(San Antonio, TX) – A bunch of news from yesterday’s Ranger Creek Brewing newsletter…

We’ve created a new line of beers that we’re calling RE: SESSION. The name is a fun play on the stressful economic realities we’re living through in addition to a response to the session beer movement going on with craft beer. The beers in the RE: SESSION line are meant to be interesting and easy drinking so you can enjoy a few in one sitting. The first two beers are on the market now in limited quantities at select bars, so give them a try and let us know what you think!

RE: SESSION IPA
The RE: SESSION IPA has a floral, fruity hop nose with a pale malt backbone that lightens the color and allows the hops to shine through. The taste is citrusy, tropical, earthy, and slightly herbal. It’s a very hop forward beer with an aggressive hop pallet that is not for the faint of heart. At 5.5% abv and 55 IBU, it’s stronger than traditional session beers but lower in alcohol than traditional American IPAs.

RE: SESSION WHEAT
The RE: SESSION Wheat is an effervescent offering with strong tropical notes and a sweet, bready body. The traditional German yeast provides some light clove phenols and cloudy appearance. Dry hopped with Citra hops and lemon verbena, it has prominent notes of lemon and pineapple that make it a sweet, light summer offering at 5.1% abv.

We’ve partnered with the Tap Exchange in San Antonio to do the first side-by-side tapping of both RE: SESSION beers, along with a Ranger Creek pint glass, for the Tap Exchange’s glass night on Tuesday, August 2nd at 6:00 pm. Beers will be $6, and you’ll get to keep the glass! It will be one of the only chances for craft beer drinkers to try both RE: SESSION beers side-by-side.

For those of you that missed the Cab and Port barrel versions of La Bestia and the MSP, do not fret! More badass barrel aged beer is out in very limited quantities. We released a Sour Peach Lager, which has Texas peach notes from the peaches that Rob put in the barrel mingling alongside tart, sour flavors. We also put out a Brett Porter, which is a crazy interesting, soured up version of our Mesquite Smoked Porter. Both beers are hard to find and tappings happen in the blink of an eye, so keep your eyes peeled.
