Ninkasi Helles Belles in Bottles, Spring Reign Release Party
Ninkasi Brewing of Eugene, Oregon has announced the release of their popular Helles Belles German-style Helles Lager from their Prismatic Lager Series.
Commercial description: An enjoyable brew with low hop bitterness but plenty of pleasant Spalt and Hallertauer hop flavor, this brew features Rahr Pilsner, Great Western 2-row and Great Western Vienna, fermented by Wyeast’s clean, crisp southern German lager yeast. This allows the malt body to come through in the finish for a rich, drinkable flavor.
Also, on March 13, 2012 from 5-8PM, the brewery will throw a release party for their Spring Reign seasonal release at Proof, a new bar located at 3566 SE Hawthorne Blvd in Portland, OR, next to Cup and Saucer.
Commercial description: Spring forward with this refreshing seasonal ale. Notes of toasted malt up front, with a bright and crisp Northwest hop finish, it’s a session beer that everyone can enjoy!

I wonder if Ninkasi collaborated with the cover band Helles Belles that continuously plays in Eugene or if it was just a similar concept and play on words.
