(Chicago, IL) – Half Acre Beer Co. and Three Floyds Brewing are collaborating on a new brew.
The two Midwestern breweries teamed up to produce Invasion Helles Bock; the beer is currently fermenting. There will be more to come on this beer I’m sure. The label features Shaolin Kung Fu fighting carp, an homage to drawing Ninja Turtles as a kid, the artist quips. This is his second label for Half Acre.
The other, featured below, just got TTB label approval and the beer, Half Acre Ginger Twin, will be on sale in 22 oz. bombers beginning this Friday. This India-style Red Ale is 6.25% ABV.

Thanks for the quick update, fixed w/ the correction at the top of the article.
Looking forward to both to these beers. Had a great interview with the folks at Half Acre last week. Great guys!
Love that label for the Invasion Helles Bock. It reminds me slightly of the Admiral Akbar character from Star Wars – “It’s a trap!”.
