COMING SOON: Terrapin Double Feature

The second of four volumes in Terrapin’s Georgia Theatre benefit series is headed to shelves.  The second release is called “Double Feature” and is a  Belgian Double Ale.

Description from Spike, brewer at Terrapin

Dubbel Feature “Belgian Style Dubbel” is the second of four beers in Terrapin’s Georgia Theatre Sessions. It is brewed with 100% Belgian Malts, an authentic Trappist yeast and Golding and Hersbrucker hops. This deep caramel colored brew has a delicate balance between sweet malt, estery yeast, a subtle bitterness and mellow alcoholic warmth. All the characteristics of a fine Trappist Ale.

A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Georgia Historic Trust for Historic Preservation Fund to rebuild the Georgia Theatre. To make things even more interesting, there is one Golden Ticket hidden among each of the Georgia Theatre Sessions brews. This means that four lucky winners will receive a lifetime pass to the new Theatre.

I hope that you are the lucky winner!

Cheers! – Spike
