612Brew Mary Ann – Coming 3/26

MINNEAPOLIS, MN – March 24, 2013/mbb/ – On the heels of 612Brew’s first two seasonal beer offerings—Bitter Cold Winter IPA Series #1 and Main Stage Amber Ale—Northeast Minneapolis’ newest brewery is excited to launch one of its most interesting and long-awaited brews, Mary Ann, to the public at Edina Grill on Tuesday, March 26 at 6 p.m. The following day, 612Brew will release Mary Ann in the taproom on draft and make it available for growler sales.

Mary Ann is 612Brew’s spring/summer seasonal offering. The beer is the brewery’s first lager, brewed with Pilsen and wheat malts, Noble hops and over 70 pounds of ginger. Wait. What? You read that right. Seventy pounds of fresh, hand-grated ginger is added directly into the boil. This beer isn’t infused with ginger – it’s brewed with it for an all-out flavor and aroma assault. Think ginger ale meets beer. This light lager is low alcohol at 4.1% ABV and amazingly refreshing.

The Edina Grill chefs will use the Mary Ann in food selections for the release to pair with the beer. 612Brew’s SIX American Pale Ale and Main Stage Amber Ale will also be on tap during the event. “We’re excited to release this beer at Edina Grill, a restaurant that has been supportive of 612Brew and other Minnesota beers,” said 612Brew co-founder and brewer Robert Kasak.
