Fort Collins Releases Smoked India Pale Ale

Fort Collins, Colo. — The Fort Collins Brewery, along with Gravity 1020

Modern Tavern is excited to announce the release of the 5th chapter to the Out of

the Ashes (OOA) series, Smoked IPA on Friday, June 13th.

Smoked IPA mingles a soft sweet smoke with citrus zest in the aroma, each

fighting for dominance. Strong hop bitterness cuts through at the end to keep this

beer clean, bright and full of flavor. FCB utilizes hand-crafted malts from Copper

Fox Distillery (Sperryville, Va.) to process a floor malted, dried in a traditional

wood-fired kiln, and smoked by smoldering select local fruitwoods on top of the

Distillery kiln room’s cast iron stove to create the unique flavor palate of the

Smoked IPA.

The 5th OOA edition will be packaged in bombers, as well as in draft for a

select number of bars and restaurants, true to tradition for the smoked series.

• ABV: 5.8%

• SRM: 12

• IBU: 74

Out of the Ashes is a bomber series of limited release beers that showcase

the varied and unique flavors and aromas delivered from malt smoked over

wood-burning fires. This series was created to be shared with food and friends.

The Smoked IPA adds to an awarding winning series following FCB’s

previous installments of Out of the Ashes brews; Rauchbier, Mesquite Chili Lime

Ale, Smoked Rye Porter and the Smoked Märzen. OOA received two gold medals

in the Smoked Beer, Flavored category from the BTI World Beer Championships

in 2013 with Rauchbier and Mesquite Chili Lime.
