Southern Tier’s “Live” Pale Ale

Southern Tier Live Pale Ale

Southern Tier looks to add an interesting twist to the pale ale style.  A little bit of bottle conditioning.  Bottling conditioning is the act of adding extra sugar and yeast to the bottle to condition the beer after it’s filled.  Due to the presence of the yeast, the beer develops and changes slightly overtime.  Live is a fitting name, as the beer is very much active straight up  to the time you pour it in your glass.  Bottle conditioned beers have a longer shelf life, as opposed to a filtered beer.

Brewed with 4 varieties of malts, and 4 varieties of malts.  

Style: Pale Ale
Availability:  22oz bombers
Arrival: TBA

5.5% ABV 

note: The above is tentative.  Subject to change at whim of the brewer, the beer, or the barrel.

From out of a black hole, miraculously escaping and arriving in exquisite condition, we are pleased to announce the re-release of “Barrel Aged Odin’s Raven” in 22 oz. bottles. This batch is 100% barrel aged, not blended, and has a more pronounced bourbon influence. Bottle limits of 4 in the brewery and no samples available there. As soon as we run out of “Token” in the pub we will put some “Barrel Aged Odin’s Raven” on for samples and tulips. We will run out of “Token” today, sometime.

Some other beers to be aware of – 

Friday June 1st –  “Bad Boy” will be available for growlers and pints at the pub.

Another newbie: “New Millenium.”  Pale ale, 5% ABV.  We dry hop this light pale ale with Millennium and Galaxy hops for an out of this world flavor and aroma experience.

On deck –  “Good” barleywine.   Some “Good” is going into bourbon barrels.  Next year, you’ll see it as – “Great.”
