Lonerider “Beer With No Name” Releases Saturday
It’s time for another seasonal release from Lonerider Brewing Company (Raleigh, NC). You might know this beer by another name. I won’t say it. I wouldn’t want to confuse an historical figure with beer name. Or a brewery. It’s better if we don’t use names. Like this one…The Beer With No Name. In the spirit of strong Belgian Christmas beers (St. Bernardus, Corsendonk, Scaldis) No Name is a Belgian style dubbel, brewed with caramelized beet sugar.
Being strong is not a choice, it’s a requirement, and giving up your name is one of the strongest things you can do. Learn why we call this beer The Beer With No Name at loneriderbeer.com. The Beer With No Name is still our holiday ale, a Belgian style Dubbel brewed with a rare Belgian yeast strain, caramelized beet sugar and festive holiday spices. Expect hints of dark fruit, sweet cinnamon-apple and a warming finish.
The brewery will hold a release party on Saturday, December 8 from 12-7 pm. They will be showing off their spiffy new tap room.
