From Weyerbacher:
Riserva 2014 will debut Thursday, March 27th at noon! The Visitors Center will only have a very limited amount since there is so much demand for it through our wholesalers. So if you plan to pick some up at the brewery, don’t wait! Even though the last batch we produced was dated 2012, this offering is Riserva 2014 since the aging process has pulled the release later and later each year. Don't worry - you didn’t miss a batch, we just got caught up to the right name for the right year! Riserva 2014, like all Riserva releases in the past, will be a unique brew. Due to the extended barrel aging and the wild nature of the microflora used to sour this beer, each year’s release can be quite different. Look for it in late March or early April. If you’re local, stop by the Visitors Center for a free sample!
Camelopardalis (meaning Camel Leopard AKA Giraffe) is the next installment in the Brewers’ Select Series. Debuting Friday, March 7th at noon at Weyerbacher’s Visitors Center!
With a deceptively low bitterness measurement of just 40 IBU and a whopping 10.2% ABV, this Belgian-style Imperial IPA sports huge aromatic notes of orange, coconut and tropical fruits (thanks to the whirlpool blast of over 200 pounds of Hopsteiner OCC Experimental and Simcoe Hops!). It’s vinous, leggy and has a nice, fluffy white head. The dry, malty backbone is courtesy of a 100% North American pale malt grain bill fermented with a Belgian wheat beer yeast. Esters of green apple linger on your palate. The bitterness doesn’t hang out too long, so it makes for a great pairing with delicate foods as well as spicy dishes. This beer was brewed to be consumed immediately, so please do not age it at all! Enjoy it fresh, enjoy it now!
Camelopardalis will be available on draft in extremely limited quantities in restaurants and bars in early March. 12 oz. bottles are available exclusively at the Visitors Center. We’ll fill growlers too!
