is now shipping. 2012 marks the 4th year of this beer.P-fest is actually a fusion of two styles – oktoberfest and pumpkin.

I have always wanted to brew a traditional Octoberfest for the Fall season, but it seems that these darn pumpkin beers are all the rage right now. So… keeping up with Terrapin’s out of the box brewing tradition, I have decided to brew a beer that combines both of these delicious brewing styles. “Pumpkinfest” is a traditional Octoberfest brewed with over 1 pound of pumpkin per barrel along with pumpkin spices.

All of the malt of a German Fest beer and all the spice of Grandma’s pumpkin pie! Eat it up! Spike

Terrapin All American Pilsner Returns

Terrapin All American

In honor of this years presidential election, Terrapin Beer Co’s All American Pilsner returns from retirement. This year’s batch is much bigger than ever before.  Speaking of beers out of retirement, you have an opportunity to vote to bring a Terrapin beer back from retirement.

The All-American Imperial Pilsner is the beer that has inspired all this democratic fervor at Terrapin. The AAIP began its career as one of the original members of the Monster Beer Tour. Originally released in 2005 as a 7.5% Pilsner with 75 IBUs, it was brewed withall American malts, hops, yeast, and water. Rich, malty, and with an extreme hoppy profile, this was truly a Terrapin-style Pilsner. The plan to bring the Pilsner back for the Presidential Election was born when the AAIP was retired. It softened the blow to the beer’s many fans to know that it was not gone forever… just on hiatus! It’s back now once again; representing classic German style but with anAll-American flair!

Style: Imperial Pilsner
Availability: 12oz bottles, Draft.

8.6% ABV, 80 IBUs
