[8/2 Update: Both Avery Ale to the Chief and Lagunitas We’re Only In It for the Money are both in stores. Call around for availability.]
Avery Brewing announced in its most recent newsletter that it will debut one beer this summer and re-release another early this fall. Avery The Beast Grand Cru, a Belgian-style Strong Ale, will return to store shelves around September 15. The brewery will also debut a hoppy 8.5% American Pale Ale in mid-July to celebrate the upcoming elections and a new president. A RateBeer page has been created for Avery Ale to the Chief with complete label information.
Lagunitas Brewing will soon release its next beer in the Frank Zappa series. The beers, paying tribute to Zappa’s career one record at a time, have earned the brewery some of its most respectable beer ratings to date. The fourth installment, Lagunitas We’re Only In It For the Money, was supposed to come out last month according to the web site, but the beer just got label approval two weeks ago. Rumor is that the beer may not go out until July.
Tyranena Brewing revealed in its latest newsletter that it brewed Tyranena Scurvy late this past week. “Thinking we will be going with a fairly straightforward malt profile (although a bit bigger than Bitter Woman) to really showcase the hops and orange peel.” Scurvy will be available beginning in mid-June.
