New Belgium Paardebloem Coming to Lips of Faith

A new collaboration is coming to New Belgium’s Lips Of Faith Series. Paardebloem pairs the Fort Collins based brewery with RedRock Brewery (Salt Lake, UT).

Using dandelion greens to bitter a Belgian-style ale blossomed from out brewers collaborating with Red Rock Brewing. This being our sixth interpretation together since 2008. Expect a wonderfully complex ale fermented with wild Belgian yeast and blended with just a touch of w0od-aged beer. Bitterness imparted from dandelion greens and grains of paradise will have you blowing wishes for sips.

Style: Belgian Strong Ale (w/ Peach Juice, Grains of Paradise, Dandelion Greens, Partially Oak Aged)
Availability: 22oz bottles, Draft
Arrival: TBA

9% ABV

Jester King Salt Lick: Wood Smoked Saison

Jester King (Austin, TX) continues to push the flavor boundaries with Salt Lick, a smoked saison. The beer is a collaboration of sorts. A portion of the malt was smoked over pecan wood at Salt Lick BBQ in Driftwood, Texas.

First came the witches, and soon after there were vampires. They came in droves and each time one popped up it seems to be better looking then the last., each polished to a blinding luster. For a brief moment even werewolves even had there moment in the spotlight, plucked and preened to studio perfection. Then, to our astonishment, monsters comprised of nothing more than smoke joined this pop phenomenon – and that we couldn’t resist.

Style: Saison (Partially Oak Aged, Smoked)
Availability: 750 ml bottles
Arrival: TBA

6.7% ABV
