Next Generation Strong Ale Release @ PINTS

ThuPints Brewing Co.rsday May 17 starting at 4pm we will be celebrating the release of Next Generation Strong Ale at the PINTS Urban Taproom with $3 pints all day.  Next Generation Strong Ale was brewed for this weekend’s Sasquatch Brew Fest and also doubles as a tribute to my newborn son, Hunter Royal Beckwith.  Here’s the description:
Next Generation Strong Ale 7.8% ABV
This NW strong ale brewed for the 2012 Sasquatch Festival is made with floor malted UK base malts, light munich, caramunich and special B malts.  Cluster and columbus hops balance the rich, dark fruit malt character creating a robust pint that pleases malt and hopheads alike!
For those of you who haven’t made it down to the taproom or weren’t able to make our grand opening a few weeks ago this event is a great time to come try the full line of PINTS beers.
Looking further ahead, by the end of May we will also have on tap our spring session seasonal, Thomas Trotter English IPA.  Inspired by my undergraduate research work on beer in the  18th century British navy, Thomas Trotter IPA was brewed with a variety of floor malted UK bqse malts a touch of brown malt for color and 100% English Fuggle hops.  June will see the arrival of our summer seasonal, Green Line Summer IPA, an organic session IPA brewed for NAOBF that willbe available all summer long.
Hope to see everyone next week or sometime in the future.
Cheers,


Zach Beckwith

Head Brewer
PINTS Brewing Co.
