(San Leandro, CA) – Another new bottled offering looks to be coming this fall from Drake’s Brewing.

Label says, “We brew a different beer style for our Jolly Rodger every year. For the 21st addition of our winter seasonal, we have made it an Imperial Red Ale. Be prepared for a big, malty, red ale, with a huge hop aroma. We mashed in with plenty of two-row barley, CaraRed and Chocolate malt for body and flavor. Then we hopped it up with Columbus for bittering, then for flavor and aroma – lots of Chinook and Cascade. Finally we dry-hopped in the fermenter with loads more Chinook and Cascade.”

The beer will be available on tap and, for the first time, in 22 oz. bottles. The beer checks in at 8% ABV and 68 IBUs. The website says that it will be available beginning in mid-November though that could be tentative. The beer was last available in bottles a few years ago.

The brewery kicked off its 22 oz. bomber program with Denogginizer early this summer.
