The Green Mountains are covered in white stuff thanks to a few late-season storms that revitalized the ski season. All the fresh snow has left us grinning ear-to-ear... Actually, we're not sure whether it's the snow or the Juicy IPA we're introducing this week that has us smiling.
Speaking of Juicy IPA, VT IPA is our take on the hazy, hoppy style coming from Vermont. Brewed with flaked oats and aromatic Munich malts, which deliver a smooth mouthfeel and balancing biscuit malt flavor, respectively, this is our haziest offering to date thanks to the oat-filled grist.
On the hoppy side of things, late-additions of Citra and Amarillo hops deliver distinct tangerine, mango, pineapple and grapefruit flavors that are accentuated by a soft bitterness.
To top it off, this brew utilizes a new yeast strain full of juicy esters that complement the palate pleasing hop profile. VT IPA is the culmination of hours spent on our skunkworks pilot brewing system and we can't wait to share this Green Mountain haze with you!
We sent kegs out this week, with fresh six-packs and 12-packs of 12oz. cans to follow. Come by our brewery this weekend for a pour; use our beer finder to locate near you; or check out one of our upcoming release parties (link below) to score a taste!
Blaze Box IPA Variety Pack Reimagined
We're starting spring off with a fresh mix of Blaze-inspired beers in our reimagined variety pack offering.
The new 12-pack mix includes Green Blaze IPA and two new variants: Double Dry Hopped Blazeis a side trip through the biscuit malt base with bountiful additions of Amarillo and Simcoe dry hops, while Mandarin Blaze delivers an added citrus punch. Find the blaze at your favorite Long Trail retailer for a limited time!
Night Goat Comes Alive
Night Goat started as our quality director's pet project. Long a fan of funky dark beers and sludgy dark music, Brandon used our Unearthed American stout as a base for experimental fermentation.
A blend of wild yeast and souring bacteria deliver funky, tart notes alongside a dark fruit and dark chocolate character. Add oak whiskey barrels to the equation and you get a complex dark sour that's quickly become a favorite among the brewers. We kegged a limited amount, so drink it if you see it.
