First up in cans is Jailhouse Alibi. A golden ale brewed with stone ground grits. That canning day is coming in April.

Jailhouse Brewing 5150 will be a 12 ounce can offering. Glenn Golden, the brewery’s owner and founder tells Beer Street Journal they hope to can this IPA in mid to late 2016.

Ballast Point Pineapple Sculpin cans ship

Ballast Point Pineapple Sculpin cans are now shipping from the San Diego, California based brewery.

Sculpin IPA, the brewery’s leading IPA, has two other bottled siblings – Grapefruit Sculpin, and Habanero Sculpin.

Ballast Point Pineapple Sculpin combines the aggressive but balanced IPA with the tropical twist of pineapple. Bottles and draft started shipping in January of this year.

Our Sculpin IPA is a great example of what got us into brewing in the first place. After years of experimenting, we knew hopping an ale at five separate stages would produce something special. The result ended up being this gold-medal winning IPA, whose inspired use of hops creates hints of apricot, peach, mango and lemon flavors, but still packs a bit of a sting, just like a Sculpin fish.

Ballast Point Pineapple Sculpin IPA is a draft, and 12 ounce bottle and 12 ounce can offering.

Style: IPA (w/ Pineapple)
Availability: 12oz Bottles, 12 oz Bottles, Draft.
Release: March, 2016 (Cans)

7% ABV

Bronx Brewery Rye Fidelity, a B-Sides release

Bronx Brewery Rye Fidelity joins the brewery’s music themed B-Sides Series. Already, this beer is one of the fastest selling to date.

Rye beer runs deep with the brewery as it was the second beer they ever brewed. It was time to kick it up another notch. As Bronx puts it – “a more badass rye beer.”

With heavy citrus aromas on the nose and a crisp, dry, warm finish on the mouth, it’s a complex, yet finely balanced big hoppy beer with an 8.1% ABV that we can’t get enough of.  Looks like we committed some infidelity with our Rye Fidelity.

Bronx Rye Fidelity Is a draft only offering.

Style: IPA
Hops: Columbus, Citra, Amarillo, Columbus
Malts: Muntons Maris, Otter/Propino blend, Briess Rye Malt, Briess Caramel 20L, Dextrose

Availability: Draft only
Release: March, 2016

8.1% ABV, 85 IBUs
