The Dr. Will See You Now. Terrapin Side Project #20
Introducing the 2oth release in Terrapin Beer Co’s (Athens, GA) Side Project Series – Dr. Krunkles. The lovable brewer Krunkles rides again, this time with a white IPA. This experimental IPA uses a considerable amount of wheat, a farmhouse yeast (for a little funky flavor) with a twist – white peppercorns. Oh yeah, and it’s finished on White Ash oak staves. A complex, yet fun drinker in the heat perhaps?
Straight from the Orient and into the brewing ingredient R&D field comes the next incarnation of the most beloved IPA brewer on the planet, Dr. Krunkles. The Dr. is in with a new White Farmhouse IPA that has ordinary brewmasters bending over and sing “Moon River” in his honor. Dr. Krunkles White Farmhouse IPA reaches new heights in complexity and flavor by combining the malt and spices of a Belgian Witbier, the yeast of a Farmhouse Ale and the hoppy goodness of an American IPA. Dr. Krunkle’s twisted touch is a dash of white peppercorn and then wood aging on white ash.
Style: White IPA (w/ White Peppercorn, Oak Aged)
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft
Arrival: August, 2013

Elysian to Debut Oddland Series, Peppercorn Saison
Elysian Brewing would like to introduce a new series to their collection.
The Oddland Series will produce brews intermittently that will feature strage ingredients. Expect to see everything from peppercorns to cardamom and all in-between. This will be a collaborative effort with Seattle artist Jim Woodring.
“Here’s how the whole thing works. Head Brewer Dick Cantwell and his brainstormy gang get an idea; they run it by Woodring, who sketches his two cents’ worth and sends it on back; then the recipe is tweaked, the ingredients secured, suggestions made as to visual format, and away we all go, to Oddland.”
The first beer in the series, Peppercorn Saison, will launch mid-May and features white, green, black, and pink peppercorns.
Style: Saison
Availability: 22oz bottles
Arrival: May 2013
