Devils Backbone Relasing Kilt Flasher, Tectonic Barleywine & New Adventure Pack In Oct

LEXINGTON, VA – This October, Devils Backbone Brewing Company will release new seasonal beers from three different series. The next Trail Blazer brew will be Kilt Flasher, a hearty Scottish ale with a rich, warming complexity perfect for the onset of winter. The exclusive, draft-only Peak series release will be Tectonic Barleywine, a complex, well matured ale meant to be savored with each sip. And there will also be a new Adventure Pack sampler full of beers previously only available on draft at the Basecamp Brewpub & Meadows (Roseland, VA): Flor de Luna,Smokehouse Porter, Berliner Weiss, and Single Hop IPA. Craft beer drinkers will have the perfect beer for any adventure with this versatile mix of releases.

“These beers make up one of our most dynamic releases to date.  You have strong, malty, smoky, tart, floral, & hoppy flavors represented,” says Brewmaster Jason Oliver. “I’m excited to see the rich Tectonic Barleywine make it into the market, the Kilt Flasher is a personal Trail Blazer favorite of mine, and this Adventure Pack is hard to beat on diversity.”

· Kilt Flasher (8% ABV, 20 IBU)

Brown with ruby highlights, Kilt Flasher is an ale packed with toffee and toasted malt flavors. Much like the early Scottish settlers of the Virginia Highlands, it has a robustness that stands up to anything. Enjoy a pint today and expose yourself to great beer.  Brown, Robust, Toffee.

Our Trail Blazers stray from the beaten path into a world of robust and daring beers featuring bigger, bolder flavors for fueling your spirit of adventure.

Availability: Six-pack bottles and on draft October through December

· Tectonic Barleywine (11.6% ABV, 50 IBU)

We build the flavors for our complex English inspired barleywine using six imported malts and two diverse hops.  Savory, Full, Rewarding.

When you blaze a trail up a mountain, your goal is to reach the peak. We did the same with the Peak Series, our brewer’s selections that combine intensity, adventurous flavors and special brewing techniques to reach the pinnacle of the brewers’ art.

Availability: Draft only in October
