HALIFAX, NS – Garrison Brewing has announced the release of a new limited edition beer to mark the 20th anniversary of the brewery.
20th Anniversary XXX IPA is a triple IPA that the Atlantic Canada Beer Blog describes as follows:
A hybrid beer, lying somewhere between an extra-strong Imperial IPA and an American Barleywine, it features a simple grain bill of 100% Maritime Pale Ale Malt, with Glacier, Amarillo, Citra, El Dorado, and Crystal hops in the boil and Crystal and Centennial for dry-hop. Cold conditioned for two full seasons, it weighs in at a hefty 9% and 100 IBU. Despite the very strong malt presence, it still manages to be hop-forward, with earthy, floral, fruity hop flavors, fruity yeast esters, and sweet malt notes, including caramel flavours developed during an extended boil.
XXX IPA is available now at the Garrison retail store, and will be on shelves this week at private liquor stores in Nova Scotia, with distribution to New Brunswick and Newfoundland to follow.
