TORONTO, ON – As part of its schedule of Toronto Beer Week events, Beer Academy has announced a release date later this week for a new beer created in collaboration with beer journalist Jordan St. John.
St. John Marzen is described as follows:
Collaborating with Beer Writer and Certified Cicerone Jordan St. John, we took a step back in time to focus on a simple style that still has a huge influence on beer today. St. John Marzen is an exercise in restraint, interpreting a classic Oktoberfest beer style. Four varieties of Hallertau hops give it depth without huge bitterness. Jordan recommends drinking it out of a really big mug.
A release party for St. John Marzen will take place in the Beer Academy tasting room (75 Victoria St., Toronto) on Wednesday September 18th from 3:00 to 6:00 PM. Samples of the beer will be available along with cheese pairings.
Other Toronto Beer Week events at Beer Academy include a Beer Cocktail Competition later today (September 16th), and a beer and cheese event on Tuesday September 17th in collaboration with Afrim Pristine of Cheese Boutique. For more details and ticket information, see the Beer Academy Facebook page.
No, seriously. Really big mug.
