Wicked Weed Lunatic Blonde Belgian ale & Napoleon Complex Hoppy Pale ale will go year-round in Feb 2016
“When we first talked about crafting Belgian beers for our portfolio, open fermentation was really important to us,” explains Walt Dickinson, owner and Head Blender, “We wanted to craft beers that felt like the Old World, but with a New World perspective.

It’s all about yeast character and fermentation.”
“We’re so excited to finally make this beer on a larger scale and invite people understand why a Belgian blonde is such a special style. I think it’s one of those beers that is often forgotten about, but it’s so beautiful, delicate, and important. At the core of every regional beer style is simplicity and drinkability, and really, that’s the beginning point of beer.” 
“We wanted to take down and revisit the pale ale. We found that we prefer the backbone of a pale ale with the aggressive hop nature that an IPA brings to the table. We crafted Napoleon Complex to be very nouveau; this is where we see pale ale going and, for us, it’s a beer we want to drink every day.”
Consumers can expect to see both Lunatic Blonde and Napoleon Complex on draught and in 6 packs year round across the state in North Carolina and Georgia starting in mid February. Both brews will be widely available in bottle shops and select grocery stores. The addition of these two beers bring the flagship total to five core beers that include Freak of Nature Double IPA, Gluten
