<link>http://www.thebeerinme.com/news.php?item.283.16</link>
<description><![CDATA[Hood River, Or - Full Sail Brewing is proud to announce the special release of Black Gold Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Stout 2009. This highly anticipated release from Full Sails vintage barrel series has been a Full Sail brewing tradition since 1998. Every year since, Full Sails talented team of brewers brew an Imperial style dark ale and fill roughly sixty oak bourbon barrel casks, then age them in their cellar for about a year. "Wood and barrel aging is an art form that takes dedication, patience and care. We brew this special beer in small batches, thats why it is available in very limited quantities. You should get some while you can," explained Jamie Emmerson, Full Sails Brewmaster. The beer will be released in early February. According to Jamie, it was initially brewed in February 2008, and released as Full Sail Imperial Stout. A portion of the batch was reserved and aged for almost a year in Bourbon casks from Kentucky to create Black Gold. -<a class='bbcode' href='http://www.thebeerinme.com/e107_plugins/forum/forum_viewtopic.php?4212.last' >SEE FULL STORY</a>-<br /><br /><div style='text-align:center'><img src='http://www.thebeerinme.com/e107_files/public/1232565891_1_FT0_fullsailblackgoldstout.jpg' class='bbcode' alt=''  /></div>]]></description>

						<title>Sierra Nevada Introduces Year-Round Extra IPA</title>
<link>http://www.thebeerinme.com/news.php?item.273.16</link>
<description><![CDATA[Chico, CA (1/05/09) - For a brewery known for its use of hops, it seems out of character to wait nearly 30 years to produce a year-round IPA. Torpedo is worth the wait. Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. is proud to announce the release of Torpedo Extra IPA as the newest addition to its year-round roster of beers. This is the first full-production IPA to come from the brewery and the first change in its year-round lineup in over a decade. Why did it take so long to introduce a year-round IPA? The brewery has spent years experimenting, searching for a way to highlight bold flavors without resorting to hop extracts or pellets. Sierra Nevada has brewed with 100% whole-cone hops for 29 years with the belief that it makes a better, more natural tasting beer. Whole-cone hops offer subtle flavors and complexities that are unavailable in processed form. Rather than sacrifice flavor, they invented a way to do it better. Torpedo celebrates the brewery’s dedication to 100% whole-cone hops all the way through the brewing process. The name itself comes from a device called the “hop torpedo” that was conceived, designed and developed at the brewery. The result is a revolutionary method of dry-hopping that harnesses the vital hop oils and resins that lead to an unusually flavorful and aromatic beer featuring the full, nuanced range of spicy complexity that hops have to offer. Designed with a mixture of hop varietals, each with their own unique character, Torpedo Extra IPA has layers of flavors ranging from citrus, herbs, black pepper and pine, with delicate hints of tropical fruit. Torpedo is an assertive American IPA deep reddish-gold in color, with a smooth and bready malt presence and over-the-top hop aromas. The beer has a solid bitterness and a massive hop flavor, yet remains easy drinking with a pleasant dry finish. Torpedo Extra IPA will be available for hop fans nationwide in 6-pack bottles starting late January 2009.<br /><br />Contact: Bill Manley<br />530.893.3520 <br />Billm@sierranevada.com <br /><br />For More information: http://www.sierranevada.com/about/news.html#torpedo<br />]]></description>
