Three Taverns Rapturous (raspberry sour) finally canned

Three Taverns Rapturous, an early entry in the brewery’s Sour Asylum Series, is being canned for the first time today.

Rapturous is a fruited variation of Three Taverns Sour Asylum #4, the fourth edition of the brewery’s lactobacillus kettle soured beers. The 100% pilsner malt beer was finished with California ale yeast.

Three Taverns Rapturous is aged on fresh raspberry puree, for a fruit forward finish (personally, one of our favorite beers made by the Decatur, Georgia based brewery).

Rapturous will be available in 12 ounce cans, and is already available on draft. Later this month, the brewery debuts A Night on Ponce as their second can release.

Style: American Wild/Sour Ale (w/ Raspberries)

Three Taverns ships first cans

Decatur, Georgia based Three Taverns Brewery has packed their first canned offering, hitting shelves by mid-July.

First up – Three Taverns Prince of Pilsen, the brewery’s traditional pilsner first released in the fall of 2014.

Prince of Pilsen tributes the most popular beer style in the world. Originally brewed in the bohemian City of Pilsen in 1842, the new sensation was widely imitated and now makes up 90% of beer consumed around the globe. This Euro-style version is refreshingly crisp and dry hopped with Falconer’s Flight 7Cs for a distinct citrus aroma and bite.

Three Taverns Prince of Pilsen is already available in 12 ounce bottles and draft. 12 ounce cans of Pilsen start hitting shelves the week of July 11th. A kick of tour party is planned for Monday, July 11th. Attendees can take home one of the first Prince of Pilsen 6-packs.

More canned offering are currently in planning, but not announced.

Three Taverns Theophan the Recluse Returns, tweaked recipe

Three Taverns Theophan the Recluse is shipping again in January, 2016. The beer kicked off the brewery’s 750ml series last year. Recluse is brewed with a mix of eight specialty dark malts, Muscovado sugar, and a Belgian yeast strain.

2016’s recipe has been slightly adjusted from past brews. Three Taverns has dialed down the lighter adjunct sugars and dialing up the heavier and darker malt sugars for a more viscous version of the imperial stout. This translates (as they put it): dialing down the Belgian aspects, and dialing up the Russian aspects. Sorry Belgians.

Theophan the Recluse was a Russian monk known for the spiritual depth and complexity of his writings. We consider him a perfect namesake for this rich, complex imperial stout, brewed with eight specialty malts, dark Muscovado sugar and a Belgian yeast strain. Deep, mysterious, full-bodied and indefinably exotic, Theophan the Recluse is meant to transport drinkers to a place of deep contemplation, mystical insight and inspired conversation.

Three Taverns Theophan the Recluse has been a home run for the brewery, ever since the beer debut a few years ago. Available in 750 milliliter bottles and draft. A bourbon barrel-aged edition has been available in the past as well (aka Departed Spirit).

Style: Imperial Stout (w/ Muscovado Sugar)
Availability: Draft, 750 ml Bottles. Winter Seasonal

Three Taverns Bourbon Barrel-Aged Feest Noel debuts

Three Taverns Bourbon Barrel-Aged Feest Noel debuts this Sunday at the brewery in Decatur, Georgia. This is the first time a barrel-aged edition of this beer has been bottled.

Feest Noel, the brewery’s festival Belgian-style quadrupel, was first bottled in time for Christmas 2014. The beer is brewed with cardamom, allspice and clove, bolstered by the Belgian yeast nice warming of the 10% ABV.

Three Taverns Bourbon Barrel-Aged Feest Noel came out of the barrel strong. In your face, bourbon flavor strong. Additionally, the spices had faded after a year of barrel rest as well. So brewery founder Brian Purcell opted to blend the barreled Feest with the fresh, 2015 batch. Trust us when we say, the barrel isn’t hidden at all by the blend. Purcell and the brewing team have found a great balance in the blend, making this a great seasonal treat.

Three Taverns Bourbon Barrel-Aged Feest Noel is available in 750ml bottles as tour souvenir. Limited distribution to follow the first week of December.

Style: Quadrupel (w/ Cardamom, Allspice, Clove. Barrel Aged. Bourbon.)
Availability: 750ml Bottles, Draft.
Arrival: December, 2015

10% ABV, 30 IBUs

Three Taverns Departed Spirit Coming to Bottles

Three Taverns Departed Spirit will be the brewery’s next bottle release in April. The base beer is Three Taverns Theophan the Recluse Imperial Stout the brewery aged in bourbon barrels.

Departed Spirit recently took first in Atlanta’s Secret Stash Bash in March. Above, oran Van Ginderacther and brewery founder Brian Purcell celebrate the top spot.

Beer Street Journal sampled Three Taverns Departed Spirit this week, and can safely say, we are excited. The beer has a great bourbon to stout balance. The barrels don’t over power the greatness that Theophan the Recluse is.

Expect Three Taverns Departed Spirit in 750ml bottles in late April. The artwork will remember Heavy Bells, their bourbon barrel quad.

Style: Imperial Stout (Barrel Aged. Bourbon.)
Availability: 750ml bottles
Release: Late-April, 2015
