Terrapin’s “Spike” On New Thornbridge Collab [VIDEO]

Terrapin Beer Company’s “Spike” traveled to Thornbridge Brewery (England) to create a new transatlantic collaboration. The beer is an imperial strong bitter with rye (Shocking Spike. Shocking) and American hops. P.S. That tall goofy guy is Lee from @BrickStorePub.

Jester King Salt Lick: Wood Smoked Saison

Jester King Salt Lick

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
