Last week, NoDa Brewing (Charlotte, NC) excitedly released Imperial Coco Loco. This is the 3rd bottle release by the growing brewery. Imperial Coco is based of the Great American Beer Festival silver medal winning recipe, but pumped up. More malts, more cacao, more coconut. Bottles have already been released at the brewery, expect more at retail this week.
This is the Imperial version of our 2012 Great American Beer Festival Silver Medal winning Robust Porter Coco Loco. By keeping the same English brown and chocolate malts from our original recipe, but greatly increasing the amounts used and adding nearly double the amount of hand roasted organic coconut and cacao nibs, we achieve an amplified version of our beloved robust porter. Rich, dark and layered with chocolate, coconut and roasty notes, this beer is full of flavor yet balanced as well. A great beer before, during or after a meal!
Style: Porter (w/ Cacao Nibs, Coconut)
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft. (Limited)
Arrival: Already on sale at NoDa, Bottles at distributors this week

Southern Tier Brewing (Lakewood, NY) is adding to the infamous Blackwater Series. The series is home to the likes of Creme Brulee and Choklat.
Plums are a diverse group of species, with somewhere between 19 & 40 varieties depending upon whom you ask. We’re using what we consider to be the best to brew with. The Italian plum has beautiful dark skin & the flesh is perfect for fermentation.
MOODY & EVOCATIVE
Plum Noir’s mild sweetness is derived not necessarily from the plums, but from the many malts we use. A bit of plum flavor is present as well as earthy, toasted grains, & hints of caramel with mild coffee overtones
Style: Imperial Porter (w/ Italian Plums)
Availability: 22oz bombers, Draft
Arrival: Summer, 2013

From Ten Ninety:
Created in 18th century London, porters were some of the first mass-produced and consumed beers of the industrial revolution. Porter evolved from a blend of brown and darker beers that were precursors to stouts. Tradition has it that these beers were favored by porters and other physical laborers.
Ten Ninety Imperial Porter is fiery elegance. Our porter is brewed with ample Munich, mild brown and de-bittered black malts for a chocolaty, espresso base. To contrast this bittersweet backbone, we added an ample dose of cayenne pepper, and tempered this heat with tart pomegranate juice.
Ten Ninety Imperial Porter is a perfect match for bold, smoky and cured meats as well as deeply roasted fowl and caramelized seafood.
