(Frederick, MD) – Flying Dog Brewery will add Lemongrass Rice Ale to its Brewhouse Rarities series this August. More on the beer below…

—

Light leomony character with undertones of bright herbs and freshly-cut grass set the tone for this latest release. Inspired by Thai cuisine, the brew team experimented with six different Belgian yeast strains to perfectly mimic the delicate spice from both the lemongrass and Saaz hops. Brown rice was incorporated into the mash and adds another layer of soft notes of biscuits right out of the oven. This beer is wildly complex, but balanced, and has a refreshingly dry finish.
