Almanac, Free Will, Mikkeller, Schilling, Moonraker, Casa Agria Temescal, Ozzelfinch & Rowley Collaborate On Foudre Friends 2: Defenders Of Funk / Libra Charm / Rocktoberfest / Disco Daze IPA / Fruit Cobbler / Boost / Speak of The Scorpio

This morning I have a new mega-collaboration coming from Almanac Beer in Alameda, CA. This is Foudre Friends 2: Defenders Of Funk and it will be a collaboration with Free Will, Mikkeller, Schilling, Moonraker, Casa Agria Temescal, Ozzelfinch & Rowley Brewing. The beer will be a tart farmhouse ale aged in oak foudres with fig juice and dry-hopped with Motueka hops. This collab will hit 6.5%-AbV and you’re looking at the 16oz can. I’ve also added in the non-collaborations Libra Charm sour IPA with cherries, strawberries, nectarines, peaches, apricots, apriums and dry-hopped with Sultana (7.4%-AbV, 16oz cans), Rocktoberfest German-style lager (5%-AbV, 16oz cans), Fruit Cobbler sour farmhouse ale aged in oak barrels with peaches, nectarines and spices (16oz cans, 5.7%-AbV), Boost imperial stout with coffee and vanilla beans (9%-AbV, 16oz cans), Speak of Scorpio sour IPA (7.2%-AbV, 16oz cans) & Disco Daze IPA west coast IPA dry-hopped with Nelson Sauvin (6.2%-AbV, 16oz cans). Stay tuned for release timing.

    This 29 Oct 2020 update from Almanac:

BOOST is a bold and decadent imperial stout turbocharged with coffee and vanilla beans. It’s ultra-smooth with rich notes of chocolate and coffee that will awaken your senses!

For each batch of BOOST, we partner with a new coffee roaster. For the latest batch we teamed up with Alchemy Coffee Collective, a Black, Queer, and Trans worker-owned café & roaster doing amazing things for the coffee industry and local East Bay community. Check them out for all your caffeine needs! ️

We could all use a BOOST from time to time. Pick up a 4-pack at the taproom, open 7 days a week for beer to-go or get a 12-pack shipped directly to your doorstep.

We were blown away by how much you all enjoyed Gemini Mind Trick, so we decided to start a brand new line of astrologically themed hoppy sours in a can! Libra Charm is the second installment and we truly cannot wait to share it with you!

Libra Charm is an enchantingly complex and delicately balanced brew. Existing somewhere between a fruited sour and a hoppy IPA, this cosmically flavorful charmer may be the perfect combination. Aged with the ripest summer peaches, apriums, apricots, and dry-hopped with Sultana for intense aromas of citrus, pineapple and pine. Pair this treat with fine art, friendship, and idealism.

If you’ve shied away from sour IPAs, we think both Gemini Mind Trick and Libra Charm are a great opportunity to give them a go! Both beers use hops that accentuate the natural flavors of the fruits, making them more aromatic and tropical, rather than adding the biting bitterness that hops can sometimes be known for.

From Almanac on 23 Sep 2020:

Hop lovers, music fans, and dancing queens, this one’s for YOU! Disco Daze IPA is a righteous celebration for your tastebuds, packed with Nelson Sauvin hops that make this delightful West Coast IPA dance with nuanced aromas of citrus peel, lychee, and freshly crushed berries.

"Nelson hops have a magical flavor quality. No other hop can replace the intense gooseberry, white wine, and sour diesel punch in hop aroma and flavor. We’re grateful to be able to use these epic hops this year to bring you brews unlike any Almanacs that have come before!" – Phil Emerson, Almanac Brewmaster & Hop Whisperer

Enjoy this exceptionally refreshing brew by turning the speakers all the way up, sweating to the oldies, and getting your groove on. Disco Daze is available NOW to ship as a 12 or 24 pack or in a brand new IPA Mixed Pack also featuring ultra-limited Stratagizer DIPA & Time Bender DIPA.
