Uinta Celebrates 19th Years Naked With Cherries

Unita Birthday Suit AleUinta Brewing will be celebrating 19 years with Birthday Suit Sour Cherry Ale.  The brewery was founded in the winter of 1993 in Salt Lake City, Utah.  Uinta has been 100% solar powered since 2001.

In the beginning, cherry tress shaded the beer garden.  Resisting temptation no longer, we picked the fruit and let it ferment into a pleasantly sour an subtlety sweet ale to mark Unita’s 19th Birthday.  A sinful pleasure for the experienced and adventurous palate.  

Style: Fruit beer (Cherries)
Availability: 750ml bottles
Arrival: TBA

Nebraska’s Microbe Rue Release

The next experimental beer in Nebraska Brewing Company’s Inception Series will debut this Saturday called Microbe Rue.  The beer will be available in 22oz bottles and only 18 cases are being released to the public.  Microbe Rue took the Nebraska brewers two full years to brew and age.

What is it you ask?  Two years ago Nebraska Brewing made a Holiday beer that was a Belgian Dubbel with Belgian Candy Sugar, cinnamon, and Nebraska City Cherry Juice.  Back then, they poured some of this beer into a brand new Missouri Oak barrel and tucked it away until a couple of weeks ago when they pulled it out and bottled it.  It is now known as Microbe Rue.
