Terrapin To Can “Recreation Ale” in 2013

Terrapin Beer Company (Athens, GA) will release their first beer in a can in 2013. Recreation Ale is slated for release this May. To dispel a few rumors running around since Beer Street Journal announced the can addition. Recreation Ale will be the only beer arriving in cans 2013.  No other offerings have even been planned or even discussed.

Recreation Ale will be a “hopped up” session ale loosely based on its sibling Easy Rider. Low ABV, around 4.5% ABV. Terrapin wanted a beer you can take with you to the great outdoors – camping, hiking, etc. The usual (yet important) speil about the flexibility of beer in cans.

For this first year, the brewery is outsourcing the canning. Depending on a popularity, the brewery will consider purchasing a canning line.

Arrival: May, 2013

Sun King’s Bourbon Barrel Beer In A Can

Johan the Barleywine was the first batch of beer ever made at Sun King Brewery. In fact, this is part of that batch from July, 2009. The brewery laid some of Johan in bourbon barrels to age since then.  That’s 3+ years this beer has been waiting to surface.

Johan the Barleywine was the first batch of beer produced at Sun King on July 1, 2009. We filled two bourbon barrels from the initial batch and let it age. This process imparts even more depth of character to this award winning beer, which is featured here in the first release of our King’s Reserve Series. 

Only 250 cans will be made available of this barrel aged barleywine in a can. Retail $25. One per human.  Half of the allotment will be available for online reservations beginning January 21st at 12:00 PM (EST) and the other half will be available in the Tasting Room on January 28th.

Style: Barleywine (Barrel Aged, 3 years)
Availability: 16 oz Alumitek Cans
Arrival: 1/28/13
