The next release in Firestone Walker’s Luponic Distortion IPA Series arrives once again without fruits, flavorings or shortcuts—just the magic of explosive fruit flavors from 100 percent natural hops.

Brewery Ommegang is proud once again to shine the spotlight on New York State hop farmers with the release of Hopstate IPA, a classic India Pale Ale brewed exclusively with New York State hops. Hopstate IPA is part of the brewery’s Farmhouse Series, a line of beers that draws inspiration from the brewery’s home on the site of a historic 140-acre hop farm.

The next release in Firestone Walker’s Luponic Distortion IPA Series is set to arrive with a bold new look that doubles down on the mantra of “flavors through hops.”

A revered Belgian tradition – the artful blending of different beers to create unique, transcendent flavors – has a new home in the New World. Brewery Ommegang of Cooperstown, NY is pleased to announce the launch of Blenderie Ommegang, a project focused entirely on very small-batch blended beers.

Upstate New York neighbors Brewery Ommegang in Cooperstown and Beekman 1802 farm and mercantile in Sharon Springs have taken seats at the table together to collaborate on a variety of projects this year, including two new beers. The companies, who enjoy a shared sense of a dedication to their craft and to the artisanal farmstead, are excited to share those values with neighbors as they introduce this series of products and events.

2018 is a year of expansion for Brewery Ommegang. The brewery is introducing a variety of new beers and undertaking a major renovation of the visitors’ center. Now, Ommegang is thrilled to announce the installation and commissioning of a new canning line and the launch of the brewery’s first on-site-only can release, the New England-style IPA Neon Rainbows, which to-date has been available only in very limited quantities on draft.

When John McDonald founded Boulevard Brewing Company in 1989, he never envisioned that the company would grow to 178,000 barrels and sell beer in 40 states. You can listen to McDonald discuss these topics, and more, on episode 111 of Taste Radio.

Beer and wine drinkers alike will want to “rosé all day” with Ommegang’s refreshing new ale, Saison Rosé. A blend of saisons, one aged on oak, the other brewed with hibiscus flowers and co-fermented with chardonnay grape juice, Saison Rosé is fruity, tart, dry, and incredibly quaffable. This lovely pale red beer will arrive just in time for summer.

In an effort to further establish itself in the high end craft beer category, Kansas City’s Boulevard Brewing Co. will launch a new line of premium-priced beers in the third quarter of this year, Duvel USA executives told Brewbound.

Brewery Ommegang is pleased to announce the release of a new beer this month: Double Barrel Dubbel, a beautiful blend of traditional Belgian-style dubbel aged in bourbon and brandy casks.

The Brewers Association today released its annual rankings of the top 50 U.S. beer companies based on 2017 sales volume estimates. Here’s how things shook out:

In this week’s Last Call: President Trump imposes tariffs on steel and aluminum; Heineken attempts to acquire a majority stake in United Breweries; Three Floyds’ expansion plans are approved; and more.

Neil Witte has seen the nastiest of the behind-the-scenes beer business — moldy couplers, walk-in coolers that smell like acetic acid and musty puddles teeming with draft spoilers.

Many within Boulevard Brewing Company believed Jeff Krum was preparing for retirement. Krum, Duvel USA’s vice president of corporate affairs and a 22-year Boulevard veteran, had spent 18 months months away from the brewery’s day-to-day operations after being assigned to complete special projects, such as a new visitors center and beer hall, which opened in July on Kansas City, Missouri’s Westside.
