Great news form our pal Chris Wilson @ Weyerbacher….(from Bill Bragg):
It’s been seventeen years since Dan Weirback decided to brew beer for a living – and WOW, what a ride!
This new brew commemorates our seventeenth anniversary. As with all of our anniversary brews, the aptly-named “Seventeen” is 10.5% abv. It’s a saison-style, too… so we’re going with the term “Super Saison!” Seventeen is brewed with grapefruit peel, sweet and bitter orange peel, lemon peel and pink peppercorns and is delightfully refreshing for such a big brew!
Seventeen will be available at select locations during Philly Beer Week and will debut this weekend (Friday 6/1 and Saturday 6/2) at the Visitors Center for sale in 12 oz bottles and growlers.
Seventeen is a Saison Ale brewed with pink peppercorns, orange zest, lemon zest, and grapefruit zest. Brewed to the classic “Weyerbacher anniversary requirement” of a strength of 10% abv or more, Seventeen weighs in at a style-obliterating 10.5% abv. Seventeen releases subtle notes of fruit, berry and pepper upon pouring. You’ll notice a balanced sweetness with a touch of citrus and spice with a dry and peppery finish.
Seventeen is a once-and-done release only and will not be here for long! This style of beer should age very, very well. Be sure to get some before it’s gone!
