Tequila Avion & the Heartland Brewery Create Exclusive Stout for the Holiday Season

NEW YORK — Tequila Avion┬« is excited to announce the launch of a limited edition Avion Tequila Stout, available exclusively at Flatiron Hall, a beer cellar located in New York City’s Flatiron district. After the huge success of Avion Tequila IPA in September, Flatiron Hall and Tequila Avion collaborated to develop another tequila infused expression. Avion Tequila Stout is crafted by aging award-winning Farmer Jon’s Oatmeal Stout in Tequila Avion Anejo barrels for three months, creating an ultra-rich, uniquely crafted beer. Just in time for the holiday season, New Yorkers will have the opportunity to try the exclusive stout at the acclaimed beer hall.

Avion Tequila Stout has a smooth taste with notes of dark chocolate and espresso. The use of the Tequila Avion Anejo barrels gives the stout a rich, complex flavor profile with a hint of tequila on the finish. Tequila Avion is made using exceptional Avion Agave and a proprietary ultra-slow filtration process. The liquid is then aged for two years in American oak casks to create Avion Anejo, which are the barrels the Avion Stout is aged in. The Avion Tequila Stout marks the second beer Flatiron Hall has aged using Tequila Avionbarrels, after an exclusive launch of Tequila Avion IPA this past fall.

“At Flatiron Hall, we are constantly coming up with ways to expand and elevate our beer selection. After the successful launch of the Avion Tequila IPA this fall, we wanted to continue aging our beer in barrels made with the ‘World’s Best Tasting Tequila,’ said Carey Martin, Flatiron Hall Beverage Director.

Ken Austin, Founder and Chairman of Tequila Avion, said, “Avion is always at the forefront of innovation and when approached about making a beer using our Anejo barrels, I was excited about working with Flatiron Hall, who like Avion, has a deep appreciation and dedication to superior taste. After learning that the Avion Tequila IPA sold out within days after its release, we seized the opportunity to continue this partnership and develop the Avion Stout for the holiday season.”

Avion Tequila Stout is available exclusively at Flatiron Hall for a limited time only.

About Tequila Avion

Tequila Avion┬« is the ultra-premium tequila that defines a new standard of quality and taste. Produced with fifth generation agave growers from the finest Blue Weber agave found in the highest regions of Jalisco, Mexico, Tequila Avion’s distinct flavors are achieved through a combination of slow-roasting at lower temperatures to protect the natural flavors of the Avion Agave and a proprietary ultra-slow filtration process which creates an unusually smooth taste profile. Tequila Avion is available in Silver, Reposado, Anejo, Espresso Liqueur and now Avion Reserva 44. Avion was named Best Tasting Unaged White Spirit and Best Tasting Tequila in the World at the 2012 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
