Ipswich has officially released 5 Mile Rye Saison Ale. The series features locally sourced ingredients from Essex, Massachusetts. Each beer uses at least 50% MA ingredients, and at least one from within 5 miles of the brewery. Each release is completely different.
This is our most recent addition to the 5 Mile line of beers. We used Rye as our “one ingredient from within 5 Miles of the brewery”. It’s a wondrously spicy dry hopped concoction!
Stillwater Artisanal Ales just announced the Sensory Series, a new collaboration series with between Stillwater and musical artists. The first release is based on “In the End is the Beginning” By Lower Dens. Founder/Brewmaster Brian Strumke has brewed an interpretation of the song in beer form.
What is edition #1? Brian Strumke describes it as this “White but not bright” is how I described the song and that is what I have set out to create with beer itself. Light in body and color intermingled with aspects of dark fruits and a floral earthy spiciness, gently accented with a hint of smoke”
Each bottle will have a QR code linking to an exclusive performance of the song to listen to while you drink the beer.
Style: Saison (w/ Hibiscus)
Availability: 12.7 oz bottles, Draft. 35 states via Twelve Percent Imports

New Belgium’s Lips of Faith Series grows in August. Peach Porch Lounger, a musical collaboration between NB and Philadelphia’s G. Love is ready to ship. G-Love, better known as Garrett Dutton, has been home brewing since high school. Mr. Love is also a big New Belgium fan, reportedly riding a Fat Tire bike to the beach. The name? Based off of G. Love’s favorite song — Front Porch Lounger. The bottle mimics the cover of that album — The Hustle.
Peach Porch Lounger is the lovechild Saison of musician G. Love and New Belgium. The glowing orange beer is a groovy mix of peaches, hominy grits, molasses and lemon peel with pale and biscuit malts. Brettanomyces yeast brings a bold, sweet nose and the beer ends with a dry finish. ABV is 9.4%.
