Red Brick Hibiscuwit Launches in Cans In March

Red Brick Hibiscuwit is coming to 12oz cans in mid-March. What was once a draft only offering last year is getting an upgrade to package.

Red Brick Hibiscuwit is a Belgian-style wheat beer, brewed with organic hibiscus, sweet orange peel, and cinnamon. Hibiscuwit will be one of the first two core beers the brewery has released, after Laughing Skull launched last year.

Expect a Mid-March shelve date in Georgia, the brewery’s other states, by April, 2015.

Heavy Seas Smooth Sail Arrives in April

Heavy Seas Smooth Sail Summer Ale arrives in April.

The brewery just launched their first year round beer in more than a decade, Crossbones Session IPA. The barrel aged, limited series known as Uncharted Waters, has a few new releases on the way.

Perfect for warm weather, Smooth is a wheat ale, brewed with orange and lemon peel.

…Brewmaster, Chris Leonard, “Smooth Sail Summer Ale is a beer that has been in development for quite some time. The goal was to produce a light, refreshing, flavorful beer that appeals to active folks and will become an integral part of warm weather fun. The beer is more than 20% malted wheat, giving it an airy mouthfeel and a frothy head. We’ve employed a neutral strain of “wheat” yeast to produce a clean tasting beer that is delicate on the palate. American hops are introduced late in the boil to impart a crisp flavor dimension. Finally, dried orange and lemon peel went into in our hopback to provide a fruity, citrus aroma – without adding sweetness…

Heavy Seas Smooth Sail Summer Ale will be available only in cans and draft.

Style: Wheat Ale (w/ Lemon Peel, Orange Peel.)
Availability: 12oz Cans, Draft.
Release: April, 2015

4.5% ABV
