Today’s edition features Boston Beer Co., Three Floyds, Southern Tier Brewing with one-liners/links on Sierra Nevada, Firestone Walker, Ithaca Beer Co., Free State Brewery and American Brewing.


Boston Beer Co. / Samuel Adams now has an official page of sorts up for its Infinium collaboration with Weihenstephan (you may be asked to cross the age barrier of death a couple times before getting there). There is one short video up on the project and three more will be released over the next month. A Washington Post report from late last month says that the beer will hit shelves in the U.S. in late November. That date seems to fit with the dates that the videos will be released on the website. It will be released in Germany in mid-November.

…Per today’s Three Floyds blog post, there are four new beers on tap, one of which is The Creeper Doppelbock which I’ve covered before. Here are the details on the other three:

Chocolate City – Robert the Bruce scottish style ale aged for one year in a Woodford Reserve Bourbon Barrel on Marion Berries. Very Rare, Very Cool 9% abv

Aotearoa – A medium bodied, deep amber colored ale brewed with 100% aromatic malts and all New Zealand hop varieties. 6% a.b.v. 73 IBU

Hell’s Black Intelligencer – An oatmeal stout brewed with Intelligentsia coffee. “Richard yet lives, Hell’s Black Intelligencer” – Queen Margaret, Richard III, – W.S. 6%, 28 IBU, 10 oz glass coffee mug

Southern Tier Brewing reported on Twitter that Blackwater Series Oatmeal Stout came off the bottling line this week. In addition, demand for Pumking was so high that the brewery made 3x as much this year as it did last year. Winter seasonals are coming soon (this month) which should knock some pumpkin beers to the clearance racks.

…The Full Pint got some feedback from Sierra Nevada Brewing HQ on the polarizing Estate Homegrown Ale (polarizing because some feel the $10 price point is unusual for Sierra Nevada).

Ithaca alpHapHa will be released at the brewery on Friday per a brewery email.

Firestone Walker has the final blend nailed down for 14 but won’t officially reveal it prior to the release according to a brewery rep.

Free State Brewery will start distributing its beers in Wichita.

…Washington Beer Blog has a lengthy write-up on the in-progress American Brewing Company in Edmonds, WA.
