21st Amendment & Elysian’s Second Can Collab

21A HeSaid-Lager_Can

21st Amendment and Elysian Brewing have two different collaborations coming out in cans soon. Both collaborations are called He Said and have similar artwork, but the insides are stylistically different. One is a Belgian style tripel with pumpkin and spices. The second is actually a Baltic porter, lager brewed (that’s a departure from how it is actually brewed) with pumpkin and spices.  Two different imaginative, pumpkin-y takes on some old school styles.

Style: Baltic Porter (w/ Pumpkin, Spices)
Availability: 12oz Cans
Arrival: TBA

A Beer with Chocolate & Lobster [VIDEO]

Dogfish Head (Milton, DE) brewed an oyster stout for a special event years ago, and thanks to the weather, they got stuck drinking all 85 kegs. Not wanting to drink another oyster stout again, founder Sam Calagione goes back to his Maine roots, and brewed a different beer featuring a different crustacean – the lobster.

That, plus cocoa nibs creates Choc Lobster, a brewpub exclusive that will also be at the 2013 Great American Beer Festival.

The base beer is a porter, brewed with “dos” chocolates – cocoa powder and aged for a month on cocoa nibs. Look for it on draft and 22oz bombers in Terrapin territories now.
