Part II of today’s group of new beer labels…featuring Deschutes, Rahr and a handful of others.

Deschutes The Stoic Belgian-styled Quad: The newest beer in Deschutes Brewery’s coveted Reserve Series, The Stoic’s journey from Belgian-style Tripel to American Quad is a remarkable one. A simple German Pilsner malt bill and a low-key profile of Hallartau, Czech Saaz, and Northern Brewer hops equip you for the more distinctive aromas and flavors that lay ahead. Ingredients like Belgian candy sugar, beet and date sugars, and pomegranate molasses impart a clean, tangy sweetness. Pinot Noir and rye whiskey barrel-aging suggest notes of spice, citrus, pepper, vanilla, and toasted caramel like offerings to the gods. Unraveling the intricacies of The Stoic is evidence of a life bravely done.

August 15th / wax-dipped 22 oz. bottles and draft / 10% ABV / Available in most of Deschutes’ markets

Rahr Visionary Brew Traditional German-style Bock: The Fort Worth Weekly’s Visionary Awards are a celebration of Tarrant County artists working in a diverse set of disciplines – visual arts, film, drama, performance art, literature, fashion and multimedia. At Rahr and Sons, we believe in passion and innovation, and we applaud those who are working to make Fort Worth a more beautiful place. We’re certainly doing our best to make it a tastier place.

This German-style bock has a robust malt character and a dark amber hue. Hop bitterness is assertive – just enough to balance the malt flavor. Enjoy one in celebration of Fort Worth’s true visiionaries. 22 oz. bottles
