Tin Roof Bayou Bengal, brewed for LSU University

Tin Roof Bayou Bengal, the officially licensed beer of Louisiana State University (LSU), debuts in late August.

Earlier this summer, Baton Rouge, Louisiana based Tin Roof Brewing Company allowed LSU fans and members of the local community blind taste a plethora of test batches of the would-be beer. The future beer would be perfect for tailgating, grilling out, etc.

The response was so overwhelming, the brewery could only accommodate 5% of the overall applicants for the panel.

Ultimately, a premium American lager style was chosen. A solid, clean, crisp beer great for the persistent heat of Louisiana. (Yes, even in the fall).

“There were no less than five distinct Beer Judge Certification Program (BJCP) styles represented in the slate of eight,” said Audra Gaiziunas, CEO of Tin Roof Brewing Company. “We had a fantastic time and those who attended provided outstanding and detailed feedback.”

The brewery tells Beer Street Journal that Tin Roof Bayou Bengal should be available in late August, just in time for LSU’s first football game.

Style: Lager
Availability: 12oz Cans, Draft.
Debut: Late August, 2016

Bell’s Quinannan Falls is being canned this week

Bell’s Quinannan Falls Special Lager Beer will be the next canned offering from the Comstock, Michigan based brewery.

Inspired by a place that Larry Bell imagined in a dream, neither the beer, nor the waterfall existed outside his imagination. Michigan artist, Kathleen Kalinowski made the vision a reality the next day, and the beer was born.

The lager beer is reminiscent of a German pilsner, brewed with Simcoe hops.

The end result is a dry-hopped lager that possesses a crisp, dry bitterness you would expect from a German pilsner, but the use of highly aromatic Simcoe hops from the Pacific Northwest, evoke the fragrant pine forests that inspired this beer.

Bell’s Quinannan Falls Special Lager Beer will be available in 12 ounce cans (6 packs) starting in late June, 2016. Above, the image of the canned waiting to be filled at the Michigan brewery on June 7th.

Style: Lager
Availability: 12oz Cans, Draft.
Release: June, 2016

Red Brick Laughing Skull Craft Lager, 2nd in the series

Red Brick Laughing Skull Craft Lager will expand the “Skull” lineup this spring.

The Laughing Skull line many years ago as a Bohemian pilsner. The beer’s namesake is Atlanta’s Laughing Skull Lounge, a comedy club. At the time, the beer was a little ahead of it’s time for the city. Year’s later, Laughing Skull returned as the current amber lager. The beer is one of the most popular in the brewery’s portfolio.

This April, Red Brick Laughing Skull Craft Lager will the second entry in the “Skull” lineup. This release is a lager – lighter than the amber, to create an easy drinking beer for the coming warmer weather.

“The lager style is something that’s been missing from our offerings, and we’ve come up with a great recipe. Its an easy drinking beer and is very approachable for craft beer consumers of all levels.”

Red Brick Laughing Skull Craft Lager will be a draft, bottle and can offering.

Style: Lager
Availability: 12oz Cans, 12oz Bottles, Draft. Year-Round
Debut: April, 2016
