Yazoo & Calfkiller’s “The Beacon” Fights Stupid Beer Taxes

It’s a pathetic situation when craft brewers have to fight to change the laws just to exist. In Tennessee, craft brewers are charged more per gallon, then wine or beers from larger, non craft breweries. That is what brings Yazoo Brewing (Nashville, TN) and Calfkiller Brewing (Sparta, TN) together. The Beacon aka A Tennessee High Tax Ale.

Brewed with smoked wheat this unique style knows no limits, but is already guaranteed to have the highest taxes in the nation. Cut the red tape, pop the cap, and enjoy this oppressively refreshing ale!

Style: Wheat Ale (Smoked)
Availability: 750 ml bottles
Arrival: TBA

Iron Maiden to Create Beer [VIDEO]

Who knew that Iron Maiden was a fan of traditional English cask beer? Now THAT’S metal! In conjunction with Robinson’s Brewery in the UK Iron Maiden has created Trooper Ale which should be available in May. There’s no official word yet whether or not this will hit the US. Start crossing your fingers now.

“I’m a lifelong fan of traditional English ale; I thought I’d died and gone to heaven when we were asked to create our own beer. I have to say that I was very nervous — Robinsons are the only people I have had to audition for in 30 years. Their magic has been to create the alchemical wedding of flavor and texture that is Trooper. I love it.” – Bruce Dickinson, Iron Maiden lead singer

DC Brau and Union Craft Brewing Team Up for CBC

Even more beer for the CBC! DC Brau proudly teams up with Baltimore’s Union Craft Brewing to bring the 4th installment of their Craft Brewer’s Conference 2013 lineup – Yonder Cities. This Farmhouse IPA means more to the two breweries than just another beer.

“Soon after returning from CBC 2011, DC Brau were one of the first breweries we reached out to when we were in our start-up phase and they received us with open arms, offering us great advice and friendship. Like our neighboring cities, our breweries are kindred spirits and we are very proud to have brewed this amazing beer with them. As both breweries continue to grow within our own cities, we look forward to many more exciting partnerships with our beltway brothers.” – Jon Zerivitz of Union Craft Brewing.

Other beers in DC Brau’s CBC lineup include Beggars and Thieves Anti-Imperial Ry Lager collaboration with Devils Backbone and The Brewer’s Art; Taster’s Choice collaboration with SKA Brewing and The Pietastes; and Colliding Hemispheres collaboration with Briess Malts and Hop Union. A draft only preview of Yonder Cities will be available March 16th at DC Brau and then city-wide in Baltimore and DC during CBC 2013.
