Green Flash Retro Extra Pale Launches 5/16

Green Flash Brewing turns 10 years old this fall.  The brewery is debuting a Retro Extra Pale Ale in honor of their first successful release – Pale Ale.

Fall 2012 marks our 10 year anniversary and Extra Pale Ale was the first-ever Green Flash success.  A celebratory reminder of the beginning for us – and also about  how much our style and craft beer culture has evolved over the past decade.  While this early Millennium American-Style Pale is from a time less hoppy, we think our 2012 redux is the perfect summer vintage:  crisp, refreshing and bubbling with nostalgia.

Style: Pale Ale
Availability: 12 oz bottles, Draft.
Arrival: May 16th, 2012

Another Evil Twin Tribute: Sønderho Hipster Ale

Perhaps you heard of a worldwide beer movement that tributes favorite hipster neighbourhoods across the globe. First came Istedgade, then Sodermalm followed by Williamsburg and Shoreditch accompanied by Trastevere & El Ravel. This Hipster ale was dry-hopped with Citra, Summit, & Cascade – perfect as a tribute to our favorite up-and-coming Hipster neighborhood, Sonderho, DK.  Cheers to picture-perfect white sandy beaches, the Wadden Sea, and thatched-roof homes. Beware first movers!
