Olde Hickory Releases Lindley Park This Week

Olde Hickory Brewing Company (Charlotte, NC) releases Lindley Park this week. Lindley is an imperial stout brewed with raspberries, honey and aged in bourbon barrels. 

Lindley Park is a sublime state of mind, captured & bottled for your enjoyment. An imperial stout brewed with honey and with raspberries added, then aged in oak barrels; the resultant flavor is a delectable marriage of chocolate and raspberries. It was inspired by our appreciation for retailers who have supported us & craft beer. We hope you’ll continue to support them and your local breweries.

The Next Avery Barrel Aged: Odio Equum

Avery Odio Equum

Avery Brewing’s Barrel Aged Series will soon find a new member – Odio Equum. Number 13 in the series, Odio Equum sour ale is brewed with raspberries and aged in wine barrels. Odio Equum translates to “Despite the horse”, perhaps a backhanded reference to “horse blanket” flavors that brettanomyces yeast can give to beer.

Such a strong and ugly word, but unfortunately true. Our vintner friend just doesn’t appreciate the depth and character of the aromas and flavors that Brettanomyces creates like we do. Like you do. But hte dude has some seriously fine Cabernet Sauvignon barrels that he shared with us to help create this wonderous sour ale. Our lucky #13 in this series. Aged for 12 months in Cabernet Sauvignon barrels.

Style: American Wild Ale (w/ Raspberries, Wine Barrel Aged)
Availability: 12 oz bottles. 465 cases produced
Arrival: To be bottled in September, 2012

7.89% ABV

Lost Abbey Gives Birth To The Devil with Track 7

It’s July which means time for another Lost Abbey Ultimate Box Set Release. Track 7 is inspired by INXS’s 1988 hit “The Devil Inside.” So what beer matches this little bundle of evil? A remix of the brewery’s Veritas 006, a wild ale.  The crew took that beer, and added raspberries, cherries and Mandarin orange zest. This baby arrives July 21, 2012. Sold only at the brewery, for consumption on site only.

It is a remix of our classic Veritas 006 aka sangria. We have raspberry and cherry providing the bulk of the fruit texture over a sour yellow base beer. To this we also added some orange peel and freshly zested mandarin orange zest as well. The beer finishes with a nice tannic finish and is truly a refreshing riff on a Lost Abbey classic.

Style: American Wild Ale (w/ Raspberries, Cherries, Orange Zest, Oak Aged)
Availability: 12.7 oz bottles. Brewery only

8.12% ABV
