From Fort Collins:
Fort Collins, Colo. -- The Fort Collins Brewery, along with Gravity 1020
Modern Tavern is excited to announce the release of the 5th chapter to the Out of
the Ashes (OOA) series, Smoked IPA on Friday, June 13th.
Smoked IPA mingles a soft sweet smoke with citrus zest in the aroma, each
fighting for dominance. Strong hop bitterness cuts through at the end to keep this
beer clean, bright and full of flavor. FCB utilizes hand-crafted malts from Copper
Fox Distillery (Sperryville, Va.) to process a floor malted, dried in a traditional
wood-fired kiln, and smoked by smoldering select local fruitwoods on top of the
Distillery kiln room’s cast iron stove to create the unique flavor palate of the
Smoked IPA.
The 5th OOA edition will be packaged in bombers, as well as in draft for a
select number of bars and restaurants, true to tradition for the smoked series.
• ABV: 5.8%
• SRM: 12
• IBU: 74
Out of the Ashes is a bomber series of limited release beers that showcase
the varied and unique flavors and aromas delivered from malt smoked over
wood-burning fires. This series was created to be shared with food and friends.
The Smoked IPA adds to an awarding winning series following FCB’s
previous installments of Out of the Ashes brews; Rauchbier, Mesquite Chili Lime
Ale, Smoked Rye Porter and the Smoked Märzen. OOA received two gold medals
in the Smoked Beer, Flavored category from the BTI World Beer Championships
in 2013 with Rauchbier and Mesquite Chili Lime.
