Flying Dog Brewhouse Rarities Ginger Beer Coming 5/13

From Flying Dog:

This beer has no soul. 

Now that that’s out of our system, let’s get down and dirty with Ginger Beer, the redheaded stepchild that is our latest Brewhouse Rarities release. 

Ginger Beer was the brainchild of (you guessed it) two resident gingers: Steve Brockwell, a brewer, and Torie Sullivan, a tour guide. They were inspired by organic ginger sodas and aimed to make an adult version by crafting a Belgian-style table beer. Along with fresh ginger pulp, orange peel was added to the beer to play off of the Belgian yeast strain used in primary fermentation and the Japanese Sake yeast used to finish. To make it perfect for the summer months that lie ahead, Ginger Beer is effervescent, refreshing, and snappy. 

Here are specifics:

• 6.6% ABV
• 25 IBU
• Specialty malts: Imported Pilsner, Malted White Wheat, Light Caramel
• Hops: Perle, Cascade
• Yeast: Belgian Bastogne and Japanese Sake
• Special ingredients: Fresh ginger pulp and orange peel

We have a special, pre-brewery release tapping of Ginger Beer for SAVOR this Thursday, May 8 at The Big Hunt in Washington, DC. From there, it will premiere on tap for samples and growler fills Tuesday, May 13 at the brewery.
