March 5, 2015•Portland, Maine’s Peak Organic Brewing Company is eyeing the growing trend of sessionable beers with its latest release of Peak Nitro Stout. The 4.7%-abv stout is a blend of local Pale, Wheat, Black, Crystal 60, Munich and Chocolate malts and features a toasted black malt flavor and airy mouthfeel, the company says. The latest malt-focused offering is meant to complement Peak Organic’s current portfolio of hop-forward craft beers, which includes Summer Session, Fresh Cut and the Saison series. Peak Nitro Stout is available this spring nationwide on draft only.
•San Francisco, California-based Anchor Brewing Company is bringing back its Anchor Saison Spring Ale, which first debuted as a limited release in March 2014. The Belgian-style ale (7.2% abv) is created with locally cultured saison-style yeast with the addition of California lemongrass, lemon peel and ginger for herbal spiciness and citrus flavors, the company says. The beer’s label was inspired by beer- and fruit-crate labels from the late 1800s and features an original hand-colored 1873 lithograph of the Golden Gate Bridge. Anchor Saison Spring Ale is available nationwide in six-packs and on draft.
