Spotlight: Avery El Gose (Because it’s still summer)

Avery El Gose is now available in cans. You can figure out the style, right?

If the “El” isn’t a dead giveaway, the sour ale uses lime and sea salt. A bit like a margarita, in a sense.

A timeless, traditional tart gose (goes-uh) with its zesty and salty disposition is brightened by a tangy citrus twist. A bier for every día!

While it seems like folks are already gearing up for fall, it is still nearly 100 degrees outside. Avery El Gose shines in the heat. We are no strangers to boozy margaritas mind you. El Gose’s slight sour tartness, mixed with lime and salt tastes like a bit like your favorite house mix. Actually, that gives me a good idea. Breaking out the tequila with the next can.

12 ounce cans of Avery El Gose debut at a special release party at the Boulder brewery on July, 2016.

Style: Gose (w/ Lime, Salt.)
Availability: 12oz Cans
Release: July 17, 2016

Look for Avery Chai High to debut in fall, 2016.

Tin Roof Bayou Bengal, brewed for LSU University

Tin Roof Bayou Bengal, the officially licensed beer of Louisiana State University (LSU), debuts in late August.

Earlier this summer, Baton Rouge, Louisiana based Tin Roof Brewing Company allowed LSU fans and members of the local community blind taste a plethora of test batches of the would-be beer. The future beer would be perfect for tailgating, grilling out, etc.

The response was so overwhelming, the brewery could only accommodate 5% of the overall applicants for the panel.

Ultimately, a premium American lager style was chosen. A solid, clean, crisp beer great for the persistent heat of Louisiana. (Yes, even in the fall).

“There were no less than five distinct Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) styles represented in the slate of eight,” said Audra Gaiziunas, CEO of Tin Roof Brewing Company. “We had a fantastic time and those who attended provided outstanding and detailed feedback.”

The brewery tells Beer Street Journal that Tin Roof Bayou Bengal should be available in late August, just in time for LSU’s first football game.

Style: Lager
Availability: 12oz Cans, Draft.
Debut: Late August, 2016

Destihil Wild Sour Synchopathic has joined the brewery’s Wild Sour Series. The series is known for release like Plum Sour Stout, Kriek, and Lynnbrook Raspberry Sour Ale.

January 2016 was the first time that Destihil Synchopathic Sour first appeared. The dry-hopped American wild ale boasts quite a few flavors according to the brewery:

…with totally rad aromas and flavors reminiscent of grapefruit, orange, lemon, tangerine, pineapple and hints of pine, giving way to a biscuity-crackery malt back beat, low bitterness and a dry finish to bring everything in synch.

Destihil Wild Sour Synchopathic is available in 12 ounce cans and draft starting in mid-July.

Style: American Wild Ale
Availability: 12oz Cans, Draft.
Release: Mid-July, 2016

Modern Times Attack Frequency, the first of special cans

Modern Times Attack Frequency, a new special release can, debuts in August.

The San Diego brewer touts this newbie as “a mouthwatering tropical juice bomb” that is built on Citra, Amarillo, El Dorado, and Rakau hops.

…Taken to nigh-on-irresponsible levels of juiciness with the addition of guava and apricot. Seriously, we could spend paragraphs describing it, but how good did that just sound?

Modern Times Attack Frequency is the brewery’s first canned special release, coinciding with the Festival of Dankness the week of August 13th. The cans will be available at the brewery for the entire week.

Style: IPA
Hops: Citra, Amarillo, El Dorado, Rakau

Flat12 Pinko! debuts this month in 8 ounce “stubby” cans.

This Russian imperial stout makes an appearance twice each year. Once in July for the brewery’s Christmas in July, and again in November. The imperial stout pushes 11% alcohol by volume, that’s big on chocolate and coffee flavor.

The rich stout flavor features a slight smokiness and sweet hints of molasses and toffee. Brewed to age. Brewed for barrels. In Soviet Russia, you don’t drink Imperial Stouts, Imperial Stouts drink you.

NoDa Brewing Par 4 Session IPA

NoDa Brewing Par 4 Session IPA is the brewery’s rendition of the “session” IPA.

Despite being low in alcohol by volume this beer is most definitely big in flavor. it’s hoppy and clean (like you’d expect). Those in love with the India pale ale will be right at home with this session beer.

Stay in the zone with a low ABV beer that still packs robust flavor and mouthfeel. Brewed with nearly four pounds of hops per barrel and mashed with oats, Par 4 has a smooth and balanced body to even out the payload delivered by a bouquet of select West Coast hops.

NoDa Brewing Par 4 is a great addition to the brewery’s lineup this year. The once NoDable Series beer was an instant hit when released on tap in summer, 2015. Plus, the awesome Caddyshack reference in the artwork doesn’t hurt.

Style: IPA
Availability: 16oz Cans, Draft. Season release.
Debut (Cans): Spring, 2016

4% ABV, 65 IBUS
