Hardywood’s Gingerbread Stout 2013 Release Set

A popular winter seasonal out of Virginia is Hardywood Park’s Gingerbread Stout. The base beer is an imperial milk stout brewed with honey, cinnamon, and ginger. As it’s been said before – it’s Christmas in a bottle.

Brewed with baby ginger from Casselmonte Farm and wildflower honey from Bearer Farms, Hardywood Gingerbread Stout captures the terroir of central Virginia in a rich, creamy libation with a velvety mouthfeel and an intriguing evolution of flavors from milk chocolate and vanilla to honeycomb and cinnamon to a snap of ginger in the finish.

Bottles go on sale at 2 pm on November 16th, 2013. 4 bottle limit. 32oz and 64oz growlers will be allowed.

Style: Imperial Stout (w/ Ginger, Honey, Lactose)
Availability: 750 ml bottles
Arrival: November 16th, 2013

10.6% ABV, 55 IBUs

Heavy Seas Yule Tide Features Ginger & Rum Barrels

Heavy Seas (Baltimore, MD) Yule Tide was a Belgian-style tripel in the past.  It actually took at least one season off. In a Beer Street Journal interview with Hugh Sisson earlier this year, he mentioned that Yule Tide will return in the Uncharted Waters Series, changing each year.

The wait is over to wonder what 2013’s edition will be. As a reward to you awesome drinkers of Heavy Seas will come an imperial red ale, brewed with ginger, and aged in Jamaican rum barrels. Should be a great way to round out the year.

Style: Imperial Red Ale (w/ Ginger, Barrel Aged. Rum)
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft
Arrival: November, 2013

9% ABV

Fullsteam Gears Up For Cack-A-Lacky Cans

Fullsteam Cack-a-Lacky

Fullsteam Brewery will soon be taking year round offering Cack-A-Lacky to cans.  The ginger pale was first launched on tap in January of this year. This described “refreshing, hoppy, and zippy” pale ale is brewed in partnership with Cackalacky  Hot Sauces out of Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

Fullsteam has some high hopes for this beer. The brewery hopes Cack-A-Lacky will soon become a nationally known beer. This “southern” pale ale uses both fresh and candied ginger for it’s unique flavor. If you currently have Fullsteam on tap in your hood, you might have Cack-A-Lacky now. Soon you will take some home in cans.

Style: Pale Ale (w/ Ginger)
Availability: Draft, 12oz Cans (Soon)

?? ABV

Note: CACKALACKYâ„¢ contains none of the “famously original” extraordinary spiced condiment made from sweet potatoes created a decade ago and still produced in Chapel Hill. (True, and funny.)
