Uinta Changes Their Birthday Suit
2013 marks 20 years of brewing for Uinta Brewing (Salt Lake City, UT) and with it comes a new version of their Birthday Suit. This year’s 20th Birthday Suit is a sour brown ale instead of the sour cherry of 2012.
“Brewed in celebration of Uinta’s 20th birthday, this American Sour Brown Ale flaunts significant acidity balanced by flavorful Abbey and Chocolate malts and a modest amount of hops. A distinct tartness on the palate combines with notes of toffee and earthiness.”
Expect this to be on the shelves in the upcoming months. Last year’s Suit didn’t make every Uinta market. Hopefully that’s different this year. Happy Birthday Uinta!
Style: Sour Brown Ale

Prehistoric Half Acre Bones & All Hits 1/16
On January 16th, Half Acre Beer Co (Chicago, IL) releases Bones & All Belgian Brown Ale. As giddy as this beer would back Ross Gellar, New York City is a little far away. He should try it though, it’s described as pretty darn good.
We’re dipping our toes into the waters of Belgium with Bones & All. Our first foray into the style in quite awhile, we are quite excited to offer you this 5.4% ABV Belgian Brown Ale. Brewer Michael Carroll, our expert on all things Belgian style, gave the beer a glowing endorsement, calling it “pretty darn good”. Brewer Matt Young echoes this sentiment, calling Bones & All “well-balanced” and “very good”. So there you go. Two positive reviews from two dudes who know their beers.
Style: Belgian Style Brown Ale Availability: Draft Only
Arrival: 1/16/13

Dear Elvis, Rogue VooDoo Doughnut Chocolate Peanut Butter Banana Ale
Rogue’s second VooDoo Doughnut beer should be popping up at your favorite beer spots shortly if not already. VooDoo Doughnut Chocolate, Peanut butter, and Banana Ale is the latest tribute to Portland’s Voo Doo Doughnut Shop, which features specialty doughnuts such as a maple bacon bar (which inspired Rogue’s first beer, Maple Bacon Porter), doughnuts with Captain Crunch on top, and doughnuts dipped in everything from bubblegum dust to tang. After the original Maple Bacon Porter receiving mixed reviews, let’s hope that this crazy concoction pleases the palate. Below is the donut the beer is inspired by…
