Stiegl Grapefruit Radler 16oz Cans Launching Through Louis Glunz

image
From Louis Glunz:

A year after introducing American consumers to Stiegl Radler Grapefruit, Louis Glunz Beer, Inc. will now import the refreshing drink in cans. The family-owned and operated distributor saw huge success last year with the US launch of the Stiegl Radler Grapefruit. Louis Glunz Beer, Inc. is excited to help Stiegl Brewery, Austria’s leading privately owned brewery, reintroduce the new container for the juice-lager to select states across the US just in time for the summer.

“We’re thrilled to introduce Stiegl Radler Grapefruit in cans just in time for the warm weather,” says Jerry Glunz, general manager at Louis Glunz Beer, Inc. “A Radler is a refreshing summer drink, blending full-flavored lager and real fruit juice, similar to an English shandy. It’s refreshing, low in alcohol, and now in the perfect container for whatever the summer entails.”

Christopher Losmann, export director at Stiegl, says, “Up until now, we have only sold Stiegl Radler Grapefruit in bottles, but it has proven so popular that we have decided to provide a 17 oz. can for USA markets. We’re especially excited to introduce this new format with Louis Glunz Beer, Inc. after the incredible success of last year’s launch.”

The Stiegl Radler Grapefruit is made with 100% natural ingredients and real fruit juice. A mixture of grapefruit, orange, and lemon juice gives the beverage a unique and aromatic freshness, as well its cloudy complexion. Mixing Stiegl’s signature Goldbräu lager with real fruit juice produces a refined bitterness, with a soft and pleasing fruity flavor. With only 180 calories per can and 2.0% ABV, the Stiegl Radler Grapefruit is an ideal drink for those looking for a light malt beverage. In fact, the German translation of “Radler” is “cyclist,” and the beer is often referred to as a “bicycle beer” because bicyclists prefer this style of beer as they bike the Alps.

The canned version of the Stiegl Radler Grapefruit is now available in states across the US including Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee, and Wisconsin through Louis Glunz Beer, Inc. distributors. With even more states projected to carry the cans this summer, be sure to ask for Stiegl Radler Grapefruit at your local retailer. For more information, visit www.glunzbeers.com.

Innis & Gunn - Canadian Cherrywood Aged Ale Sampling

18 May 2013

image
Thank you to Innis & Gunn for sending me an advanced sample of their new Canadian Cherrywood Finish Ale.  This small batch beer is a scotch ale aged for 49 days over Canadian Black Cherrywood.  To finish the beer, Innis & Gunn adds maple syrup

post maturation when the beer is in cold conditioning.




First off I just have to say that this beer is simply beautiful to look at.  The color is decidedly amber and almost red, and the clarity just makes it look gorgeous.  I’m never a fan of clear bottles, but in this case it really does show off the beauty of the beer.  So how does it taste? 

 



This beer to my palate is pretty unique.  The first thing that strikes you is the earthy & malty aroma.  Pleasant, but leaning toward the scents of spices and oak with a slightly tart scent.  It pours with a medium head, and the body is slightly lighter than I expected, but still very satisfying.  While this beer is a Scotch ale at it’s heart, the malty flavors are a little more subdued by the strong presence of wood, but it’s all balanced nicely by the maple syrup giving it a toffee-like finish.  There are certainly hops on board, but they are softer and more hidden behind the sweet maple syrup and caramel finish…and the beer definitely hides it’s 8.3% ABV really well.

All in all this is a really unique beer with a lot of different flavors going on.  There is complexity with temperature, so be sure to let it warm a bit and be sure to simply enjoy how good it looks before you enjoy how well it drinks.

Thank you again to everyone at Innis & Gunn for giving me the chance to try an early sample as this beer hits the U.S.

Fort Collins Releases Weizenbock, Happy Pils & Collusion Project

imageFrom Fort Collins:



Fort Collins, CO) – Fort Collins Brewing, makers of Chocolate Stout, Red Banshee, and Rocky Mountain IPA, have three new beers on tap in their Tasting Room this week.

Weizenbock, part of the limited release Tap Club series, combines the rich flavors of a dunkelweizen (dark fruit, wheat, banana, clove, and chocolate, to name a few) with the strength and body of a bock. Not only dark, this unfiltered style receives its characteristic cloudiness from suspended yeast and the high protein count of wheat malt. The signature banana and clove nose of this tremendously complex beer comes from its unique yeast strain developed in Bavaria. 

Weizenbock has an ABV of 8.3% and 25 IBUs

Happy Pils, another member of the Tap Club series, is a continental Pils that is light and slightly sweet on the tongue and finishes with refreshing dryness without being overly bitter. Perfect for the warm days of early summer, which finally seems to have arrived in the Front Range. 

Happy Pils has an ABV of 5.3% and 19 IBUs.

Collusion Project in which all breweries in the City of Fort Collins  took part to celebrate American Craft Beer Week. All breweries started out with same malt bill and collaborated with two other breweries to select the yeast, hops, and additional malts. FCB’s version, created with the help of Black Bottle Brewery and Coopersmith’s, features Apple wood and Cherry wood smoked malts to add just a hint of smoke and was aged on French Oak chips to add a black tea spice flavor. Be sure to try all the Collusion beers across Fort Collins! 

All three beers are in limited supply, so those who want to get their hands on them are advised not to delay.
