Beau’s announces annual FeBREWary 2016 beer releases
Vankleek Hill – Beau’s All Natural Brewing Co. today announces its beer release lineup for its annual Febrewary celebration.
“Why a beer celebration in the darkest days of winter? Because Old Man Winter needs a kick in the snowpants, that’s why! Our five-week midwinter celebration of all things craft-brewed and tasty features a brand-new Beau’s beer released every week,” says Beau’s.
INTERNATIONAL GRUIT DAY, FEB 1:
Since 2013, craft brewers with an interest in making gruit ales have banded together to mark February 1 as International #GruitDay. The day is intended to raise awareness of, and pay homage to, the historical traditions of brewing with botanicals. Check out the complete list of participating breweries and learn more about the day here. Join us at the brewery Monday February 1 at 1pm to witness the tapping of the Tyrannosaurus Gruit cask, and participate in an International Gruit Day cheers sent ’round the globe via social media!
WEEK 1, FEB 4/5:
TYRANNOSAURUS GRUIT GRUIT ALE • 5.8%
Tyrannosaurus Gruit is a red gruit ale made with hibiscus flowers and red malt. Organic spruce tips and juniper berries add a distinct experience of woodsiness and conifer resins.
WEEK 2, FEB 11/12:
EMBITTERMINT I.P.A. • 7.0%
Embitterment I.P.A. is an India Pale Ale that blends and balances the more delicate and floral characteristics of select hops and mints. Brewed with organic spearmint and peppermint.
WEEK 3, FEB 18/19:
FARM TABLE: PILS NORTH GERMAN-STYLE PILSNER • 4.7%
A traditional Pilsner with the regional characteristics of those brewed in the northern part of Germany. Less mellow or “soft” than some Pils; delivers a pleasantly snappy, bracing hop character with each sip.
WEEK 4, FEB 25/26:
ELEPHANT MONSOON PEANUT BUTTER & GRAPE PORTER • 6.7%
A delicious duo meets a classic beer style in what we are calling a “PB & Grape” porter. The nicely roasted malt character of a Porter ale gets a fun, flavourful twist with the addition of organic peanut butter and concord grape juice.
WEEK 5, MAR 3/4:
KORU BELGIAN-STYLE PALE ALE • 6.0%
Koru boasts interesting spicy, peppery yeast notes, with tropical fruit inflections from New Zealand Rakau and Nelson-Sauvin hops. Complex and tasty, with a dry finish.
