Public Coast Brewing 2023 Spring Seasonal Beer Releases
As we enter the 2023 Spring season, Public Coast Brewing Co. has re-released two of its special release beers and has introduced a new beer to its seasonal lineup. Returning are Uncle Fred’s German Wheat and Stackstock Candy Cap Stout. Joining these two is Violent Violet Blueberry Double Hazy IPA, a new collaboration beer brewed with Big Dog’s Brewing Co.
“We’re excited to bring back two very special fan favorites and a new collab beer this season,” said Will Leroux, Public Coast’s head brewmaster. “Uncle Fred’s German Wheat beer, brewed in honor of our friend, Fred Bowman, is refreshing and full bodied, with just a dash more clove and banana than your mother’s famous muffins. Violent Violet lives up to its name, packed with fruity tartness which allows the fruit to shine through and pair well with the malts and slight bitterness. And our Stackstock Candy Cap Stout continues to be a crowd pleaser for mushroom foragers, foodies, and craft beer drinkers alike.”
Here are descriptions on each of the three beers as provided by Public Coast Brewing Co.
Uncle Fred’s German Wheat
Uncle Fred’s German Wheat beer, a 5.0% ABV, is brewed with at least 50 percent malted wheat and also includes lemon drop hops. This style of beer will be light in color and typically carries notes of banana and clove. Uncle Fred’s is an easy drinker, highly carbonated, bubbly, and refreshing.
Violent Violet Blueberry Double Hazy IPA
Violent Violet Blueberry Double Hazy IPA is as luscious as it sounds, a 8.2% ABV, it’s a stronger take on a regular IPA – amplifying it with a bigger malt and hop profile. This beer contains fresh blueberries paired with extra hops and extra malt, which means it’s pretty EXTRA – extra fruity, extra hoppy, and extra hazy.
Stackstock Candy Cap Stout
Stackstock Candy Cap Stout, a 5.8% ABV, highlights the bounty of the land by infusing a stout beer with Candy Cap mushrooms, the hidden gem of the Pacific Northwest. This beer contains notes of roast chocolate, coffee and dark fruit with the subtle taste of umami from the mushroom. Think maple, caramel and pralines – like a sticky bun.
All three new beers are available on-tap and in cans at Public Coast’s brewpub in Cannon Beach. For a full list of beers on tap, visit: publiccoastbrewing.com/beer/.
