(Chicago, IL) – It’s going to be a fun-filled winter at Half Acre Beer Co.
[11/30 Update: The brewery will release Big Hugs this Friday. “Growlers will $17 for refills & $21 if you need to purchase the growler, as well. 22oz bomber bottles will be $10.99 each.” Tickets will also go on sale for On Photon that day.]
* First off, per Twitter, the brewery will release Thunder and Son Brown Ale in 22’s and on draft/for growler fills this Friday at 12pm.
* Per the blog, “Next out of the pipeline is a porter called The S.S Simon Short that we should be releasing next Friday. The S.S. is a porter with some base earthiness that shouts out to the Fuggles and Goldings we used to hop the beer. It’s still taking shape but we’re excited by what we’ve tasted so far.”
* The label artwork for the 2010 edition of Big Hugs Imperial Stout is completed as you can see above. That is one mean-looking kitty compared to last year’s label. The brewery hasn’t announced release details yet but dropped a huge hint on Twitter last week: “On Dec 18, 2010, there will be an event of magnitude hosted by Half Acre at our brewery. 300 tickets. Details will follow – you should come.” That falls on a Saturday.
* Finally, it looks like Over Ale is the next beer to appear in cans and that label artwork is wrapping up if it hasn’t already. You can view a fraction of the label here. Then take a peak at the detail going into those background tiles here. Stay tuned.
