Sierra Nevada Foam Brewed For Phish Concerts Hits Taps

Sierra Nevada’s popular Foam Pilsner can now be found outside of Phish festivals. The beer has been brewed for various Phish fests (Hippie Halloween, Super Ball IX, etc). The pilsner has almost its own cult following from the sales at the shows.  Now you might find it down the street.

Foam is a German style pilsner brewed with grassy noble hops, and a blend of German and American malts.

Style: Pilsner
Availability: Draft only

5.6% ABV

My favorite Phish song…

Brooklyn Gold Standard Arrives

Brooklyn’s Gold Standard Export Kellerbier is showing up on tap handles in the city. The draft only beer launched late April, available through early summer.

Brooklyn Gold Standard Export Kellerbier is here to channel those days when the land was green with beer gardens, and no one had yet uttered the P-word*. The title “Export” connotes a beer more robust than pilsner, while the word “Kellerbier” tells us that it’s unfiltered. Our malt is 100% floor-malted Bohemian barley, giving the beer a rich bready backbone. And Brooklyn Gold Standard is going to need a solid backbone to hold up all those snappy German Hallertau Perle, Hallertau Mittelfrueh and Czech Saaz hops that are leaping out of the glass. A long, cold lager fermentation makes it rich, but smooth. The big floral hop aroma is followed by refreshingly bold bitterness and beautiful rounded malt flavors.

Malts: Bohemian Hanka, 100% Floormalted, Czech Republic
Hops: Hallertau Perle and Hallertau Mittelfrueh (Germany), Saaz (Czech Republic)
Yeast: A proprietary lager strain, lent to us by our awesome pals at New Glarus Brewing of Wisconsin

6.2% ABV, 44 IBUS

Finch’s Threadless Hits Taps

Look for Finch’s Beer Co’s newest draft offering in Atlanta – Threadless IPA. The 16oz cans arrived over the past week, draft this week. This is a pretty special beer, as it’s a collaboration with Threadless T-Shirt Company. Last year, the brewery created a hoppy American IPA for Threadless, leading them to want to can the beer and share with the world.  One problem. Artwork was needed. Threadless took it to the people. 169 designs were submitted to be voted on. The above design was the clear winner.

Style: IPA
Availability: 16 oz cans, Draft

6% ABV
