Craft Brewing and Distilling News for December 2, 2015
December 2, 2015•San Diego, California’s Green Flash Brewing Company is rolling out a limited edition holiday beer, Jolly Folly IPA. Green Flash’s latest release was created accidentally when liquid from two different beer tanks was inadvertently mixed, resulting in 500 barrels of the 7.7%-abv, dry-hopped brew. Jolly Folly is launching now in 22-ounce bottles and on draft nationwide. Green Flash recently told SND it expects to reach its current 100,000-barrel production capacity in the fourth quarter of this year.
•Colorado’s Breckenridge Brewery is commemorating its 25th anniversary with the launch of Twenty Five, a new limited-edition offering. Made with an imperial version of the brewer’s core Vanilla Porter label, Twenty Five is rested in Barbadian rum barrels for 10 weeks, with a quarter-pound of vanilla beans added to each cask. The 9.8%-abv entry is currently available throughout key U.S. markets, packaged in 750-ml. cork-and-cage bottles. Breckenridge Brewery, which produces around 64,000 barrels annually, has a footprint of around 32 states.
•Correction: In the November 25 issue of SND, Palm Bay International’s Roscato was incorrectly stated as rising 23.5% to 315,000 cases last year. In fact, Roscato, an Impact “Hot Brand,” grew 37% to 350,000 cases in 2014.
