(Fort Bragg, CA) – In short, North Coast Twentieth Anniversary Ale still remains a bit of a mystery. A small photo of the label popped up on the North Coast Brewing site recently with a ‘Coming Soon’ message over it. And the twentieth anniversary party was earlier this month. One would think there would be more info on the beer available at this point but that isn’t the case. After brief correspondence with President and Brewmaster, Mark Ruedrich, the release appears to be a wait-and-see thing. What we do know about the Twentieth Anniversary Ale is that a) it is an “ale brewed with agave nectar,” b) it will be released only at the brewery in 500 mL bottles, and c) it has an ABV of 11.8%. Signs would appear to point to an old ale of some kind since that seems to be North Coast‘s specialty. I’ll provide another update when I have more.
