Sierra Nevada West Latitude Session Rye, for Beer Camp
Sierra Nevada West Latitude Session Rye will be part of the new Beer Camp Across America mixed pack in May, 2016.
The last round of Beer Camp Across America in 2014 featured 12 hand-picked breweries that created their own unique beer. In 2016, 30 breweries come together to collaborate, paired by geographic locations.
Sierra Nevada West Latitude Session Rye features five Northern California breweries (plus Hawaii) – a collaboration with Bear Republic, Maui Brewing, Faction Brewing, Magnolia Gastropub & Brewery, and Mad River Brewing Co. The team has created a low ABV session ale brewed with hibiscus.
Sierra Nevada West Latitude Session Rye combines our Californian Left Coast love of fruity hops with a touch of Hawaiian “aloha” from the addition of hibiscus flowers, all anchor by robust malts and spicy rye. This session beer is light in body and looks large, like the long shadows of the western sun.
Sierra Nevada West Latitude Session Rye will be a 12 ounce bottle offering in May, a part of the brewery’s Beer Camp Across America 12 pack. The beer will also be featured at the special Beer Camp events across the country.
Style: Pale Ale (w/ Hibiscus)
Availability: 12oz Bottles, Draft.

Ballast Point Mango Even Keel released in cans
Ballast Point Mango Even Keel, a fruited spin on the brewery’s session (lower ABV) IPA has been released.
The San Diego based brewery has been releasing new renditions of many of their year round beers, including Pineapple Sculpin, Grapefruit Sculpin, & Habanero Sculpin. This edition takes Even Keel, a 3.8% alcohol by volume session IPA, and infuses it with mango.
Ballast Point Mango Even Keel is the ideal beer for easy drinking. This hoppy, sessionable ale gets a flavor boost from mango, which perfectly plays off the citrusy hop bouquet. With fruit, hops, and a low ABV, this beer is truly on another level.
Ballast Point Mango Even Keel has begun shipping in 12 ounce cans.
