Fred Karm of Hoppin’ Frog (Akron, OH) recently spent some time in Europe. Brewers don’t go abroad just to see the sights. They brew. First stop? Brouwerij De Molen. This is the first of three collaborations he brewed on his trip. The beer is a fusion of two styles, a saison (of European origin) and a hoppy IPA (America loves the hops).
U.S. MEETS EUROPE S.I.P.A. Collaborating with De Molen Brewery in the “Green Heart” of The Netherlands, we have created a wild and inventive recipe that is a unique blend from the best of both worlds! A super-charged Saison I.P.A. is born, featuring kilos of American hops to add a crazy twist to this European-style ale. The fruity, spicy flavors of this malty Double Saison are nicely complimented by an abundance of late and dry-hopping with the finest American hops.
Style: Ummm…
Availability: 22 oz bombers

Check your shelves. Russian River & Sierra Nevada present to you their newest collaboration “Brux.” For many, this is the first time (and probably only) time you’ll see a Russian River beer in your state. The American wild ale was brewed in Chico, California at Sierra Nevada using Russian River’s wild yeast strain to referment in the bottle.
What began as mutual admiration between Sierra Nevada’s Grossman family and Russian River’s Cilurzos has grown and progressed into genuine friendship. Brux began as an idea and has grown into something altogether different:
The liquid manifestation of change over time.
Refermented in the bottle with Brettanomyces bruxellensis, Brux will change and develop over time. Copper-colored, dry and complex, with slightly tart notes of green grass, pear, spice and lemon — this ale will progress in the bottle for many years.
Style: American Wild Ale
Availability: 750ml bottles, corked & caged.
8.3% ABV
