We brought you a peek at the label for the New Belgium / Red Rock brewing Co-brewed Lips of Faith Paardebloem beer, and now comes word from New Belgium that is is available now:
Paardebloem is the newest Lips of Faith beer. A collaboration with Red Rock Brewing, spiced with dandelions by the handful. You should grab a bottle, you know, if you like beer and stuff.…
Using dandelion greens to bitter a Belgian-style ale blossomed from our brewers collaborating with Red Rock Brewing. These being our sixth interpretation together since 2008, expect a wonderfully complex ale fermented with wild Belgian yeast and blended with just a touch of wood-aged beer. Bitterness imparted from dandelion greens and grains of paradise will have you blowing wishes for sips.
