Southern Tier 2X Presso Hits Shelves
Southern Tier Brewing (Lakewood, NY) kicks off 2015 with the release of 2X Presso. The base beer is an milk stout, brewed with coffee and lemon peels.
Espresso is a drink that is not for the faint of heart. Pulling a perfect shot is as much a science as it is an art form. Come to think of it, the same can be said for brewing beer. Of course, both coffee and beer have certain, shall we say ‘uplifting’ qualities. Combine the two is a natural progression.
Southern Tier 2X Presso is a winter seasonal in 12oz bottles.
Style: Milk Stout (w/ Coffee, Lemon Peels, Lactose.)
Availability: 12oz Bottles, Draft.
Released: January, 2015

The Bruery Sourrento Now Available to Members
The Bruery is now offering Sourrento, a sour ale inspired by the spirit Limoncello, to their Reserve and Preservation Society members.
Sourrento is a sour ale that was inspired by the lemon flavored spirt, Limoncello,which hails from the city of Sorrento, Italy. To create this unique, sweetly sour flavor, we aged our sour blonde ale with both lemon zest and fresh vanilla beans. The resulting beer is somewhere between a classic sour ale, a delightful Italian apertif, and a lemon meringue pie.
The Bruery Sourrento is available in 750ml bottles, for $16.99.
Style: Sour/Wild Ale (w/ Lemon Zest, Vanilla Beans. Oak Aged)
Availability: 750ml bottles
Arrival: December, 2014

Widmer Brothers & 10 Barrel Brewing Create “Fizz”
Widmer Brothers Brewing (Portland, OR) celebrates 30 years of craft brewing with a series of collaborations. The third collab is with 10 Barrel Brewing out of Bend, Oregon.
Meet Widmer Fizz, an interesting hybrid beer. Fizz is brewed with Meyer lemons, fresh ginger, and finished with champagne yeast. The result is an effervescent, bubby, summer offering.
“We got together with the 10 Barrel team, and they helped push this beer way out of the box,” said Ben Dobler, innovation brewer at Widmer Brothers Brewing. “We’re calling Fizz a ‘spritzer-style ale’ because the beer was inspired by spritzer champagne cocktails, and we feel like it’s a great description of what the beer actually delivers. The champagne yeast, Meyer lemon, and fresh ginger give it a really refreshing summertime taste.”
Widmer Brothers Fizz will be available in limited quantities in 22oz bottles, and draft.
Style: Herbed/Spice Beer (w/ Ginger, Lemons)
Availability: 22oz Bottles, Draft.
