This should become a weekly Friday feature. This will cover new beer release announcements and anything you need to be aware of before the following Friday (i.e., this weekend or next week’s events, releases). Unfortunately, this week was slow as molasses for beer news unless you contend that the Oberon release was a big story. The beer gods needed a breather after St. Patrick’s Day! There are only four items that stick out as BIG stories to me this week. If you disagree, feel free to comment.
1. Alesmith release party next Tuesday [updated 3/29: this is big. All three Barrel-Aged beers are in the top 50 at Rate Beer and Alesmith Barrel-Aged Speedway just happens to be in the top 50. Take the afternoon off from work!]
2. Lost Abbey Serpent’s Stout drops as early as next week (updated 3/31: definitely the case in some places still tentative but screenshots of the beer were posted this week so I have every reason to believe this is happening very shortly)
