(Placentia, CA) – Note that these do not include the Flemish Red that I mentioned a few weeks ago! The Bruery recently announced on its newly-minted website that two new seasonals, one to come this winter and one to come next spring. The first, which some have already read about, is called Partridge in a Pear Tree.

Website description: “Our holiday beer is a Belgian-style Dark Strong Ale, brewed with our brewery-made dark candi sugar, Munich and Vienna malts. Dark brown in color, fruity and complex with a rich malt backbone. This is a simple yet immensely complex beer meant to be savored and shared with friends and family.

ABV: 12%, IBU: 20, SRM: 20, Release: Winter”

The black label mentions that this could age for a dozen years and quips that this could be made into a series (but I just can’t picture ‘The Bruery Geese a Laying,’ can you?).

The other new brew will be called Saison De Lente (Saison of spring). Website description:

“Our Spring Saison is light blonde in color with a fresh hoppiness and a wild and rustic Brettanomyces character. Lighter in color and alcohol than our Saison Rue, yet equally complex in its own way. Perfect for warmer weather and Spring celebrations.

ABV: 6.5%, IBU: 35, SRM: 4, Release: Spring”

And in case you missed their blog post on Monday: “Our beers are now distributed in Oregon, and are making their way around Portland as we speak. In a few weeks, our beers will also be available in San Francisco, Marin, Sonoma, Napa and Solano Counties.”
