Weyerbacher Foxtrot coming May 15

(Easton, PA) – Head Brewer, Chris Wilson, passed some info along on the latest beer to appear in the Brewers Select Series called

Weyerbacher Foxtrot

. Foxtrot is #6 in the series.

The new brew does not necessarily fit a “style” according to Wilson but is similar to a “Dark Biere de Garde.” The bottles are typically only sold at the brewery though kegs of each edition get shipped out to a group of bars across the country.

Foxtrot, along with the new special edition Cork n Cage Double Simcoe will go on sale Friday, May 15th, from 5 to 7 pm at the brewery. All of the Weyerbacher brewers and cellar team will host a tasting event of the two new beers as well as samples of Cork n Cage Merry Monks and a few other surprise tastes.

Beer description via Wilson: “Foxtrot is an exceedingly complex ale brewed with six types of malt, two hop varieties, and one flavorful yeast strain. This dark, unfiltered concoction has upfront notes of molasses and white pepper, a middle filled with a roastiness reminiscent of iced coffee, and a finish layered with a light fruitiness and the delicate flavor of Saaz hops. Recipe by cellerman, Dan Hitchcock.”
