Ballast Point Brewing (San Diego, CA) is releasing their first 2011 batch of Victory at Sea Coffee Vanilla Imperial Porter today. Bottles go on sale at Starting at 11am (Cali time). Victory At Sea is an imperial porter brewed with fresh coffee and vanilla.
Two of the world’s oldest beverages join forces to conquer your palate. Victory as Sea embodies the art of masterful brewing by infusing a velvety Imperial Porter with pure vanilla flavor and specially selected, band of roasted coffee. The addition of cold brewed coffee to the beer lends a subtle roasted flavor to this robust imperial porter, blending perfectly with rich vanilla and caramel undertones. By uniting two San Diego brewing traditions, Caffe Calabria freshly brewed coffee and Ballast Point beer, we have successfully created a artisanal masterpiece.
The Famous Narragansett Beer announces the return of its winter craft brew, Narragansett Porter. A brand staple since the early 1900s, Porter was awarded a silver medal at the 2010 World Beer Championships, America’s oldest international beer competition.
Throughout 2011, Narragansett has expanded into a number of new markets beyond its home base of New England, including Southern New York, North Carolina, East and Northeastern Pennsylvania, and Florida. Porter’s return this winter marks the first time that Narragansett’s complete roster of craft seasonals and signature lager & light beers have been made available on draught and in its signature 16oz Tallboy cans to package stores, bars & restaurants in all new markets.
Narragansett Porter is brewed under the supervision of award-winning Brewmaster Sean Larkin at Trinity Brew House in Providence, RI, Cottrell Brewery in Pawcatuck, CT, and High Falls Brewery in Rochester, NY with chinook hops for bitterness, simcoe hops for aroma, black malt, pale malt, chocolate malt, munich malt, crystal malt, roasted barley, and ale yeast. An American-style porter, this winter brew has a deliciously mild chocolate flavor with a hint of smokiness and hops to balance out the finish, making for a robust yet extremely approachable craft experience. Narragansett Porter is 7% Alcohol by Volume and 28 IBUs.
Narragansett Porter dates back to 1916 when it was first brewed, and when Prohibition struck down breweries across America in the 1920s, the Narragansett Brewing Company was one of just six given a patent by the U.S. government to continue brewing beer for medicinal purposes, based largely on the belief that porter had healing properties. Narragansett Porter was prescribed by doctors and distributed throughout New England to patients suffering from a variety of ailments, particularly blood-related illnesses like anemia. After Prohibition was repealed in the early 1930s, Narragansett Porter became a favorite of New Englanders from Fall River, MA to Falmouth, ME, and was often referred to as “‘Gansett Dark.”

A note from Troegs –
If the walls of our Tasting Room could talk there would be a never-ending supply of hilarious stories and great memories. In Tröegs’ early days we would sit in that room on Saturday afternoons hoping someone would come in. Many of those early customers still remain and we’ve made new one as well — so much so we expanded the room three times to welcome… you. Thanks for all your business over the last fourteen years. It has been a pleasure to serve you. We look forward to showing off the new digs in a few weeks and hope that we don’t have to deal with crazy snaking lines around the tasting room ever again. We will miss everything about Paxton Street — except the occasional flood waters!

Sweet New England maple syrup and a distinct pecan note define this balanced porter. The roasted character of our blend of malts complements the maple sweetness with hints of coffee and chocolate. Reddish-black in color, this full-bodied brew has a sweet and slightly nutty finish.
