Southern Tier 2X Presso Hits Shelves

Southern Tier Brewing (Lakewood, NY) kicks off 2015 with the release of 2X Presso. The base beer is an milk stout, brewed with coffee and lemon peels.

Espresso is a drink that is not for the faint of heart. Pulling a perfect shot is as much a science as it is an art form. Come to think of it, the same can be said for brewing beer. Of course, both coffee and beer have certain, shall we say ‘uplifting’ qualities. Combine the two is a natural progression.

Southern Tier 2X Presso is a winter seasonal in 12oz bottles.

Style: Milk Stout (w/ Coffee, Lemon Peels, Lactose.)
Availability: 12oz Bottles, Draft.
Released: January, 2015

7.5% ABV

Airways Final Departure Imperial Stout with Barrel Aged Coffee Beans

Airways Brewing Company (Kent, WA) releases Final Departure Imperial Stout today. The beer was first brewed for “the end of the world” in 2012.

Final Depature is brewed with coffee beans from Kent-based Rad Roasting Company, aged in whiskey barrels from Bainbridge Organic Distillers.

“Our big, beefy imperial stout uses the same basic recipe as in years past, but this year we added a unique twist,” said Alex Dittmar, founder and head brewer at Airways Brewing Company. “We worked with Kent-based Rad Roasting Company a couple months back to age a batch of select coffee beans in whiskey barrels from Bainbridge Organic Distillers. Once those beans had matured, we roasted them, then added them to the conditioning tank. The result is fantastic—amazing, but with soft notes of coffee, whiskey, and chocolate.”

Airways Final Departure Imperial Stout is available in 22oz bombers for a limited time.

Style: Imperial Stout (w/ Barrel Aged Coffee Beans)
Availability: 22oz Bombers, Limited draft.
Arrival: 12/9/14

9.1% ABV, 70 IBUS
