First Look: Terrapin Rye Pale Ale Cans

Terrapin Rye Pale Ale will soon launch in 12oz cans. The brewery is actively making a shift cans across the portfolio. By the end of 2015, more more than half of the lineup will be canned.

The first offering to be canned will be Hop Session, by the first week of March, locally.

Hop Session is in. Starting with a blend of west coast hops for a balanced, bitter effect. We close the session out by late hopping the beer for a nice resiny mouth feel.

Shortly after, the brewery will ship Hop Session cans to their distribution states. White Birch Brewing started brewing in 2009.

Oskar Blues GUBNA sports new hops, drops can distribution

Oskar Blues Gubna Imperial IPA returns to the seasonal lineup for the sixth year. Cans won’t be easy to find this season.

The hoppiest beer in the brewery’s lineup gets a hop tweak with every release. The idea is to find and brew with the most sticky, dank hops Oskar Blues can find. The 2017 blend features Azacca, Sterling, and Crystal hops chosen from sensory panels at each of OB’s breweries.

“The traditional hops beat out some newer, experimental varietals this year, which surprised many of us here at OB, But the hops just spoke to the nearly 100 employees that participated in GUBNA hop selection and we must obey the rub.”Oskar Blues GUBNA is available in 12oz cans (4 packs) from March until July, seasonally. – Tim Matthews, Head of Brewing Operations.

The 10% alcohol by volume, 100+ IBU Oskar Blues Gubna will only be found on draft, unless you find yourself in one of the brewery’s taprooms.

Style: Imperial IPA
Hops: Azacca, Sterling, Crystal
Malts: Rye, North American Pale, Munich

Availability: Draft. March-July, Seasonal. Cans in the tap room.

It’s a party in your mouth and all the beautiful people are invited.
