Peak Brewing Adds New Beers, Bombers

Peak Organic Brewing Company’s first bomber bottles just arrived.  Only one other time has the brewery released a large format bottle, years ago for a special release.  There are 2 offerings – King Crimson & Hop Noir.  Weiss Principal is slated for the 3rd release in 22’s.

King Crimson – Imperial Red Ale, 9%.  First released 3 years ago for a few select New England beer fests, the popularity was instant.  Last year found a wider release of Crimson to more tap handles.  This year, the brewery even made more & for the first time bottled it.

King Crimson is an Imperial Red Ale that delivers a royal bounty of luscious, fruity American hops on top of a sturdy, deep red malt backbone. This beer is lavishly dry-hopped with Simcoe, adding a citrusy and piney flavor and aroma to the toasty, sweet malt notes. This special treat is a very limited release, so enjoy it while you can!

Hop Noir – American Black Ale (Black IPA), 8.2%.  Peak’s first “black IPA.” A big roasty malt profile, big on hops.

Hop Noir is a delectable Black IPA, dripping with piney, aromatic Centennial hops. The malt base is dark and rich, anchored by organic black malt. This provides a strong foundation for the extravagant kettle hopping and dry-hopping that this beer experiences. Enjoy with a night-light.

Availability: 22oz bombers. Draft. Both limited.

100% organic hops & malts
