A Weyerbacher for Breast Cancer

Weyerbacher Althea

Weyerbacher “Althea” in Greek means healing. That’s the idea behind this Belgian-Style dubbel from the Easton, Pennsylvania brewery. Weyerbacher plans to donate a portion of each of the bottle sales to help defray the cost of breast cancer treatment.

Althea is created in conjunction with The Breast Cancer Patient Assistance Fund of Lehigh Valley Health Network. The fund helps those that need financial assistance, from travel, treatment, prothesis, child care, and more. The recipe was developed by Weyerbacher’s New Jersey representative Natalie DeChico. Italian plums are added to create a fun nuance to this dubbel.

A limited run of 750ml bottles (corked & caged) will arrive in October, 2013.

Style: Belgian Style Dubbel (w/ Plums)
Availability: 750 ml bottles, Corked & caged

Philly Beer Week Collab: Manneken-Penn

Brasserie De La Senne Manneken Penn

If you had any doubts before, don’t. Philadelphia IS one of America’s premiere beer cities. Tom Peters (Monk’s Cafe), Chris Wilson (Weyerbacher) traveled to Brussels (Still in Belgium) to brew with Yvan De Baets of Brasseries de La Senne.

Manneken-Penn is a 7.5% Belgo-American Dubbel whose name and label art were inspired by Philadelphia’s famed William Penn statue above City Hall, and Brussels’ landmark Manneken Pis sculpture of a playful naked boy — ahem — relieving himself.  Manneken-Penn was made with oats, molasses and a combination of American and European hops.  It is imported for PBW by Shelton Brothers and will be available both on draft and in 11.2 oz bottles

Style: Dubbel
Availability: 11.2 oz bottles, Draft
Arrival: 5/31/13

7.5% ABV

A Dubbel Entry in New Belgium’s Lips of Faith

Among the most prolific series in the American craft brewing lineup is New Belgium’s Lips of Faith. The series allows the brewers play, experiment, and even collaborate. Say hello to Wild Wild Dubbel. The Colorado style dubbel is brewed with schisandra, medicinal herb used to cure a variety of remedies (including thirst). This isn’t the first time you’ve seen New Belgium use the herb either. It is on shelves now in Springboard.

A Colorado version of the Belgian dubbed, Wild Wild ropes you in with clove and dark fruit aromas. Deeply rich and malty, every sip has a creamy texture true to Belgian tradition before it rides off with hints of black pepper and cinnamon from the addition of schisandra berries.

Style: Dubbel (w/ Schisandra)
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft
Arrival: TBA
