Bruery Terreux Cinnamonk released to Society members

Bruery Terreux Cinnamonk officially releases today, February 19th. A new bottle addition to the expanding Bruery Terreux lineup.

Bruery Terreux Cinnamonk is a sour brown ale, brewed with both cinnamon and blueberries. It was then aged in bourbon barrels, emerging a strong 12.1% alcohol by volume.

After spending time in bourbon barrels, the result emerges with notes of candied dates and tree nuts, toffee-drizzled dark winter fruits, maduro earthiness, autumnal spicing, tart flavors and oak-aged character.

Bruery Terreux Cinnamonk is available in 750 milliliter bottles at the brewery starting today. For Preservation Society members only.

Style: American Wild/Sour Ale (w/ Blueberries, Cinnamon. Barrel Aged. Bourbon.)
Availability: 750ml Bottles
Release: 2/19/16

Jester King bottles 1st 100% spontaneous beer (PICS)

Jester King Brewery (Austin, Texas) bottled their first 100% spontaneously fermented beer this week. The unnamed beer should release in late 2016.

Back in 2013, the brewery used their coolship for the first time (a shallow tub where the wort cools). Jester King let it ferment using the native wild organisms in the Texas air.

That brings us back to this week. Nearly three years into the project, the brewery has finally blended and bottled their first spontaneous beer. Jester King estimates it will take anywhere from 6-9 months to re-ferment in the bottle prior to release.

The yet-to-be named beer now rests in 750 and 375 milliliter bottles, as well as kegs.

Release – TBA.

Wicked Weed Bramble Barrel joins Canvas Series

Wicked Weed Bramble Barrel has joined the Asheville, North Carolina brewery’s Canvas Series. Inspired by the the Gin Bramble cocktail.

The base beer for Wicked Weed Bramble Barrel is an American sour ale, brewed with local blackberries, and aged in Cardinal gin barrels. Those barrels give the beer a touch of spearmint. The finishing touch is lemon zest, to properly mimic the cocktail.

The bramble cocktail hails from 1880’s London, England. Dry gin and lemon juice are the stars of the cocktail, along with red fruits like blackberries and cranberries. (No cranberries in this beer.)

Wicked Weed Bramble Barrel is available in the usual 500 milliliter bottles. Distribution started this week.

Style: American Wild Ale/Sour (w/ Barrel Aged. Blackberries, Lemons.)
Availability: 500ml Bottles
Release: Mid-February, 2016
